London
(ANI):
Queen
of
Pop
Madonna
has
opened
her
first
gym
in
Mexico
City.
During
the
opening
event,
the
52-year-old
taught
a
short
dance
lesson
to
a
handful
of
Hard
Candy
members
at
the
event.
The
name
is
inspired
by
her
eleventh
studio
album,
which
topped
the
charts
around
the
world
in
2008.
“It's
a
sexy
name
that
gives
you
the
opportunity
to
have
fun
and
to
build
strength
as
far
as
the
imagination
will
allow," the
BBC
quoted
her
as
saying.
The
star
is
expecting
to
open
a
chain
of
gyms
and
chose
Mexico
City
for
the
first
one
because
she
likes
the
energy
of
the
people,
she
said.
“Our
plan
is
to
use
Mexico
as
a
place
to
fine-tune
our
brand
and
then
expand
it
to
other
countries," added
Madonna.
Madonna"s
love
for
exercise
has
been
well-documented
over
the
years
and
it
is
speculated
she
works
out
every
day
and
follows
a
carefully
controlled
diet.
Chris
Dedicik,
who
helped
Madonna
create
the
gym,
said
the
star
was
very
hands-on
when
designing
the
concept.
“She
chose
the
graphics,
colours,
the
machines.
She
has
weighed
in
on
the
choreography
of
all
the
classes
and
given
them
a
twist
to
make
them
more
dynamic,
more
special
and
to
better
reflect
her
style," he
said.
Eventually,
Madonna
concluded
saying,
“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.
We
spend
what
it
takes
to
make
a
globally
first-class
gym."
