Profile Health & Fitness Club, an independent operation owned by Paul Sansome, opened its second location in November.

The new site – located in the Palace Hotel in Sliema, Malta – follows the success of the inaugural club, which has been operating in the Hilton Euston in London, UK, for 13 years.

The focus is on achieving balance for total wellness, with bespoke lifestyle plans that include functional movement screening, dietary analysis, biological age testing and DNA testing. The Malta club has also partnered with a neighbouring private hospital to offer tests such as blood lipid profiling and chest X-rays.

The 280sq m club offers a functional training studio, gym, rooftop group exercise area, indoor pool with relaxation lounge, rooftop infinity pool with poolside sushi bar, and sauna/steam/UV cabins. Suppliers include Technogym, Jordan and Nike.

Membership costs €1,250–€1,800 a year. Although a package is available that doesn’t include personal training, at this stage the club has a 100 per cent uptake on PT. An executive lifestyle management programme is also available for business travellers.

Sansome now has plans for further locations: three more in Malta and one in Beijing.
