The gym space itself has dedicated areas for different types of fitness; functional training, boxing, cardio, free weights, and machine strength training. All members get a free consultation too with one of John Reed’s personal trainers, to really hone in on your goals. Group fitness classes - from cardio to hot yoga - are one-of-a-kind thanks to specially curated playlists.
The design of John Reed is really quite something, too. Murals by international street artists, an LED tunnel and even statues of Greek-like Gods. Its interior design, taken to the next level.
Enjoy the wellness area too complete with Finnish ladies and men sauna. Because downtime is important too!
