At this time of year our national focus shifts to working off all those extra mince pies, Christmas chocolates and New Year glasses of bubbly. Gyms across the country are lining up to entice new customers through their doors to work off the excess pounds produced by the holiday season. But the New Year doesn’t have to mean a new gym membership to add to the pile of unused resolutions from previous Januarys. Instead, smart homebuyers are building their exercise routine into their property demands, as James Saunders, COO of London-based developer Quintain, explains,
“With a wide range of sports and fitness available on site, the Wembley Park area is the epitome of a modern, well designed district for residents who are committed to regular exercise as part of their lifestyle.”
Each building at Wembley Park has been designed with residents’ wellbeing in mind. Emerald Gardens is ideally suited to those who like to work out in the sunshine, with almost an acre of landscaped gardens surrounding the contemporary apartment buildings under construction. It also has its own gym, which is due to open this summer.
With an approach of ‘new home, new you’ for the New Year, Quintain has just released the last 26 units at Emerald Gardens for sale. Buyers can move in within a matter of weeks, with the first completions due as early as April: perfect for owner occupiers wanting to be in their new home this summer.
As an area, Wembley Park is known for its commitment to physical activity. The SSE Arena, Wembley and Wembley Stadium* play host to numerous sporting events year-round. From impact wrestling at the SSE Arena to football and rugby at Wembley Stadium, sports fans area spoiled for choice. Students with a love of sport can even pursue their passion through education at UCFB Wembley, studying sports business and coaching (such as an MA in Sport Management) taught inside Wembley Stadium.
For residents who want to participate in physical activity rather than just watch, Wembley Park has everything from residents’ gyms to swimming pools, dance studios and fitness suites. There is even a set of seven five-a-side all weather football pitches and beautifully landscaped grounds that are ideal for walking and running around. There are also regular classes at Wembley Park’s Yellow Pavilion, including yoga for adults and street dance for children. Attendance is free for the first class, so residents can trial a class to see what takes their fancy.
Running is a popular way in which many residents are seeking to improve their health and maintain fitness levels. Locals can often be seen enjoying the early morning light as they run before work, on their own or in small groups. For those who like to run en masse, a number of organised activities such as the North London Half Marathon, the Asics running club and the Color Run provide a fun and inspiring environment in which to participate.
For runners looking to purchase new kit for the New Year, the prime location of London Designer Outlet is perfect for Wembley Park residents. With a Nike Factory Store, Asics, Adidas, Skechers and so much more, the designer retail outlets ensure that all those who exercise in the area look fabulous while they are doing it, whatever their chosen activity.
The British Heart Foundation’s Physical Activity Statistics 2015 publication reports that just over half of UK adults (56%) engage in moderate (or more intense) physical activity. The impact that a sedentary lifestyle has on health is staggering and highlights the importance of adding fitness features for all ages into new developments. It is one of the factors that has inspired Quintain to make residents’ health such a core component of the design at Wembley Park. It’s about making lifestyle changes easy for residents to embrace as part of their routine. Even the site’s transport network plays a part – with Bond Street, Baker Street, King’s Cross and Marylebone stations all less than 20 minutes away by tube or train, residents can enjoy spending less time commuting and more time honing their fitness regimes.
With sports and fitness available in such abundance, the Wembley Park area is the epitome of modern, well designed home for residents who are committed to improving their wellbeing both through ownership of a fabulous contemporary home and through regular exercise. It’s the perfect blend of new home and new you for the New Year.
