Our Story
A Pivot. A Purpose. A Movement.
The Station Pilates was born out of a moment of change — and a whole lot of heart.
In 2020, we opened as Aktivliving, a yoga studio navigating the challenges of a post-COVID world. But as everything shifted, so did the needs of our community. People were no longer looking for just one modality — they were craving movement that felt good, felt inclusive, and gave them the freedom to move their way.
So we pivoted — and The Station Pilates was born.
From the very beginning, our mission has been clear:
Every BODY deserves to move.
We set out to create studios that feel welcoming, uplifting, and empowering. Where people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels can reconnect with movement in a way that fits their life, their body, and their energy.
No intimidating fitness culture.
No one-size-fits-all programming.
Just powerful, community-led movement — your way.
As we grew, so did our purpose. Today, The Station Pilates is:
Queensland-born, female-led, and family-driven
A network of eight unique studios, each bespoke to its local community
The first instructor-led Pilates franchise in Queensland, with a mission to expand across Australia and maybe the world.
Whether a studio offers Reformer only, or a full wellness hub with Mat, Yoga, and Rituals — no two are the same. That’s the Station difference. We adapt to our environment, just like we always have.
Because when we say every BODY deserves to move, we mean it.
And when you build a space where people feel welcome, empowered, and supported — something truly special happens.
This is our story.
Now it’s time to create yours.
