About the Company
- Starting from humble beginnings as a small bootcamp in Surry Hills, today we are a national brand on a mission to “Inspire Change” in the global fitness industry.
- In March 2023, Fitness Playground became One Playground, representing our move beyond fitness and aesthetics to become an all-encompassing playground for health and fitness.
- Coaching sits at the heart of that mission, and it’s why we built One Coach: our dedicated coaching brand and the engine behind the results our members come to us for.
- We believe that Gyms must get better at taking care of their members. Our philosophy is “If we take care of our staff, they will take care of our members”.
- This philosophy has been a critical driver of One Playground's growth and our people's development over the past 12 years.
- It has led us to grow to a team of over 450+ across 8 locations, and we are proud to be consistently recognised as one of Australia's best places to work.
- Our accolades include being rated Top 50 Places to Work in Australia, 2019 & 2020 Employer of Choice Award, AFR Best Places to Work, 2021, FITSummit Boutique of the Year 2022 and 2023, and 2024 ABA100® Winner for Training Excellence.
- At One Playground, we are committed to creating the best gyms, not the most gyms.
- We are a new kind of gym, a ‘super-boutique’, giving members complete access to a ‘one-stop-shop’ of fitness and wellness.
- Our mission is to defy expectations by offering award-winning designs, fostering connected communities, providing a wide range of classes, and employing exceptional individuals who are passionate about what they do.
- Alongside our purpose to “Inspire Change”, One Playground has a strong set of 6 core values.
- We are “One Team”, of “Great Humans”, who get “Better Every Day”, working on “Mastering Our Craft”, so we can “Design the Future” and, most importantly, “Do Cool Sh*t!”
