Santosa just opened on a yet unpaved road in town, between Fantastic Gardens and Banjolux. You may sign up for a full year or a month at the time, also for a series of classes.

Super-woman Corinne, the owner, handles much of the instruction including a Sunday morning Power Step class which is described as a high paced explosive session with a series of killer abdominals at the end.

Santosa is beautiful. Corinne's husband, co-owner Pim Janse-Voermans reports he thought about retirement but then decided that islands' residents need a helping hand as far as fitness and condition are concerned and opened the club.

No, it is not a gym, and you will find no weightlifters pumping iron at Santosa. The club has two classrooms, fully air conditioned and totally equipped, one for classes the other for spinning, with high-tech new bikes.

The foyer also serves cappuccinos and cold drinks in a social setting.

The dressing rooms are fully equipped and nicely laid out with lockers and hair dryers.

The official opening catered by a Taste of Belgium, was a great success with a considerable number of people in attendance.

Santosa offers classes for kids and teens and in the very near future will also start a beauty salon and massage therapy center.

The boutique displays trendy sportswear from Argentina, Brazil and the USA. Join for Aerobics, Pilates, Spinning
