World Class to open new health and fitness club in Openville Timisoara mixed-use project

The Openville Timisoara mixed-use project will accommodate the largest health and fitness club in the country.

The World Class brand, market leader in the health and fitness industry in Romania, will inaugurate, as of the first half of 2019, a new club covering 3.399 square meters. Openville is currently under construction and integrates the current Iulius Mall Timisoara.

The people living in Timisoara will have at their disposal a 25-meter semi-Olympic swimming pool, a Crossfit area, cycling and aerobic studios. The club will be equipped with the latest fitness equipment from Technogym, world leader in technology-driven fitness solutions and official supplier of the Olympic Games.

The new World Class Club in Timisoara will be included in the Silver category and it will be located in the new building where Iulius Mall will be expanded. The current Iulius Mall Timisoara club will run as usual until the opening of the new club and will be relocated consequently.

After this new opening, World Class Romania will count a total of 33 active clubs, 21 swimming pools, a team of nearly 500 personal trainers and 350 specialised health fitness instructors.

The Openville Timisoara mixed-use project is currently pending construction and will be the largest mixed-use project in the west of Romania and the main business, shopping and leisure destination here. The project will complete the retail offer of Iulius Mall with 47,000 sqm of additional premises, thus adding up to a leasable area of 118,000 sqm. The new premises will be fitted in an expansion wing of the shopping mall, on the ground floor of the office buildings and in the upcoming park area of the project.

Openville will include seven class-A office buildings, 450 stores, VIP cinema concept, two conference and event centers with 10 halls, as well as a variety of restaurants and themed cafés, with a panoramic view overlooking the largest suspended park created from scratch in Romania.

After the two office buildings completed in 2017 (UBC 1 and UBC 2), works are underway in Openville Timisoara for two other office buildings (UBC 3 and UBC 0), the new retail spaces, an underground parking lot with more than 580 parking spaces, as well as a traffic underpass that will streamline the traffic in the entire area.

The project is developed by Iulius Group and Atterbury Europe, adding up to an estimated investment of 220 million Euro.
