Overview
Upstate's pace isn't letting up, with its brand of high-octane fitness studios ready to debut in Sydney. Having swept Melbourne by storm over the last 15 years, Upstate recently launched its first interstate location in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. Now, Sydneysiders are invited to discover this cult-favourite pilates hub, renowned for its bold, bright and upbeat approach to movement — and the studio is celebrating its opening with free classes all weekend.
Touching down in Five Dock on Saturday, September 20, this buzzing Great North Road location is more than just a place to get a solid workout in. Featuring vivid interiors, community-fuelled energy and fitness classes that ensure each session gives you a full-body burn, bringing new vibes to your next sweat session is made easy.
Inside the new two-room studio, expect Upstate's signature Hot Mat Room and a dedicated Reformer Pilates space, where a full schedule of classes delivers the dynamic movement guests crave. Choose from Hot Mat Pilates, Hot Power Yoga or Reformer Pilates when amping up, then wind down with restorative classes like Yin and Sound Bath Meditation. Keen to experience the new space? We've got two unlimited three-month memberships to give away to readers.
"Five Dock has this amazing mix of local charm and energetic pace — it's a perfect match for our brand," says Upstate Co-Founder and Co-CEO Gail Asbell. "We're thrilled to continue Upstate's journey into Sydney with a studio that reflects everything we stand for: positivity, movement, and connection."
Slotting into Five Dock's leafy streets, the latest Upstate location is also set within touching distance of top-notch cafes and lush waterfront havens. This way, getting a pre- or post-workout coffee and snack is but a few steps away. Like most of the brand's studios, it's all about combining fitness with a vibrant lifestyle-driven ethos.
"As with every Upstate space, the Five Dock studio has been created to feel empowering, inclusive, and high-vibe," says Asbell. "It's an exciting step forward in our growth, while staying true to our mission of uplifting and energising through movement."
Upstate Five Dock will open on Saturday, September 20, at 156 Great North Road, Sydney, and will offer free classes from September 20–21. Visit the website for more information and enter to win a three-month membership.
