KUALA LUMPUR, December 2024 – ASCARO Padel & Social Club, Malaysia’s premiere padel destination hosted the inaugural GoodFest Event this past weekend featuring a variety of wellness activities and a padel tournament.
As the padel sport has been gaining popularity, the event was attended by about 400 people including regular players, wellness enthusiasts, influencers, and experts from different specialties. There was also a padel tournament, The GoodFest Cup, which added a healthy dose of competition.
“I was absolutely thrilled by the amazing turnout at GoodFest! The event was a perfect blend of wellness, fun, and padel – all complemented by a fantastic weather and enthusiastic guests,” shared Deserie Martinez, Head of Events and Communications at ASCARO.
THE GOODFEST EVENT
The GoodFest event showcased more than just padel as other wellness activities were also available for participants, ranging from restorative activities like yoga, meditation, and breathwork to strength-building like pilates, core and circuit workouts and barre.
While there were many physical healthy activities, there were also talks that served as valuable food for thought. One of the topics highlighted was about ‘Mastering Manhood’ by Mauri, opening the conversation about what modern masculinity is expected in our current society. This talk brought to light the complex terrains of men needing to balance the personal and professional, with the need to stay physically and mentally strong. The talk encouraged the benefits of belonging to a supportive men’s community – one that can be fostered in places like the padel courts.
The other talk was about stem cell technology and how it has revolutionized the wellness space by Dr. Jezzamine Lim, CEO and founder of Cell Biopeutics Resources Malaysia. Cellular performance plays a big role in the recovery and aging aspect of wellness journeys; this biotechnology has introduced stem cell therapy and stem-cell-derived cosmetic products.
Finally, a padel tournament, the GoodFest Cup was the main event with 98 players competing for prizes and wellness goodies.
PROMOTING PADEL AND WELLNESS
Aside from the activities at the event, there were also a variety of products, rehab and physio consultations, and various other wellness-supportive brands. These included So Good, Dunlopillo, Fred Perry, Precise Rehab, Regen Physio & Sports Rehab, L’evive, l1vin, Glaceau Vitamin Water, Perrier and Licky Chan.
