Club Metropolitan Cap 3000 opened its doors for the first time in France four years ago. After a meteoric rise in Spain (because yes, Club Metropolitan is first and foremost a Spanish chain specialising in top-of-the-range fitness), the Club decided for its first visit to France to set up shop on the French Riviera on the top floor of Cap 3000 Nice. Facing west, the sunsets enhance the already exemplary view and make it a great asset!
The strength of the Cap 3000 gym lies in its “premium” services worthy of a 5-star hotel. In the same place, there is a complete gym, top-of-the-range changing rooms, a SPA, a restaurant and coworking area and a wellness area with massage.
Let’s have a look at each of the services that the metropolitan club offers:
1. Gym area
The gym is divided into five areas:
- Indoor weight training and cardio room with new technology machines.
- Outdoor weight training and cardio area on the 1000m2 terrace
- Cycling room
- Classroom (dance, pilates, body pump, yoga…): 900 hours of group classes are offered throughout the year
- Cross Met area for Crossfit enthusiasts
Added to this, you have a team of highly professional coaches who take charge of you. They take you to the weigh-in and ask you a lot of questions about your goals and your lifestyle. I’m a total novice in sports so they prepared a very complete program with different exercises (number of repetitions, recommended weight, recovery time). It’s a real pleasure to feel accompanied and it’s even more motivating!
Another important detail: you have a real team of cleaners who constantly come to clean the machines or clean anything they can. Everything is so clean that it’s even more pleasant to spend time there even without doing any sport.
2. Cloakroom and shower area
A top of the range changing room with a sleek design and fully equipped. Everything has been carefully thought out (hair dryer, GHD straightener, cologne, safe). No need for a padlock, your connected bracelet provided at registration will serve as a key to open and close your locker room. This bracelet, for my part, has not left my wrist since the first day. I sleep with it, eat with it, run with it, swim with it (and yes, it’s waterproof, not bad isn’t it?!).
As for the showers, they are spacious and equipped with shower gels/shampoo.
Moreover, two towels are lent during the session and water fountains are available to fill the water bottles.
3. Catering and Coworking Area
After a good workout, it’s time to sit down in the catering area next to the running machines and order a small Caesar salad. Or, alternatively, before starting the session, you can start by working on the computer for a while or having a quick meeting on zoom. Add to this a small espresso and a madeleine to fill the small hollows…. Here are a few examples that we can all relate to. You make yourself at home!
This is especially useful for people who work from home, as many of them are no longer able to work from home. I am only teleworking for a few days and when I was presented with this workspace, I immediately accepted. The sofas and seats are comfortable. Electrical outlets are available. The WI-FI connection is optimal. Sometimes I just come to work without doing my workout.
A small detail that is important, the costs of catering are not included in the subscription. So everything is at your expense.
The Metropolitan Cap 3000 Club is more than a gym, it is a place of exchange which aims to create links
4. SPA area
Another strong point of the club is the SPA area where you can relax after an intensive training session.
It includes innovative and complete facilities listed below:
- nebulized showers
- water beds
- bithermal showers
- shower bucket
- cervical jets
- ice fountains
- hydromassage
- sauna
5. Relaxation and wellness area
Finally, a little bonus to complete the whole, the wellness area to relax and take care of yourself. The services are also complete: facials, body treatments, dietician, osteopath, massage, hair removal etc… For me, this last service was the one I was least interested in as I already have my own habits.
On the other hand, two appointments are included in your subscription with a dietician and an osteopath but also a facial or body treatment is offered free of charge.
