The Hundred was founded by Asma Lootah, an avid health and fitness enthusiast and sportswoman. After practising and falling in love with Pilates, Asma became the first Emirati woman to own a Pilates studio in the UAE. Through her vision and dedication, a centre that started as a modest studio in the Healthcare City has gone on to become one of the leading health centres in Dubai. The name of the centre was inspired by The Hundred, a deeply meditative Pilates exercise that focuses the mind, warms the body deeply, gets the circulation going and the lungs working. Held for the duration of 100 breaths, it prepares the body and mind for transformation. The centre offers a wide variety of services. From natural therapies like Homeopathy and Naturopathy to Physiotherapy, Chiropractic bodywork, Rehabilitative pilates and yoga to cutting edge technology like DNA testing, body composition analysis, light therapy, infra-red sauna and other treatments that not only heal but also diagnose and prevent injury and illness. It is also the home of the 100 CAFE, a beautiful and tranquil space serving delicious and nutritious comfort food. Asma’s mission is to prove that healthy eating doesn’t mean missing out on flavours and enjoyment and the cafe team works together tirelessly to bring this philosophy to life. The centre also hosts regular lectures, workshops and discussions with leading experts in the wellness field — on nutrition, fitness, happiness, and much more, giving you the opportunity to expand your mind, develop your interests and feel inspired to take on new challenges.
