For a healthy body and soul

FITNESS of the mind, body and the soul is what you get when you enter the bright and colourful world of Solaris. From body fitness, sports, interesting activities to events, tournaments and even a play and learn school for little ones, who are not so privileged, to guests houses and organic food, Solaris has added many feathers to its already colourful cap.

FITNESS FIRST 
If fitness is on your mind, then Solaris is the answer. With state-of-the-art equipment and a team of expert trainers, programmers and nutritionists, it is a complete package for a healthier you. If you want to lose weight, or aim for a body like Salman Khan or Kareena Kapoor but lack motivation, then take up the Transform Challenge. “Many of us give up easily on our health. We started this competition four years ago to motivate our members to achieve fitness goals. We give them 13 weeks to reach the target with the help of our fitness instructors and a workout regime. The prize money, one lakh that we give to the winner, is a big motivating factor for them to get fit,” says Jayant Pawar, director, Solaris. The main aim behind conducting the event is to change the attitude towards life and help people enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Apart from this, the club also offers a gold membership, allowing members to use the services provided at any of its six fitness clubs, which include the new branches coming up in Koregaon Park and Kothrud.

The club also conducts events to get to know its fellow members and take a break from the routine regimes.

The club also has introduced the concept of garage sale in city, where all members can display the goods that are not really useful for them anymore but are in good condition to be sold on this day. To make the hot days cool for your children, the club hosts a summer camp for kids each year.

FOR A GOOD CAUSE 
Solaris also takes time to help out those in need. The club has a play and learn school for the underprivileged called Disha. “We wanted to provide these kids with a fun learning experience, where they can learn  not from text books but also enjoy activities including craft, art, drama, painting, meditation. The children also get to play many games like tennis, table tennis, squash, badminton, rock climbing, high wire adventure, swimming, cycling, roller skating, cricket, mini basketball, carrom, puzzles and others,” says Pawar. Another activity the club has recently started is of adopting roads for a cleaner and greener Pune.
