REBEL Gym by Studio C102
Located inside London’s Broadgate Circle, this 8,500-square-foot luxury gym takes a previous storage space and transforms it into a fitness center with a dark and moody nightclub feel. Studio C102 says they took inspiration from contemporary art and cutting edge retail design rather than the fitness center for an out-of-the-box result.

A fitness center in France gets a striking transparent exterior from Philippe Starck, who’s best known for his furniture, product design and interior design. The bubbly texture of the facade distorts views of the gym’s interior from outside and strategically allows natural light into the interiors, which are accented with typographic murals.
Adidas Gym Graphics by Buro Uebele
