I came looking for a gym, but this place greeted me with a café first. The stairs were carpeted, and I could hear quiet practice sounds upstairs. When I went down to the basement, a training space with a completely different vibe appeared.

Ulluru House spans from the basement to the 3rd floor, with each floor serving a different role, but all tied together under one name. Coach Eun Dahye, the head of Ulluru Training,

Let's take a look at Ululu House together.

A place that greets you with coffee aroma before the gym

The moment I walked in, the first thing I noticed was the smell of coffee. The stairs were carpeted, and quiet practice sounds drifted from upstairs. Only when I headed down to the basement did the training space appear. Ululu House is a wellness complex where the basement training area, the first-floor café, and the 2nd and 3rd-floor yoga studio are all connected under one brand. I found myself wondering why a place like this hadn’t existed sooner.

Not relying on machines

Once you step into the basement, the space catches your eye first. Open floor, free weights, and people moving together. Instead of following the path of machines, it’s a place that trains the movement of your own body itself. Building a body that moves well in any environment—that’s the direction Ululu Training is aiming for.

A different class waits every day

The classes change by day of the week. There’s Hybrid, which pushes your body hard; Build Up, which strengthens the basics of movement; Recovery, which works out built-up fatigue; and Unity on weekends, where you team up and finish together. The cycle of going hard, building fundamentals, and recovering fits together naturally.

With a different stimulus waiting each day, you don’t even have to think about what to do today. That feeling of exercise becoming part of your daily rhythm starts at Ululu .

Training downstairs, yoga upstairs

What makes Ululu Training most different from other group training centers in Seoul is that there’s a yoga studio in the same building.

In fact, yoga instructors come down to the basement for training, and training members head upstairs to practice yoga. You need solid strength for yoga poses to feel stable, and you need flexibility to expand your range of motion in training.

It’s a setup that lets you get both in one building. Not competition, but complementing each other—that’s why Ululu puts these two spaces under the same roof.

Start and finish at Ulluru

Before class, I start the day with a cup of coffee at the first-floor café. After class, I cool down and catch my breath in the same spot. It feels like the whole day is naturally built around exercise. A place that designs your daily rhythm too is rarer than you’d think. Ululu House holds that entire flow inside one building.
