Overview
Pumping iron in a dark, dank basement simply doesn't cut it for many anymore. That's why 'superboutique' gyms like One Playground are on the rise. Having just launched a brand new flagship location in Haymarket, this cutting-edge gym will help usher in a fresh era of fitness, where next-level design and luxurious wellness spaces foster an unbeatable workout.
Spanning an incredible 2,600 square metres across three levels, expect elevated design from top to bottom. As the fifth One Playground location since the brand arrived on the scene in 2014, this gym is the most impressive yet. Best of all, the premium facilities and high-end aesthetics are still available at an accessible price.
"The goal was never to build another gym – it was to create a fitness experience unlike anything else in the world," says One Playground Co-Founder and CEO Justin Ashley. "We pushed the boundaries with an ambitious design that blurs the line between fitness and fashion, while giving members everything they could ever wish for – in one place, with one membership."
Ambitious design almost undersells it; the foyer alone welcomes gym-goers with triple-height ceilings, marble floors and a sweeping gold staircase. Meanwhile, designer furnishings make it easy to chill before, during or after your workout. On the second level, a wellness lounge features T2 tea, sparkling water and intimate seating areas, while dynamic lighting in the corridors guides guests to the upper level where the action takes place.
Here, there are multiple high-performance strength and cardio zones filled with state-of-the-art gym equipment, including 50 pin-and-plate loaded machines. Meanwhile, five futuristic fitness studios have dedicated space for various workouts, from rejuvenating yoga to high-intensity spin classes. For those keen to work with a personal trainer, the in-house coaches undergo 200 hours of annual training with the company's private academy, so trust you're getting an informed workout.
When you're keen to mix things up, there are over 200 group classes on the schedule every week, so keeping your body and mind fresh is made easy. Then, once you've finished smashing your workout for the day, members are welcome to relax with a complimentary sauna or get a little work done in the lounge. With options for every fitness journey, checking out this flagship gym might just be the motivation you need to reach your fitness goals.
One Playground Haymarket is now open at 815 George Street, Haymarket. Head to the website for more information.
