An Instagram post claims Gymshark is planning a public gym under the Gymshark Lifting Club name, with a location the caption gives as 2050 N. Miami Avenue in Wynwood, an expected opening in January 2027, and a footprint described as nearly 20,000 square feet. The caption is unverified; no business announcement, press release, or permit filing in the supplied source material confirms any of these details.
The Gymshark Lifting Club name is currently in use for an employee-only corporate fitness floor at Gymshark headquarters in Solihull, England, according to intenzafitness.com. Set inside a former warehouse, the facility runs a lifting rig, weightlifting platforms, free weights, and two group studios, along with Intenza cardio equipment and an Escalate Stairclimber. The floor also serves as a space to prototype product, film campaigns, run the Gymshark fitness app, and host staff events in a 100-person auditorium.
Founder Ben Francis, who launched Gymshark in 2012, is quoted by intenzafitness.com on the Solihull space: "During our time in this industry we have had the pleasure of visiting and training at the best gyms in the world. Gymshark Lifting Club will see us combine our favourite parts of each of these gyms to create something which will serve as the ultimate home to anyone really interested in conditioning."
No primary source in the supplied material confirms plans for a public-facing location. No opening date has been confirmed.
