Leading medical spa operators Lanserhof Group has partnered with The Arts Club, a private members club in central London, to develop a state-of-the-art medical gym.

Expected to open in late 2018, the new facility is billed as the ‘ultimate medical and gym facility’, and will be the first of its kind to open in the UK. It will be located in the former Dover Street Market building directly across from The Arts Club.

It will be staffed by Lanserhof doctors and health professionals, and both Lanserhof clients and Arts Club members alike will be able to access expert medical advice, and cutting-edge treatments.

The facility will also feature a world-class gym, class studios, consulting and treatment rooms, cryotherapy treatment chambers and high-end diagnostic and medical facilities, as well as a carefully crafted menu of healthy food options.

Sheila McCann will serve as the facility’s general manager and will also oversee its sister property Grayshott Health Spa in Surrey. McCann has over 35 years experience working in the global spa industry and prior to Lanserhof was general manager of Thailand's famous Chiva-Som destination spa.

Dr Christian Harisch, CEO of the Lanserhof Group, said: “Lanserhof has a long-standing reputation as the world’s leading medical spa. We look forward to bringing this world-class knowledge to London and, with The Arts Club, we will help members and our own clients to continue to lead a healthier, happier and more energetic, prolonged life.”

Alice Chadwyck-Healey, executive director at The Arts Club, added: “The Arts Club members have been asking us to expand to incorporate a health and fitness facility in the London club, so we were really excited to be able to partner with the award-winning team at Lanserhof.”
