Now Open: F2 Collective Is East Brunswick Village's New Pilates Studio with Distraction-Free Workouts and Disco-Ball Sessions
Sweat it up like you're in a nightclub, with this brand-new pilates studio combining fun with fitness.
Looking for a top-quality mind-body experience? F2 Collective has landed in Brunswick East, bringing a boutique approach to pilates. Building upon the exercise's core foundations, expect an upbeat and more fitness-focused schedule that equals extra moving and shaking in every session. Founded by Janelle Williamson, she traded in her decade-long corporate gig on New York's advertising scene to follow her passion into the world of fitness.
Designed in collaboration with her architect partner Aaron, F2 Collective is no stock-standard pilates experience. Together, they've shaped Janelle's dream workout studio, featuring moody, ambient lighting that removes distractions and builds self-confidence. Combined with fun-loving playlists and a disco ball in every studio, who said working out can't be fun?
F2 Collective has two styles of classes: reformer pilates and mat pilates + TRX. With each offering state-of-the-art equipment and a range of exercises, expect to build strength, balance and endurance in no time. As the vibe picks up, the dimly lit space is intended to make it easier to get swept up in your workout.
Alongside area-focused sessions dedicated to individual muscle groups, themed music classes take place every week, ranging from pop diva battles to soundtracked Fridays that put the disco ball through its paces. Best of all, there's a class for every fitness level, so getting started or pushing ahead with your exercise goals won't feel so intimidating.
Once your workout is done, the post-class experience rises above most. There are complimentary eucalyptus-scented cooldown towels to leave you feeling refreshed, as well as herbal tea and sparkling water on the house. Plus, pristine shower facilities are stocked with Eleven body care products, while a vanity room features Dyson hair tools, perfect for early morning workouts.
Situated amid the East Brunswick Village, there's also no shortage of entertainment and dining spots perfect for hanging out before or after your class. Snag a coffee and New York-style bagel at Bellboy Cafe, slide into Bridge Road Brewers for a meal or catch a classic flick at Fomo Cinemas.
F2 Collective is open Monday–Thursday from 6am–8.30pm, Friday from 6am–7.30pm and Saturday–Sunday from 8am–3pm at Suite 105/6 Bluestone Way, Brunswick East. Head to the website for more information.
