High flyers working in the central business district of Frankfurt are being offered an exercise space which reflects their occupational status.

Prime Time Fitness – which operates six clubs in the German banking capital – has opened its newest gym at the 53rd and 54th floors of the Main Tower skyscraper in the heart of the city.

Located 200m above the busy streets, the 500sq m (5,381sq ft) club offers stunning 270-degree views of Frankfurt – as well as an exclusive fitness experience.

“When you work out at that height, you get very relaxed because you are far above your daily tasks and problems,” says Prime Time managing director Henrik Gockel.

“You are able to observe the hectic pace of life – and the traffic jams – from far above and think to yourself “what for?“ So after the work out, which is an escape from reality, you will feel strengthened and are able to dive back in again.”

Targeting people who work in the city’s Bankenviertel – or central business district (CBD) – the club will have an emphasis on individual and personal training. Memberships start at €100 (£84) a month.

The club houses a 100sq m (1,676sq ft) CV area with True and Woodway Curve treadmills and bikes, Freemotion incline treadmills, Octane steppers and a range of other equipment supplied by Matrix and Cybex.

There is also a 50sq m (538sq ft), 11-station Milon Premium circuit – including two Milbration plates and a Milonizer – and a 150sq m (1,614sq ft) Cybex strength and free weight area with racks and benches.

A 80sq m (861sq ft) functional training area completes the gym floor and the club has been fitted out with an Activio heart rate system.

According to Gockel, the number of memberships will be limited to ensure “the best training service and access to all equipment without waiting”.

“We will look to cap the number of members at around 500,” Gockel reveals. “For the monthly membership, each member gets six one-to-one sessions per year.”

The Main Tower is the fourth highest building in Germany and is owned by the Hessische Landesbank HELABA, the government bank of the regional state of Hessen.

The building houses 62,000sq m (667,382sq ft) of office space and more than 2,500 people work in the building.

Prime Time club members will have direct access to the two express elevators through fingerprint control. The non-stop elevators reach the club on the 53rd floor in around 40 seconds.
