VIDA Fitness has opened its fifth site in Washington, US. Located in the City Vista mixed-use residential development, the club is a US$500,000 (380,000 euro, £317,000) redevelopment of a space previously occupied by Results Gym, which closed in 2010.

Designed by Stoneking-von Storch Architects and Hallock Design Group, the new club offers 2,330sq m (25,000sq ft) of fitness space.

This is designed into three main zones. Zone one is dedicated to CV exercise, including a group cycling studio equipped by Keiser.

Zone two is devoted to strength training, with equipment from Life Fitness, Precor and Intek. Zone three is reserved for flexibility training and accommodates the group fitness studio, Inner Fitness studio and abdominal stretch areas.

There's also a communal area and a guest lounge, with a Fuel Bar - offering healthy snacks and smoothies - set to open later in the year. An Aura Spa is also planned - the brand's fourth location - with the opening scheduled for 2013.

The company aims to have eight VIDA locations open by 2015.
