Athena is a fitness center for men and women of all ages. The comfortable atmosphere makes gym-goers feel relaxed while they work out or try out a special program. The gym offers diverse lessons taught by experienced professionals in activities from yoga, tai-chi and aerobics, to more modern offerings like "Sexy Power", Latin dance, and ballet. There are three classes a day every day of the week except Sunday, so it's easy to find a class that will suit you. They also have a steam room and sauna, as well as a lounge area with magazines and even a Wii. Yearly membership costs NT$18,000 and includes use of the facilities, lessons, and even personal trainers and fitness advice. --By Mong Yie Khaw, translated by Ann Lee, photos by Meirin Huang
