Redefining boutique fitness, Power Moves is more than just a Pilates studio.

Boutique wellness studio Pilates Place has officially opened the doors to its second location in the Yerongpilly Green Village complex. 

Following the stunning expansion to TotalFusion Platinum in Newstead, their Chermside location is set to get the same treatment. 

With locations across Queensland and NSW, EMF has been making waves in the health and fitness world thanks to their mega wellness hubs, which combine everything from gym equipment and group classes to contrast therapy, meditation rooms and co-working spaces. While south and northsiders have been able to experience their performance centres for a while now at Springfield, North Lakes, Browns Plains and Mango Hill, city workers can also now achieve peak wellness with a brand new mega fitness centre arriving in the CBD. 

A cult favourite in Victoria, CorePlus has made its way north, opening its first interstate location in West End. This pilates, reformer and yoga studio offers both heated and non-heated classes with a heap of options to choose from, whether you want a slow, mindful practice or an intense cardio session. 

So you’ve got the gym routine downpat—but what about the rest of the elements of a healthy lifestyle?
