The new center will have a large exercise area and the latest equipments, a swimming pool, a sporting goods shop, a health food store, and a snack bar. In addition, the center will offer child care with special programs for various ages, a teen center, and a computer café. Nuk also wants members to have online access to customized training programs and progress reports.
