Dubai, UAE – September 1, 2025

World Padel Academy (WPA), supported by the leading skincare clinic SkinLab, has launched Smash and Glow, a dynamic weekly padel series dedicated to women. This wellness and sport-driven initiative underscores a commitment to empowerment and inclusivity, reflecting the UAE’s ongoing efforts to celebrate women’s achievements.

Taking place every Wednesday from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Friday from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM at WPA Dubai, Smash and Glowoffers a unique platform for women of different skill levels to connect through padel in a relaxed, social environment. With an emphasis on connection and well-being over competition, the series encourages women to stay active while building a sense of community. As part of the collaboration, all female first-timers receive a complimentary dermatological consultation voucher from SkinLab.

“Smash and Glow is more than just a weekly padel session – it’s a special way to celebrate strength, confidence, and connection,” said Roudha Al Behzad, Ladies Manager at World Padel Academy. “We’re proud to have created this meaningful program with SkinLab, and it’s amazing to see how much women enjoy it. It brings together sport, self-care, and community – especially now, as the country celebrates the achievements and strength of women.”

The collaboration is rooted in a shared mission to support holistic women’s wellness. As interest in padel continues to rise across the UAE, Smash and Glow is positioned as a consistent and accessible entry point for women seeking wellness-driven alternatives to traditional sport environments. Moreover, by integrating self-care into sport, the initiative challenges conventional fitness models and invites women to redefine what strength and well-being look like.

“Smash and Glow offers a fresh perspective on modern wellness for women,” said a SkinLab spokesperson, Dr. Aafreen Khan “At SkinLab, our mission has always been to empower women to feel confident in their own skin. This partnership allows us to bring that philosophy to life beyond skincare, creating a space where beauty, movement, and meaningful connection come together.”

As interest in padel and holistic wellness continues to grow across the UAE, Smash and Glow is set to become a go-to weekly ritual for women seeking connection, movement, and mindful self-care.
