The building has two distinct halves: One part looks like a home, and the other half is still a gym.

The building is now split into two distinct halves: One half still looks and feels like a gym, replete with bleachers and high ceilings. The other half, which is behind the mustard-colored wall in the photo below, looks and feels like a home, with segmented rooms and two levels.
