A 400 SF hotel gym at 1 Hotel Central Park, floored with wood upcycled from the University of Wisconsin's basketball court.

Most hotel gyms are a checked box. The Field House at 1 Hotel Central Park is the opposite. 1 Hotels made a deliberate decision to renovate in 2020 and invest in a gym program that could stand alongside their wellness brand attracting the luxury consumer who expects the gym to be as considered as the room. The result is a small but well executed space that punches above its footprint.

400 SF on the second floor. Turf strip running the center with a sled and TRX at the far end. Woodway 4Fronts and Pelotons facing 58th Street. Sorinex multi-storage rack with dumbbells 5–75 lbs, kettlebells, and accessories. Half rack and Freemotion cables to round it out. The gym floor is upcycled from the University of Wisconsin's basketball court.

What's inside

  • Sorinex
  • Freemotion
  • Custom Dumbbells
  • Power Lift
  • Woodway
  • Peloton

What they got right

  • Reclaimed wood floors upcycled from the University of Wisconsin's basketball court. We needed to add impact areas given the lack of resiliency.

Love & Miss

Love
The upcycled gym floor. Salvaged from the University of Wisconsin's basketball court, it's the kind of material detail that turns a 400 SF hotel gym into a talking point. 1 Hotels wants to be known as a brand that takes the gym seriously at every property.
Miss
At 400 SF, The Field House is undersized for a 229-room hotel. This is a common challenge in NYC but is a real risk when multiple guests want to train at the same time.
