Which Fitness Classes Should You Try at One Playground Chatswood?

With so many ways to train, how do you decide which fitness classes are right for you?

Whether your goal is to build muscle, improve your fitness, increase flexibility or find a better balance between training and recovery, different types of exercise offer different benefits.

At One Playground Chatswood, opening in early 2027, you'll have access to strength and conditioning, HIIT, Reformer Pilates, yoga and Mat Pilates across five dedicated studio spaces.

Here's how to find the classes that best suit your goals.

For Building Muscle and Strength

If getting stronger is your priority, resistance training should form a key part of your routine.

At Chatswood, the Force studio offers structured strength and conditioning classes built around progressive programming. Over a 12-week training cycle, you'll work on developing strength, improving technique and building on your performance week after week.

Alternatively, the Pulse studio combines strength-focused workouts with higher-intensity training. With individual workstations, dynamic lighting and expertly programmed sessions, it's ideal for anyone who enjoys an energetic training environment.

Both offer effective ways to develop strength, with different approaches to programming and intensity.

For Improving Cardiovascular Fitness

Looking to build endurance, challenge your fitness or introduce more intensity into your training?

Pulse offers a combination of HIIT and strength-based classes, making it a great option for those who want to work on their cardiovascular fitness alongside muscular endurance.

High-intensity interval training alternates periods of harder effort with recovery, challenging your cardiovascular system while keeping workouts time-efficient.

It's also worth remembering that cardiovascular fitness doesn't have to come exclusively from HIIT. Combining higher-intensity sessions with lower-intensity activity can help you develop a more well-rounded fitness base.

For Low-Impact, Full-Body Strength

If you want to develop strength without relying on heavy weights or high-impact movements, Reformer Pilates is worth exploring.

Chatswood will feature two dedicated Reformer Pilates studios, offering a range of classes designed for different experience levels and training goals.

From foundational classes focused on technique to more challenging strength and athletic formats, Reformer Pilates uses spring resistance to develop muscular strength, stability, coordination and control.

It's a great standalone workout, but also works well alongside gym-based strength training.

For Flexibility, Mobility and Mindful Movement

Strength and cardiovascular fitness are important, but so is the ability to move comfortably through a full range of motion.

Chatswood's Motion studio will bring together Mat Pilates, yoga and restorative movement.

Mat Pilates focuses on core strength, stability and controlled movement, while yoga offers opportunities to improve flexibility, balance and body awareness.

These classes can be particularly valuable if you spend long hours sitting, feel restricted in certain movements or simply want to introduce a different pace into your training week.

Do You Need to Choose Just One?

Not at all. In fact, combining different types of training can help you develop strength, cardiovascular fitness, mobility and muscular endurance without relying on the same workout every day.

A balanced week might include two strength sessions in Force, a Reformer Pilates class, a Pulse workout and a yoga session in Motion.

The right combination will depend on your experience, goals and recovery needs, but having different class styles available makes it easier to build a routine that works for you.
