Gallery: F2 Collective x Broadsheet Access Wellness Day

Broadsheet Access brings the best in wellness to our members with one-off active events and recovery days, previews of soon-to-open studios, discounts on activewear and more. Recently, Access members experienced a free wellness day at F2 Collective – a cosily glam Pilates space in Brunswick East.

For F2 founder Janelle Williamson, who oversaw the studio fit-out with architect husband Aaron Williamson, the nightclub-coded design – including a dark palette and moody lighting – is about more than aesthetics.

“When you think about it in the nightclub sense, there is a reason why you’re dancing under the disco ball,” she says. “You kind of let go a little bit and let yourself move to the music. We wanted to bring that same energy into the classes, so people could vibe while they’re also working out.” 

Access members got to experience the vibes through two classes on the day – a reformer session, plus F2’s signature mat Pilates with TRX suspension trainers (for stability, core and bodyweight exercises).

Afterwards, guests enjoyed “sondwishes” from The Rocket Society, cold-pressed juices from Bellboy, an LSKD pop-up (with 15 per cent off normal retail prices), and free wellness goodies from Frank Body skincare, Health Lab snacks, Move Active Pilates accessories and Mindful Foods.

Members who attended the wellness day said the space’s nightclub glow paired surprisingly well with their workout glow. They were also fans of the Get Ready change room, equipped with Dyson styling accessories, sanitary products and tea.
