Gran Meliá Cancun has introduced a new state-of-the-art gym to provide guests the opportunity to stay fit and holistically balanced while visiting one of the most sought-after beach destinations in the world.  The Yhi Spa Wellness Center becomes a part of the resort’s unique spa concept, Yhi Spa, a Leading Spa of the World.

The goal is to create an overall sense of serenity for guests, from the resort’s Asian-inspired Eco-Spa and water ritual area, to the multi-sensory ambience of intoxicating scents and mystical sounds.

Featuring two distinct areas, the Yhi Spa Wellness Center offers a variety of fitness activities and equipment catering to all workout styles and preferences.  In the movement studio guests can enjoy a peaceful yoga or Tai Chi lesson, or get their heart racing with a spinning class.  The expansive gym area includes a mixture of cardio and strength equipment with treadmills, stair climbers, stationary bikes, strength machines and free weights.

As part of Yhi Spa’s holistic approach and methods, the wellness center offers Yhi Moves featuring fitness, personal training and wellness activities specially designed to meet guests’ desires for achieving the perfect wellness balance.
