A historic landmark with canal views, original windows, and a rock-climbing wall skybridge.

This week’s Gym of The Week is Amsterdam’s Soho House. One of my favorite things about this gym is the view of the canals and maintaining the original windows of the building, which was a historic landmark in the city. I also met Harry Styles a few times here when we were doing the install and pre-opening. I had no idea who I was talking to. Either way, this gym is a design must see.

Unique flooring designs and strategic millwork tie together the interior aesthetic of this historic landmark.

What they got right

  • Stunning architectural building with canal views to host this unique gym.
  • Unique rock-climbing wall designed through otherwise an unusable skybridge to connect the open gym and studio.
  • Unique flooring design to tie in the interior aesthetic.
  • One of the best class studios I’ve ever seen with strategic millwork for multiple modalities.
  • A strong group fitness program with generally good utilization for a member’s club.
  • Nice hospitality pockets to wait for a friend or coach.

Love & Miss

Love
The vibe of this gym is incredible. The design, the people, and environment is inspiring.
Miss
The equipment selection could have been much better and one of the biggest improvements this space could use. The local membership seemed to prefer more functional/free weights approach vs machines.
