THE FOUNDERS: Lee Mullins & Hani Farsi
The story of Workshop Gymnasium is about more than just one person. It’s the story of a dedicated partnership and a commitment to a luxury, new global health experience.
Hani Farsi is a committed philanthropist and successful entrepreneur in the entertainment and hospitality industries. Lee Mullins is a personal trainer and one of the most sought after health professionals in the world for his expert training methods. The two first began training together in 2010, and in 2014 they decided to intertwine their expertise to create something different in the fitness landscape; it was from this that Workshop was born.
The duo initially started their enterprise in London’s Knightsbridge, with their first gymnasium appearing in residency within the prestigious Bulgari Hotel. Following a number of accolades they expanded their partnership with the luxury group, launching their second location in the Bulgari Hotel, Milan in 2016.
Thanks to the instant success of their brand, this relationship has continued to grow, with further outposts in Bali, Dubai, Beijing, Shanghai, Paris, Tokyo and Rome.
Today, Workshop is a global brand and one of the fastest growing luxury health and lifestyle companies in the world, with global locations alongside a range of nutritional supplements, fitness accessories and apparel.
