Holmes Place has opened its first health and fitness club in Hungary. The Gozsdu club is situated in Budapest's recently refurbished historic Jewish quarter, in a series of inter-connected courtyards known as Gozsdu Udvar.
The health club, located in the underground cellars of the Gozsdu Udvar, offers a 250sq m fitness suite with an extensive range of Precor CV equipment, including eight Adaptive Motion Trainers. This is complemented by a 70sq m indoor cycling area and a 165 sq m studio which hosts classes such as kickboxing, yoga, pilates, circuit training and power dance.
There is also a 108sq m swimming pool which overlooks one of the courtyards, two Finnish saunas, a steamroom and a spa pool. A luxury day spa is also due to open in the next few months.
General manager Tamás Balog says: "We have been extremely pleased with the reception the club has received. Whether members want guidance and motivation on their workout, nutritional advice, to learn a new discipline such as yoga, or simply to rest and relax in our day spa, this club enables them to live a more balanced and fulfilled life."
Since the beginning of 2007, Holmes Place has opened seven clubs in Central and Eastern Europe, with more new openings planned for the region in 2009.
