NEGRIL, JAMAICA – This August, Dream Wknd turns up the tempo with a bold new crossover event that’s got the island buzzing. For the first time ever, Jamaica’s biggest party weekend teams up with fitness festival pioneers Gains & Planes to bring you HIIT DI BEAT – a high-energy dancehall-inspired fitness class that fuses movement, music, and unapologetic Caribbean culture.
Taking place August 5th, 2025 at Woodstock Bar & Grill, HIIT DI BEAT is the ultimate mash-up of sweat and vibes. Expect booming basslines, professional instructors, and a crowd of over 100 movers ready to turn their workout into a party. This is not your average fitness class, it’s a culturally Jamaican, full-body endorphin rush set to the riddims you know and love.
“We’re fusing fitness and culture in a way that’s bold, inclusive, and undeniably Caribbean,” says Lindsay Baxter, founder of Gains & Planes and former director at global events giant Informa PLC. “Fitness is the new flex, and Dream Wknd continues to lead from the front by embracing what’s next. We’re thrilled to partner with them on something this fresh and culture-shifting”.
Dream Entertainment’s Group Managing Director, Scott Dunn believes HIIT DI BEAT will be a positive addition to Dream Wknd’s line-up: “We are always trying to find interesting activities for our Dreamers to ensure that Dream Wknd is the holiday of their dreams. I can’t wait to HIIT DI BEAT!”
The pop-up is part of a wider global movement blending fitness and nightlife, from Strava’s collab at Paris Fashion Week to Barry’s Bootcamp at Coachella. And with fitness tourism now worth over $900 billion globally, Jamaica is perfectly placed to ride the wave.
Dream Wknd, already a magnet for international travellers, now adds fitness to its famed five-day lineup of parties. HIIT DI BEAT serves as a sneak peek of the full Gains & Planes “Fit & Lit Weekender”, returning to Negril this Halloween with four days, ten events, and unlimited vibes.
