<p>Madonna has opened her first gym in Mexico City &#8211; before teaching an exercise class to a few lucky members.</p>
<p>The Queen of Pop cut the ribbon on Hard Candy Fitness, then taught a dance class for 20 hand-picked members with music by Paul Oakenfold, the DJ who opened her last tour.</p>
<p>Madonna chose to name the centre after her last album &#8211; which she says in fitness parlance is the perfect combination of &#8220;hard body&#8221; and &#8220;eye candy&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a sexy name that gives you the opportunity to have fun and to build strength as far as the imagination will allow,&#8221; the singer, dancer, actress, children&#8217;s author and clothing designer said.</p>
<p>The star says she decided on Mexico City because it was a stop on last year&#8217;s Sticky &#038; Sweet tour, which grossed 408 million dollars, second only to the Rolling Stones&#8217; A Bigger Bang Tour. She said she liked the energy of the people.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our plan is to use Mexico as a place to fine-tune our brand and then expand it to other countries and, in the long term, develop a global brand that includes the US.&#8221;</p>
<p>Madonna said at the opening that she also chose the country because she loves its culture, food, art and architecture and that she didn&#8217;t worry about Mexico&#8217;s wave of drug-related violence when deciding where to open the gym.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of places I go are dangerous, like Tel Aviv or Rio (de Janeiro), but that never stops me from going there and putting on a show. I have good security. I don&#8217;t worry about that,&#8221; she said surrounded by three burly bodyguards. Dozens of police officers and security guards were outside to keep some 300 screaming fans at bay.</p>
