In this article, we shall explore today’s hectic lifestyle and thus its impact on our overall relations, how quality time becomes essential for all family members and how in this context, private clubs can become a safe haven to rebuild and re-energize these connections.

Quality of time spent with loved and close ones is essential in today’s scenario rather than the quantity of time spent. This is more relevant in today’s times with an increasingly hectic lifestyle with the digital world also invading our lives dramatically. Thus the presence of a relaxed space to unplug and reconnect with family and friends has become even more critical now. 

Privates clubs are offering opportunities to the urban families to spend some quality time with each of their family members:

1. Quality time with children: We have a lifetime to get work done, but children and their childhood come only once and cannot be relieved. In the given situation, children are devoid of time spent with their parents, all the more when both the parents are working adults, with work schedules spilling over the weekends as well. So, a child’s time spent with their parents, whether from simple board games or physically stimulating sports or even a lip-smacking brunch or meal, helps create memories for a lifetime, which impacts their self-worth and, as a result, helps mould them into the adults they finally become. 
2. Time with grandparents: For working parents, grandparents come to the rescue whether for a short period of time or a constant in their lives which is highly beneficial to kids as they experience unconditional love and pampering from them, which is extremely important in their formative years. Moreover, grandparents are vital carriers of tradition and culture, which they pass on to the next generation, ensuring the same is passed on in the form of stories, forgotten activities etc., in the safe and relaxed environment of the club interspersed with shared activities and food. 
3. ‘Me-Time’ for Women: Women have generally been programmed to be nurturers and caregivers, and, despite the 21st-century culture of equal responsibility and partnerships, women often end up taking more on their plate. This leaves them with little or no ‘me’ time, leading to burnout. A woman needs to take some time out for herself to enjoy a healthy, balanced and enriched lifestyle, both physically and emotionally. Apart from fine dining and activity centres, the private clubs offer opportunities to relax with a spa, Jacuzzi, steam and sauna, and open-air cafes to have a relaxing day in the club.
4. Mid-week destination for Couples: In today’s world, most families consist of working couples with both husband and wife pursuing a 12-hour workday, followed by the day-to-day struggle of family responsibilities. This limits any scope for quality togetherness vital to strengthening a marital bond. A brief mid-week ‘date’ at the private club offers a relaxed and peaceful ambience for couples to actually ‘hang out’ and catch up on some quality time together before they head out again to face the world. A lunch date or a game of tennis, a swim or just a relaxed spa session at the club can help rejuvenate their bond. The combination of sport, fun, and recreation becomes a great stress buster for them, which improves their quality of life and improves overall productivity, thus providing an outstanding balance between family, social life, and work.
5. A place of refuge for working moms and their kids: Mothers play a vital role in a child’s overall development. One of the most critical roles a mother plays is a nurturer’s role. Most mothers nowadays are working women, and it becomes challenging for them to take up the roles of being full-time mothers. Private clubs are the perfect refuge for the working moms to get out of the cacophony of the city life and spend some time with her kid in a peaceful atmosphere. From power-Yoga sessions and modernistic gyms to table tennis, basketball and swimming, and Zumba, dance and aerobics sessions for women and children, the offering cater to the varied tastes and preferences of the members.

In conclusion, as an integrated, well designed and strategically-located venue, lifestyle clubs provide a much sought-after place for urban families, businessmen, and millennials to seek quality time in a luxurious and comfortable ambience within the city’s heart.
