katecracknell@leisuremedia.com First Jewel Box opens its doors
The new jewel box concept is said to deliver ‘a sensory-evoking, luxury eco-friendly experience’
Sports Club/LA opened the doors to its new jewel box club in Chestnut Hill – just outside Boston, US – last month. The jewel box concept – a brainchild of
Smaiyra M Million, CEO of Millennium Partners Sports Club Management – is said to be a first-of-its-kind health club experience that provides members with “an unrivalled sensory-evoking, luxury eco-friendly experience” delivered via a blend of cutting- edge technology and sustainable architecture. The new club is the first of the Sports Club/
LA family to be created outside of a downtown urban location, and takes on a more intimate format than the company’s existing large-scale, multi-purpose clubs. However, it has been designed to offer the same state-of-the-art
health and wellness experience that members have come to expect from the brand. Some unique features at the new club
include a two-sided floating fireplace in the lobby; a ‘sensory’ member lounge with changeable floor-to-ceiling relaxation visuals; and a glass-enclosed, REV cycling studio featuring lighting special effects, heart rate monitoring and a panoramic screen offering simulated rides, races and tours set in locations across the world. The gym includes a specialist weight
training room equipped by Keiser. Other facilities include an 80ft artificial turf running track, yoga and pilates studios, saunas and salt-infused steamrooms, and a juice bar.
Extension for UCD Sport & Fitness Centre Alongside the gym, UCD Sports & Fitness
University College Dublin (UCD) Sport & Fitness Centre has unveiled its new gym, which has re-opened following site renovations that saw the facility more than double in size. The 850sq m gym – which is kitted out with
over 100 pieces of CYBEX cardiovascular and strength training equipment – will support over 2,500 members from the student population and local community, as well as athletes and sports students. Indeed, while supporting the needs of its
students and the local community, the gym at UCD is also used as a training site for professional rugby side Leinster.

offers a 50m swimming pool, tepidarium spa, a range of indoor and outdoor pitches, a climbing wall, squash courts and a rifle range. The innovative centre also has its own
combined heat and power plant and generates its own electricity, the excess of which is used by the university. It also has a rainwater harvesting system. Ciaran Magee, CYBEX sales manager for
Ireland, says: “The new €50m UCD Sport & Fitness Centre is undoubtedly one of the country’s top sports facilities and every component of the site reflects this.”
