• Chris Howell - From Wall Street to Wellness Chris Howell’s Journey to Revolutionising Fitness Design

  In this episode of Brave Bold Brilliant, we sit down with Chris Howell — founder and owner of SPX Gym Design - to explore how he's redefining the future of fitness and wellness spaces. From his early days as a Division 1 lacrosse player and Wall Street trader to becoming a global leader in gym and wellness design, Chris shares his inspiring journey of blending functionality, luxury, and personal storytelling into every space he creates. Discover how Chris crafts bespoke gyms for high-end homes, NFL athletes, luxury hotels like Soho House and 1Hotel, and innovative wellness hubs across 14 countries. We dive deep into the trends shaping fitness spaces today, including saunas, plunge pools, meditation zones, and the integration of recovery into gym design. Chris also reveals how collaboration with architects and designers brings his vision to life - creating environments that are as emotionally powerful as they are technically excellent. You'll hear why: Success often comes from following interests and being open to opportunities rather than having a rigid master plan. The journey can evolve based on experiences and networking. The design of a gym or wellness space significantly impacts a person's motivation and willingness to engage in fitness. A welcoming and well-designed environment can make individuals feel more inclined to work out. Different regions have unique approaches to fitness and wellness, influenced by local customs, preferences, and available resources. Understanding these cultural nuances is crucial for successful gym design. Creating a sense of belonging and community within a gym can enhance member retention. Personal connections and accountability, such as friendships or trainers, play a vital role in maintaining motivation.
