On the first floor, the access control is located, providing access to the spectator area or the members' area. It includes access to the cardio zone (located on the second floor), an activity room, and the locker room area, distinguishing between those for sports use or wet area, segregating "shod" and "barefoot" circulations. In the pool area, there is a SPA, shower area, saunas, foot bath, and space for massage and physiotherapy. With access to both wet and dry areas, there is a first aid kit and offices. The first floor also includes a divisible activity room.
