€18m fitness club and spa opens in Rome
BY Helen Andrews
The €18m (US$24m £14.6m) Valeas Club in Rome – a health club that combines culture, business, sport and well-being – has opened in the municipality of Pomezia.
Designed by architect Lucio Blancodini, developed by owner Angelo Di Tullio and operated in-house, the centre comprises a physical activity area, restaurant, Valeas Beauty Centre, spa and Physio-Hydrotherapy Studio.
The Spa, built around a Zen garden, is based on the ancient Roman bathing experience and includes a hydrotherapy pool, bio sauna, steamroom, salt grotto, spa pools and hot fountains, plus a range of experience showers and different relaxation zones.
The Spa is directly connected to the Valeas Beauty Centre, where treatments are carried out using Comfort Zone products.
A Physio-Hydrotherapy Studio allows guests to experience curative treatments from therapists and doctors who specialise in physical medicine, rehabilitation and orthopaedics.
Valeas' indoor and outdoor sports facilities include Technogym equipment, a wide selection of courses and classes, in addition to three separate pools – an indoor fitness pool, outdoor relaxation pool and an indoor 25m (82ft) swimming pool.
The bar and restaurant provides food and drink for a balanced diet – in conjunction with its many fitness programmes – to prevent obesity, hypertension and high cholesterol, which in turn can lead to various illnesses.
There are also two meeting rooms on the top floor of the building for events.
