In summer 2017, the 450-bedroom Hotel Jen Beijing launched in the Chinese capital’s central business district. And with this launch came a gym unlike any other in the city. Spread over two floors is a 24-hour fitness facility that boasts an ultra-modern interior design, vibrant graffiti artwork and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer breathtaking panoramic views of Beijing.

Conceived by Stickman Design, the Trainyard Gym features 11 dedicated workout zones, a 25m heated lap swimming pool with skylight, a Mixed Martial Arts area, sauna, steamroom, whirlpools, juice bar and several studio spaces – including a 30-bike spinning studio and a Pilates room.

Clifford Weiner, general manager of Hotel Jen Beijing, says: “There is no other fitness space like Trainyard Gym in Beijing and we are proud to be bringing this world-class health club experience to the city.

“It will be a place for local residents and foreign guests to connect, workout, push limits, and break boundaries together.”
