The club’s grand opening is slated for November 1, with pre-sales happening now. The gym’s design will embrace the culture of the neighborhood while honoring the history of the building.
Surrounded by high-energy music with crystal chandeliers throughout, Henry’s will offer an immersive, elevated fitness experience. Intended as a connection point for members, the main level will be dedicated to recovery and wellness. A Finnish sauna, cold plunge, and hydromassage are some of the highlights. The gym also will include a med spa, member lounge, and bar serving smoothies, pre/post-workout drinks, beer, and wine. On the lower level, members will find free weights and life-fitness equipment from Gym80, a specialized German line of strength equipment. Gym80 Cardio machines, a group HITT studio, and a stretching area will be located on the top floor.
Henry’s will feature reclaimed wood for most decorative finishes, including 118-year-old internal doors sourced from an old seminary. The space’s overall design will celebrate Capitol Hill, known as a vibrant counterculture district with a thriving LGBTQ population. Spanning the interior will be a curated art collection including pieces commissioned through local graffiti artists to reflect the broad cross-section of cultures represented at the gym. A dedication to the 1960s-era Stonewall riots and paying homage to Harvey Milk within the space through art are part of the plans to honor the local community. As with the gym’s first location, Henry’s also will partner with nonprofits in the area.
Asana Partners completed a significant overhaul of the 15k sf former garage in 2023. Led by Graham Baba Architects, the $6.2 mil adaptive reuse project preserved much of the building’s original components and materials while upgrading and equipping the space. Still recognizable as part of Seattle’s original Pike/Pine Auto Row, today the Boylston Garage offers tons of natural light, exposed timber trusses, and some 18-foot ceilings alongside modern amenities and finishes.
