We are STRONG. Pilates. Strength. Cardio. A full-body workout that's low impact and high intensity.

ROBUST Wollongong is coming! We're hiring our founding Studio Manager.

Our brand-new Wollongong studio opens in February 2027, and we're looking for someone exceptional to lead it from day one.

We're looking for someone who can lead from the front, drive sales and performance, manage a team and deliver an exceptional member experience.

High standards, high expectations and high accountability. That's the baseline.
