SWIMMING POOL and PICNIC AREA
Deck chairs and chaise lounges on beautifully manicured lawns around the magnificent pool make the pool complex an ideal place to spend a relaxing weekend with family and friends. The pool is also big enough for serious swimmers to do laps and get a serious swimming workout!
GYMNASIUM with Steam Room
A small but well-equipped gym that may only be used by Club members, ensuring that it is never too crowded. The gym has a range of resistance and cardio training machines, including three exercise bikes, two treadmills, a bench press, various common resistance training machines and different barbell and dumbbell weights (and of course, a TV featuring M-Net and Supersport!).
Its very personal atmosphere and 'private gym' feel makes it ideal for the average person wanting to tone and get fitter in a quiet and exclusive atmosphere far removed from the noise and overcrowding of big commercial gyms.
The gym is also more than adequate for any serious athlete, as it features the presence of a professional personal trainer ready to give you a few free pointers during your workout or a session of personal training. Adequate changerooms include a steam room.
