Remember Leeloo, the “perfect woman” from Luc Besson’s science-fiction film “The Fifth Element” played by Milla Jovovich? The 5th Element, an up-scale fitness club, is designed to make you feel and look at least a little bit like her – if you’re willing to spend the cash, of course.
Among its more unusual services, 5th Element offers a spa jet capsule: As you lie inside wrapped in seaweed, warm infrared light penetrates your skin, making you feel rejuvenated, according to the club specialists. It comes highly recommended for those who are sick and tired of life’s monotony and grey winter skies.
The club offers many other, more traditional, services: apart from the regular gym, there are over 40 workout courses, including Pilates (very popular among Hollywood celebrities, by the way), multiple aerobics, yoga, head-to-head fight trainings, tennis courts, swimming pool and saunas. The 5th Element provides coaches for tennis or bowling, and offers courts for rent by the hour.
For those who want to lose weight or maintain their figures, 5th Element’s will whip you into shape with easy exercises that are affordable for persons of any age. Professionals can also help you develop a personal diet plan and customized training schedule.
