INVITATION ONLY Fitness First Gravity, Singapore
Gravity’s hexagon motif
represents the brand’s six points of health focus
F 50
itness First recently unveiled its ‘invitation- only’ health club concept, Gravity, with the first location due to open later this year in the CapitaGreen building in Singapore’s
central business district. Membership costs around £300 a month plus a £1,500 joining fee. The US$7.3m club has been designed by Nick
Gray and Studio HBA, a division of hospitality design fi rm HBA. The theme of the six points of Gravity – wellness, vitality, lifestyle, structure, performance and equilibrium – is echoed in subtle design cues around the club, represented by the hexagon motifs including on the ceiling and fl oors. Meanwhile, a strong part of the design brief was to
maximise the space, and particularly the outdoor space. This is in keeping with the overall CapitaGreen building which, designed by Pritzker Laureate Toyo Ito, has been created to be like a plant growing towards the sky, with lush greenery enveloping the building. Alongside the outdoor pool area and deck, with its
view of the CBD skyline, the Gravity club therefore incorporates a yoga deck for sunrise yoga.
The great outdoors: The pool offers a panoramic view of Singapore CBD’s skyline, and there’s also a yoga deck for sunrise yoga classes
