Jogging under the open sky, strength training in the fresh air in a community-oriented sports and fitness area, visits to courses and spas in the studio or even doctor’s appointments – all this will be possible in Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier. Many flexible areas and offers provide visitors with numerous opportunities to engage in sporting activities. With the regionally anchored brand Sports Club, project developer and investor Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) Germany has now brought on board the exclusive partner for the flagship fitness offer. With a view to the social trend area around sporting activity, well-being and health, Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier gains additional profile through medical services and doctor’s practices.
Embedded in the vibrant mixed-use quarter, Sports Club offers a new home to all those who value fitness, sport and relaxation in a unique atmosphere. On an area of more than 1,500 square metres, the northern German company offers its members a variety of fitness facilities. With the latest technologies for cardio training, strength training areas, special areas for circuit, crossfit or functional training as well as an industry-leading variety of equipment, no wishes are left unfulfilled. The Sports Club will be equipped with the latest equipment lines from Life Fitness, Hammer Strength and Egym, among others. There will also be a huge course selection from world market leader Les Mills. The sports and fitness offer will be rounded off with a wellness and spa area including a sauna. An ambience of the finest materials, state-of-the-art equipment and professional training support awaits visitors. Whether individual or group training, strength or endurance training – thanks to the training plans that are individually created for each member, everyone achieves their goal. Sports Club will open the most modern flagship fitness format of its kind in Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, where the fitness and sports community can also enjoy outstanding price-performance ratio.
Sports Club also sets standards in terms of sustainability and hygiene. The saunas are not only powered by green electricity, but are also equipped with innovative climate managers and thermal blankets that keep the heat in the cabins for a long time, so that significantly less heating is required. All fittings can be operated without touching them and with just one chip wristband all fixtures – from the glass entrance gate to the changing lockers and drinks facilities – can be controlled in a fully digitalised way.
Alexander Sosa, Managing Director of Sports Club, says: “We are very pleased to be part of this breathtaking development project in the most beautiful location directly on water and at the same time in the middle of the city. The 12th Sports Club will be one of the most beautiful, I can promise. With a panoramic view of the river Elbe, top-quality facilities and the latest equipment technologies. We can hardly wait for construction to begin and are already well advanced with our planning. We will report live on the expansion on our social media pages and keep all sports enthusiasts in Hamburg up to date.”
Constantin Wiesmann, Director of Leasing Austria & Germany at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, says: “With Sports Club, we are bringing our partner for flagship fitness on board and sharpening the profile of Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier with a view to the social trend area of sport, well-being and health. Sports Club is once again an exceptional and industry-leading concept that fits perfectly with our aspirations for the quarter. We are therefore very excited about this great addition and also particularly pleased that we can once again welcome a true local hero from northern Germany.”
Thanks to the running tracks and freely accessible sports areas, Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier will also be a destination for all those who prefer outdoor sports. In addition, medical practices and other providers of medical and health-oriented services are planned. In retail sector, e.g. with the 2,000-square-metre concept store by Intersport Knudsen, and the food & beverage range, suitable offers for the sports, well-being and health cluster will also be implemented.
