Our mission is to Inspire Change

What are we?

One Playground is a new kind of gym, a ‘superboutique’.
We offer complete access to a diverse range of fitness and wellness experiences, all under one roof for one affordable membership.

Enjoy world-class facilities, coaches and equipment that will transform your body and mind.

Join us and discover the new standard in fitness and wellness.

What does “Inspire Change” mean?

For our members, it means creating unique environments and experiences that empower them to achieve real results with their memberships.

For our team, we hire Great Humans and enable them to pursue fulfilling, successful and impactful careers that make a difference in people’s lives.

Our origin story

Our business started as a small bootcamp in Surry Hills. We used to wake up at 5am, take our equipment down to the park, unpack the boot and set up for the morning’s sessions. It was basic. It was raw. It was humble. But our community members loved it.

After spending years working in big gyms that spent millions of dollars on equipment but not really on the member experience, it made me think; what really matters to members? Equipment? Facilities? Sure, but what matters most is the people. This focus on our people has driven us to have thousands of satisfied members and hundreds of happy, successful staff.

Our company values are to be the #1 One Team with #2 Great Humans, who #3 Get Better Every Day, by #4 Mastering Our Craft so we can #5 Design the Future and, most importantly #6 Do Cool Sh*t!

We think big, but stick to our roots to make sure our members are more than a number.

Before you start, here is my advice: try something different. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Say hello to our friendly team and other members. Most importantly, ask for help. That’s what we’re here for.
