Own a Studio
Our Humble Beginning
The Station Pilates was born out of change - and a whole lot of heart.
In 2020, we launched as Aktivliving, a yoga studio navigating the realities of a post-COVID world. But as the world shifted, so did the needs of our community. People were craving movement that felt good, felt inclusive, and gave them the freedom to move their way.
So, we did what we’re known for - we pivoted.
And from that pivot, The Station Pilates was created.
A space where movement is for every BODY - where you can move your way, at your own pace, in your own form.
We’ve reimagined what a Pilates studio can be:
Inclusive, not intimidating.
Bespoke, not cookie-cutter.
Grounded in community, not just routines.
Every studio is uniquely designed to reflect its local community, but we’re all united by one belief - that movement should be fun, welcoming, and empowering.
Today, we’re proud to be a Queensland-born, female-founded brand and the first instructor-led Pilates franchise born in Queensland. With eight studios and growing, we’re on a mission to make movement inclusive - and more fun - right across Australia.
Because when you give people the chance to move their way, incredible things happen.
