Chris Howell of SPX Gym Design is a leader in five-star gym design, creating standout fitness spaces for hospitality and boutique brands such as Soho House, One Hotel, Proper Hotel, Hilton and Rumble Boxing. He joins us to break down what separates a basic gym from one that’s truly special.

We cover essentials versus luxury, where to spend and where to save, why flooring, lighting and flow matter, and how hotels can go beyond the gym with recovery and wellness spaces. Chris also shares how small, hard-to-quantify details make a space feel genuinely five-star.
