Four Aura treatment rooms (for "relaxation and detoxification") hide at the back of VIDA Fitness Renaissance, beyond the typical gym noises--the clink of free weights and whir of dozens of state-ofthe-art cardio and cycling machines. Other VIDA Fitness perks (here and at locations next to the Verizon Center and at 15th Street NW's Metropole complex): a European sauna and steam room (co-ed), decadent rainfall showers and an inviting "endless pool" (think a "treadmill" for swimmers). But in the section dedicated to the new 4,000-square-foot Aura Spa, pampered guests find intimate spaces for meditation, private yoga instruction and massages with exotic muds and scrubs (above), warm Baltic stones and trigger-point techniques. The "Zone Therapy" wrap draws inspiration from Egyptian practices, while the "Detox Body Cocktail" wrap claims to "extract pore-clogging impurities." Amiable technicians also offer services from eyelash tinting and body waxing to the "Lactic-Plus Peel" and, in all fairness, the "Gentleman's Facial." Visit vidafitness. com.

Staff members with a "practice what you preach" mentality sell active wear both eye-catching and technically sound from neon leotards and sporty "Da Bomber" jackets to all things yoga (tunics, pants, mats and bricks).
