New Yoga venture for DIR
DiR, the chain of health clubs in Barcelona, Spain, will open its first specialist yoga studio - YogaOne - next month.
YogaOne will offer three studios that can also be combined into one 400sq m studio, to be used for masterclasses led by internationally renowned yoga gurus. Classes will be available in seven different styles of yoga, as well as specialist yoga for kids, partners and pregnant women.
In October, DiR will also open a new club, DiR Tuset, within the same building as YogaOne. Members of YogaOne will receive 10 per cent off membership of the club, and vice versa, but the companies will operate separately, with their own entrances, pricing structure and so on.
The new 4,000sq m club will include 2,000sq m of fitness encompassing CV, weights and group exercise. Also housed within the fitness area will be a medical centre focusing on core training and back problems.
The club will also offer 2,000sq m of relaxation facilities - a spa, restaurant, water zone comprising hot and cold experiences, and a social area with sofas and WiFi internet access.
DiR has also invested more than €3m over the last few months in its existing 14 clubs and one pilates studio. Every club in the estate has had work done since 2009, including extensions to the clubs, new spas, new paddle courts, new kit and the installation of restaurants.
