Health club operator Aspria is due to open its newest club in Hanover, Germany, at the end of this month.

The €24m (£21m, US$31m) development is part of a renovation project at the Maschseebad Lido, a listed building, undertaken by Pellikaan Construction. The fitness and wellness area is located in a new 9,000sq m extension.

Facilities include a fitness suite, three group exercise studios, group cycling, outdoor activities – such as beach volleyball, Nordic walking, running and water activities – and a kids’ club.

Training and learning pools have been added to the Lido’s large external facilities, while a spa area offers spa pools, a range of saunas and steamrooms, a solarium, an ice room and treatment rooms.

Aspria’s five existing clubs are located in Berlin and Hamburg, plus three in Brussels – one of which, the exclusive €200-a-month Aspria Avenue Louise, has recently undergone a €250,000 refurbishment. The refurb included new equipment from Star Trac: HumanSport cables, E-Series cardio equipment and the Inspiration strength range.
