KERRY SPORTS AND SPA

Spanning 6,000 square metres over three levels, Kerry Sports, which includes the Adventure Zone and Spa, is Shanghai’s largest fitness and recreation destination, designed as a springboard for an active and healthy lifestyle for the entire family.

With 10-metre high floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking Century Park, surrounding villas and the financial district’s skyline in the distance, Kerry Sports provides an overwhelming feeling of space. Operating round-the-clock, the gymnasium spans four activity zones comprising more than 80 pieces of state-of-the-art exercise equipment: the “Iron Man”, Cardio, Personal Training and Strength Circuit Training.

Aimed at endurance building, the “Iron Man” zone allows prospective triathletes to complete their training needs in one place – a first for a sports club in Shanghai. Along with spinning bicycles and treadmills with personal television screens and iPod charging docks, the zone introduces a first in Asia: the Vasa kayak and swim trainer bench, which simulates swimming while providing resistance normally provided by water.

The Cardio zone features more than 40 Star Trac cardio machines, including the latest-model treadmills, bicycles, rowers and cross-trainers, while Strength Circuit Training provides a full body work-out within 30 minutes with weight resistant machines and ten TRX suspension fitness trainers. The Personal Training Zone, including a body combat zone, is ideal for one-on-one customised training with Kerry Sports’ certified personal trainers.

Four exercise studios measuring in size from 50 to 140 square metres, allow for classes in aerobics, yoga (including hot yoga), spinning, with a total of 19 stationary bicycles and Pilates, with eight Reformer beds.

Additional recreation facilities at Kerry Sports include an indoor heated 25-metre swimming pool, a vitality pool equipped with massage jets and a children’s splash pool, all in a glass-walled enclosure overlooking a 700-square metre outdoor rooftop garden, with a jogging track. A tennis court, basketball court and a children’s playground with a mini-climbing wall round out the Kerry Sports’ recreation facilities.

For relaxation, heated loungers with personal television screens are available in the wellness lounge, as are Jacuzzis, scented steam rooms and saunas in the locker room areas.

Spa guests arrive in an airy yet intimate circular reception area; the circle being the perfect shape to symbolise wholeness and oneness to mirror the ethos of the Spa and its treatments. Skincare and body treatments at the Spa specialise in health and beauty with a focus on holistic care and physiotherapy, including traditional Chinese medicine treatments derived from ancient Wushu healing traditions. Nine treatment rooms, two devoted to physiotherapy and one designed for couples’ treatments, range in size from 12 to 30 square metres. All rooms come equipped with showers and changing facilities, and are bathed in a light silver palette warmed by walnut timber paneling. The Spa gallery features exclusive skincare products and spa gift items for sale.
