Former Miami nightlife don opens gym and spa center

Former Miami nightlife don Chris Paciello is now firmly in the fitness business.

The one-time owner of South Beach clubs Liquid and Story will open a gym and spa center, called Anatomy at 1220, in Miami’s Sunset Harbor area in September.

Paciello describes the modern-designed facility as the “Soho House or Casa Tua of gyms,” which includes a full-service spa offering oxygen chambers, a barber shop and vitamin IV treatments via Paciello’s other health business, VitaSquad.

Paciello, who’s been linked to hardbodies Madonna, Sofía Vergara and Niki Taylor, opened Story in 2012, but was bought out earlier this year.

He launched VitaSquad with Dr. Jesse Sandhu in December and recently licensed the brand to music DJ Luciano to open a branch in Ibiza.
