Anytime Fitness Offices – Sydney
Cachet Group transformed an underutilized basement into Anytime Fitness offices in Sydney, crafting a dynamic training hub that fosters collaboration, learning, and engagement through innovative design and improved functionality.
When Collective Wellness, the parent company of Anytime Fitness, decided to repurpose an underutilised gym within their workplace, the ambition extended beyond a simple refurbishment. The brief was to transform a dark basement fitness space into a functional training hub that could support learning, collaboration, and connection for their internal teams.
Originally operating as a traditional gym, the basement presented a number of challenges. The space had been fully sprayed in black and suffered from limited natural light and constrained ventilation, creating an environment that felt enclosed and heavy. Reimagining it as a welcoming training environment required a fundamental rethink of both the spatial layout and the building services.
Before construction could begin, several technical constraints needed to be addressed. Ventilation and air circulation were improved through the introduction of new ductwork routed from the basement through to the Level 1 workspace above. These services were carefully integrated and concealed within the upper level, allowing the system upgrades to function effectively without disrupting the clarity of the workplace above.
At the centre of the new environment is a purpose-built auditorium designed for group learning and presentations. Custom joinery forms tiered seating, creating a focal point that encourages engagement and shared discussion. From here, the space transitions naturally into adjacent breakout areas and a boardroom, allowing the hub to flex between structured training sessions, collaborative workshops, and informal team conversations.
The completed space now operates as a dedicated training destination within the workplace – distinct from the daily activity of the office above, yet still connected to the broader environment. What was once a dark, single-purpose gym has been transformed into a light, adaptable setting that supports how the team learns, gathers, and works together.
