Best Practice teamed with Exos and Precor Equipment to deliver WORKOUT, a premium gym experience for members in downtown Seattle’s iconic Columbia Center tower. Transforming several former retail storefronts into large open workout areas, an exercise studio for classes, a massage room and luxurious locker rooms, the design team employed a dark palette coupled with dynamic imagery, lighting and pops of color to enliven the interiors of this new amenity space.

A custom wood paneled portal acts as a clever separation between novice style equipment and the more advanced area.

Warm, dark colors are paired with dramatic lighting to create a clean, dynamic ambiance that feels warmer and more inviting than the traditional lights that make you feel like you’re performing on a stage.

The locker rooms are meant to be a relief from the busy activity of the gym space, giving members a luxe environment to relax and get ready for their day. Italian tiled walls and floors echo the geometry and colors from the work out spaces but are deployed to provide a light and bright counterpoint to the dramatic exterior.
