Sport and Spa

Each club has been designed to offer all the facilities needed for sport and wellness. Each club is individual and offers a different range of facilities according to location. In all clubs, members and guests can train on endurance and strength apparatus, alone or with a personal trainer and participate in group classes. The larger clubs schedule more than 150 weekly classes. Some clubs offer functional training studios and equipment and all clubs have at least one swimming pool. Outdoor and indoor tennis, sports halls and beach volleyball complete the offer. Aspria's spa offering plays a central role within the Group and services include saunas, steam baths, hamam, rasul, massages, facial and body treatments and solarium. Via Aspria Academy, children have their own sports activities, coaching, creativity workshops and holiday camps. A crèche service is available for babies older than 12 weeks. Up to the age of 14 years, children can take part in children’s sports classes, thereafter joining the adult classes and – after instruction – can train on selected wellbeing equipment.
