Origin Circle: Revolutionizing Wellness in the Heart of Beirut

Origin Circle is Lebanon's first social wellness club, bringing a fresh and innovative approach to fitness, recovery, and community. Located in the historic St. Nicholas Steps in Beirut’s vibrant Gemmayzeh district, the club opened its doors in June 2024, marking a new era for wellness in the region.

A true fusion of global wellness trends and Lebanese heritage, Origin Circle is designed to provide a comprehensive, holistic experience that integrates the best of fitness and recovery services.

A Visionary Concept Born from a Shared Dream

Founded by lifelong friends Farah Dagher and Michelle Chammas, Origin Circle was inspired by their years living in New York, where they immersed themselves in the dynamic wellness culture. “In New York, we discovered a variety of innovative fitness and wellness experiences. When we returned to Lebanon, we noticed a gap in the market and felt compelled to create a space that seamlessly merges fitness, recovery, and community,” they explain. This vision became a reality with the opening of Origin Circle, which has since become a landmark in Lebanon’s wellness scene.

A Comprehensive Wellness Experience

Origin Circle’s offerings cater to a wide range of wellness needs. The club boasts boutique fitness classes, featuring the latest techniques such as Lagree on the megaformer and microformer, microbootcamp, mat Pilates, and yoga. Members can also enjoy signature infrared-heated hot Pilates and yoga sessions, designed to enhance physical performance and promote relaxation.

In addition to its fitness offerings, Origin Circle provides a variety of active recovery treatments that help members rejuvenate and restore balance. These include cold plunges, infrared saunas, pressotherapy, and therapeutic massages—services that reflect the club’s dedication to complete wellness.
