Metropolitan opens 'Las Arenas' club
Spanish operator Metropolitan has opened its latest health club in the new Las Arenas complex in Barcelona, this month.
A former bullring, the mixed use development was designed by Richard Rogers and opened at the end of March. Metropolitan's club occupies threequarters of the complex's fourth floor.
The 2,400sq m club is equipped by Technogym - including Kinesis - Life Fitness, Keiser and Power Plate.
There's a pilates studio, plus group exercise studios offering 700 hours of programmed classes every month.
There's also an outdoor running track that circles around the facility and takes in the city vista, and an aquatic centre with a 25m swimming pool. Diet and nutrition support and programming, as well as an on-site doctor, are also on offer at the new club.
A spa offers a range of wet facilities including feature showers, a hydrotherapy pool, Turkish bath, sauna and relaxation areas. "Our offering isn't centred on sport but on broader wellness, health and even relaxation - looking after yourself in body and mind," says CEO Javier Pellon.
There's also a beauty salon offering everything from massages to facials, manicures and pedicures to physiotherapy and ayurvedic treatments.
More detail will be available in the new opening feature in the next issue of HCM.
