The new facility is located at the Torch and was granted the certificate upon its opening.
Another bar was raised in fitness in Doha as The Torch Doha’s gym was granted the highest indoor facility of its kind upon its opening on Wednesday.
“Congratulations, you are now officially amazing,” Kanzy El-Defrawy, official adjudicator of the premier record-keeping organisation Guinness World Records, said, declaring the feat.
The gym is located on the 50th floor in the iconic Torch building, 247 metres above the ground.
The official record certificate was handed by El-Defrawy to Abdulla Nasser Al-Naimi, the acting CEO of the Aspire Zone Foundation, and Wael Al-Sharif, the Torch Doha’s Area General Manager.
“This record is a new record title, so there is no previous or current record holder for this title,” El-Defrawy said, adding that all the standard criteria to keep and verify a record were met.
The new gym is a part of The Torch Club, a members-only fitness sanctuary, which “blends cutting-edge technology with Qatari hospitality” while offering culturally attuned wellness services, according to a statement.
Located on the 50th and 51st floors, it offers a panoramic view of Doha, as well as the Aspire Zone facilities, most notably the Khalifa International Stadium and the Aspire Dome.
It is another feat for the iconic building, which also features the world’s largest external 360-degree screen, installed in time ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Situated at 300m high, the Torch Doha is modelled after an Olympic torch and was constructed in time for the 15th Asian Games in 2006, which the Qatari capital hosted.
It served as a colossal torch throughout the games and was later turned into a full-fledged hotel, with facilities such as a rotating restaurant at the top.
The indoor gym will, hence, add to The Torch Hospitality’s “ever-expanding array of diverse experiences” by offering advanced Technogym services, the statement added.
