Spa review | The Spa @ Metropolis Fitness & Spa
By MARIA TETTAMANTI
The lowdown: Working on your fitness and getting glam has never been easier, thanks to this newbie Coral Gables-based gym and spa. Metropolis mixes the best of gym technology and classes with a spa serving up massages, facials, non-UV tanning, teeth whitening, hair treatments, manis, pedis, waxing and more.
The 'hood: Located a hop, skip and jump away from the Shops at Sunset Place, Metropolis is also across South Dixie Highway from the University of Miami.
The vibe: The spa oozes a contemporary feel with its zebra rug, exposed air ducts and cream floors

The Health
Hybrid - March 23, 2009
The Health Hybrid The spa-gym is taking
over Miami, and you have nothing to lose but bad skin and
that spare tire
By GINGER HARRIS
Remember
when a gym was just a gym and a spa was just a spa? In our
fast-paced, multitasking times, someone came up with the genius
idea to integrate the two. We’re going to dub it “spgy” (hey,
it worked for Brad and Angelina). And the idea is spreading
through Miami like wildfire. The latest mind, body and
soul one-stop shop on the “it” list is Metropolis
Fitness & Spa at 1430 Madruga Avenue
in Coral Gables. Get your cardio in for the week, stretch
out with some yoga, score a manicure, sip on some fresh
juice and then schedule a teeth whitening. Yup, you can
do it under one roof at Metropolis. They even have on-site
child care to watch your little rugrat. We wonder if they
can whip up something for tonight’s dinner, too.
Wouldn’t that be nice? Like all the gyms before
it and all that are sure to come, Metropolis offers high-end
equipment and a variety of classes in a super fancy facility.
And like with most spas, they offer top-of-the-line treatments,
including manicures, pedicures, the previously mentioned
teeth whitening, blowouts ... you get the picture. While
none of these services are a novelty, it’s nice to
know you can do it all at this one-stop shop, er spa, er
gym, er spgy. With so many spa/gyms making such an effort
to offer you everything you could ever need in one go,
it’s getting harder and harder
to justify that beer belly and lackluster complexion
you’re walking around with. Get the
ball rolling on the extinction of both in just one afternoon.
Metropolis is even offering discounted memberships for
a limited time. That’s even more
convenient. Now you really have no excuse.
