New Premium Class Fitness Centre to be Built Outside Moscow
09 September 2008
ZAO Mosstroyrekonstruktsiya (a company of LSR Group) has proceeded with the building of a unique fitness centre in Grunwald, an elite residential development currently under construction by the company in Zarechiye. The developer’s efforts will allow to make Moscow level health and fitness facilities available to those living outside the capital city.
The three-storied fitness centre with an area of 2,185 sq.m will supplement the architectural ensemble of the Grunwald neighbourhood composed of thirteen club-style buildings. The residents and the management company will employ a professional operator to implement the concept developed for Mosstroyrekonstruktsiya by R-Fitness, a company that owns a network of Reebok sports clubs. The sports and leisure centre will be open daily all year round and will have a capacity of 200 people per day. The total investments in construction will be around US$ 6 million.
Sergey Choban, the author of Grunwald neighbourhood’s architectural concept commented:
“Unlike most of fitness centres opening nowadays the Grunwald’s facility will not be located inside any building but will be provided with an independent architectural volume of its own. This has allowed not only to develop a unique multifaceted functional concept of a fitness institution but also to provide a striking accent to the architectural and layout solution of the neighbourhood as a whole. The fitness centre is located at the end of the central promenade alley and looks like a coloured glass statue placed in space and having a shell that makes a striking contrast with the more solid-looking residential buildings of the compound.”
The fitness centre meets the top international standards offering to its guests:
• Sports swimming pool with aqua aerobics and massage areas
• Weight rooms and a cardio theatre
• Beauty parlour and cosmetics rooms
• Massage and tallasotherapy rooms
• Russian bath and Turkish bath (hamam)
• Tanning room, Vishy shower and thermasonic
• Restaurant bar with a winter garden
• Usable roof with a mini golf court
• Children’s club and a splash pool
Mosstroyrekonstruktsiya aims at creating a facility that will not be inferior to its counterparts located downtown so that even after leaving Moscow people would not feel deprived of the conveniences they have access to in the capital.
