The Gym-Bar Hybrid: Interiors That Integrate Sports and Healthy Habits Through Architecture
Briefly

Contemporary architecture in sports facilities and wellness spaces is evolving to merge different uses, installations, and materials. Designers aim to create environments that enhance athletic experiences beyond physical exertion, emphasizing psychological benefits that connect mind and body. Each sport necessitates unique architectural features to cater to specific activities. Significant insights reveal that exercise impacts mental well-being, boosting confidence and intellectual capacity, while helping manage psychological issues like depression and anxiety. The focus is not only on physical health but also on the psychological state before, during, and after exercise.
"there is a psychological state that one reaches before, during, and after exercising. Upon entering the gym, you're still in public mode, the 'self' that is presented to the world. This is the phase in which the moment is built."
Various studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of physical activity, its regular practice is known to increase self-confidence, a sense of well-being, and improve intellectual functioning, beyond its effectiveness in treating psychological disorders such as depression, stress, or anxiety, among others.
