Condition of the body
In the health club an advanced cardio-vascular test and training program is available. Through a computer-operated test-unit the complete condition of the body is charted. On the basis of these figures we can measure the individual with a fitness score which is related to age, sex, profession etc. Following the fitness test, we create a personal training scheme. For members of the Executive Health Club, this is an extremely useful program to measure their progress following training activities.Perhaps you are wondering what ‘Kinesis’ means. Kinesis is the Greek word for movement, explains Renate Klaver, the manager of the Okura’s Executive Health Club. “Kinesis is a new exercise method aimed at certain muscle groups. It provides stability and agility while exercising.” This Italian invention by Technogym replaces traditional strength equipment. Manager Renate Klaver is very enthusiastic about the Health Club’s latest addition. “It is a unique exercise wall, where the individual determines the movement’s centre instead of the equipment. It’s three-dimensional, so it’s not only possible to move up and down or back and forth, but also to combine all movements at the same time. For example, you can turn around and practice tennis strokes or golf swings. In addition, all movement is met with resistance and a far greater range of exercises is possible. It’s more natural, so it’s also more functional.”

Hotel Okura Amsterdam is your ally in the battle against a problem familiar to the business travellers jet lag. A special program is designed to get jet laggers up on their feet and raring to go. It includes a Philips Bright Light Energy to help put your body's clock back on schedule, stretching exercises and a pool work-out in the Executive Health Club, a body massage chair and your choice of pillows to help you sleep better (we'll even remember your favourite one for your next visit). To complete the program, nutritious breakfast and dinner menus have been developed by the Executive Chef for that extra needed energy. Take the active route to reducing jet lag effects you'll be tired from travelling but you will be surprised how well you perform at that next business meeting.

Please take advantage of the Jet Lag Program and contact the reception desk or reservation office for rates and availability. Okura Club International Members (OCI) may reserve this program at no additional costs (except of course the special meals), another reason to join this exclusive group of frequent travellers !
