ABOUT TMPL WEST VILLAGE:
A disruptor and visionary within the fitness industry, David Barton reinvented his empire with the 2016 debut of TMPL Gym and has overseen design, curated the brand, and assembled a team of industry-leading talent in the fitness and nightclub industries for the launch of TMPL West Village. TMPL West Village fuses innovation and luxury for an intelligent approach to fitness that is effective and addictive.
