centre de culture physique

CONT: Depuis quelques années, les clubs de santé poussent comme des champignons [...]
OBS: Dans la publicité française, les établissements de ce genre se désignent surtout sous le nom de Centre d'esthétique corporelle.

OBS: Although the term ""health spa"" principally denotes a luxury resort, today, because of marketing forces, it has also come to mean a special building or room, often in a hotel, where people may exercise, swim or otherwise condition the body; hence a synonym to ""health club"" or ""fitness club"". The shorter term ""spa"" should be restricted in its use to denote a mineral spring or the resort area containing such springs as well as hydromassage, mud and salt baths, etc. consequently when translation ""spa"" into French, it is important to determine the true meaning of the word.
