At The Statesman, we have always believed that no detail is beneath consideration. The equipment you lift. The air you breathe. The expertise of those who guide you. And now — the very light under which you perform. Most gyms illuminate their spaces with flat, artificial light that fatigues the eye, suppresses the mind, and disconnects the body from the rhythms it was designed to follow. We found that unacceptable. Which is why The Statesman Wellness Club has become the first fitness facility in India to install SUNROOOF — a patented indoor sunlight technology, engineered in Germany, that recreates the look, feel, and biological effect of real sunlight from the ceiling above you. Not simulated light. Not bright LEDs. The sun — indoors, on demand, at any hour.
Yoga is, at its deepest, a practice of union — between the self and the natural world. Yet for decades, modern practitioners have been confined to artificially lit rooms, disconnected from the rhythms that the practice was born within. At The Statesman, that changes. Practise yoga beneath a ceiling that breathes with the day. A morning session bathes you in the soft warmth of a sunrise. A midday class offers the full, clarifying brightness of open sky. The light shifts with the hour, not a static bulb that knows nothing of time. The experience of practising under SUNROOOF is — without exaggeration — the closest an indoor practice can come to being outdoors.
There is a reason every great outdoor workout feels different from one indoors. Part of it is air. Part of it is space. But a significant part — one that exercise science is only now fully quantifying — is light. Morning light exposure increases healthy cortisol levels, and exposure to natural-spectrum light throughout the day is linked to improvements in energy, hormones, and overall mood. When you are moving through a Zumba session or pushing through aerobics under The Statesman’s daylight-matched lighting, the room is not just lit — it is energising you at a biological level.
SUNROOOF is not a traditional skylight. It is a patented lighting system, engineered in Germany, that recreates the look and feel of sunlight right inside a room — an artificial skylight that delivers a sky-like glow from the ceiling, with no glass, no construction, and no need to cut through the roof.
We have spared no consideration in building The Statesman. The equipment is Italy’s finest. The trainers are among Delhi’s best. The facilities are built for those who accept nothing less than the best.
The light was always going to be the same.
SUNROOOF brings life to what was once simply a ceiling — and in doing so, transforms the entire nature of the space beneath it. At The Statesman, your yoga is no longer practiced indoors. Your Zumba is no longer constrained by four walls. Your workout is no longer separated from the sky.
The sun is above you. Always.
