A boutique gym is much more than a place to exercise. They are meeting and socialization spots where interior design and architecture play a significant role. Here are seven examples that embody the four trends applied in boutique gym design:
David Lloyd in Gavá, Catalonia
This mind & body area designed by NAOS uses wood to create the necessary warmth and well-being atmosphere for practices like yoga and pilates. Notice the dim lighting, subtly adjusted to emphasize the wooden tones in the space.
Tsaya building, Mexico
Housing, a shopping center, and a boutique gym converge in this luxurious tower located in Santiago de Querétaro, conceptualized by Manuel Torres Design. The sports area is designed to be an active part of the community, interacting with its surroundings.
Classic Fit, Valencia
PUREFITNESS based Classic Fit’s interior design on the quest for an urban identity that integrates into a more global biophilic concept, using natural elements, noble materials, and vegetation.
David Lloyd in Turó, Catalonia
Another significant mind & body area by NAOS, where wood is combined with the neutral gray tone of the cement finishes. Notice the biophilic contrast with greenery, strategically placed in certain areas and in the equipment.
Featness Gym, Andalusia
This boutique gym in El Puerto de Santa María, planned by PUREFITNESS, is the complete transformation of an industrial warehouse into a fitness space with cozy social and coworking areas.
NAW CENTER, A Coruña
NAW CENTER’s motto is “We are not another gym”. Corporate communication and signage are crucial, and in this project, they go hand in hand with architecture. CLC Arquitectura developed a boutique gym where space was a significant constraint. The challenge was to adapt to a venue in A Coruña’s city center, consisting of a U-shaped ground floor and a smaller mezzanine. The selection of finishes considered durability and design. The aim was an exclusive image with some austerity and minimalism, reflected in white walls and polished concrete floors, creating very clean and bright spaces, free from visual pollution to enhance the feeling of spaciousness in different areas.
Brooklyn Fitboxing in Catalonia
Manuel Torres Design completed the renovation of this Brooklyn Fitboxing chain center in just ten weeks. They transformed it from an open space with metallic structures and wooden beams into a maximally utilized area, covering it with fireproof and acoustic materials that significantly improve comfort and safety. Highly durable laminated flooring was used in corridors and high-traffic areas, like this reception and store area.
