Madonna, the uber-buff Material Girl, opened her first upscale gym in Mexico City yesterday. Hard Candy Fitness is “a sexy name that gives you the opportunity to have fun and to build strength as far as the imagination will allow,” said Madonna in a Q& A, according to the Associated Press. The 30,000 foot fitness facility boasts a yoga salon with a floor of bamboo imported from China. The cardiovascular machines are also state-of-the-art, but would we really expect anything less? “If any of you have seen my shows, you know that I don’t skimp on them and the same is true for the gym,” she said. “We spend what it takes to make a globally first-class gym.” And membership prices reflect that with monthly fees of about $160.
