Chilworth Manor in Southampton has launched its new £3m health and fitness club.

Called theclub@chilworthmanor, the site is owned and operated by the directors of the hotel and facilities will include a 900sq m gym equipped by Nautilus, an exercise studio, spinning studio and heated swimming pool.

A variety of holistic and beauty treatments will be available in four treatment rooms and users will also benefit from a spa bath, steamroom and sunbeds.

The club’s spa uses Comfort Zone products in its treatments, including aromatherapy, hot stone massages, manicures, body wraps and pedicures.

Gavin Elliott, director and hotel manager at Chilworth House, said: “This new complex will offer the hotel a much needed leisure facility which will include the provision of the latest equipment.

“The club will make a significant contribution to our hotel and is set to take our leisure breaks and conference facilities to a new dimension. Having a quality leisure option will be a tremendous boost to business.”

The club’s target membership stands at 1,250 and the facilities will be open to children as well as adults.
