One Playground
Fitness Playground Becomes One Playground. Becoming One Playground represents our move beyond just fitness, and beyond aesthetics, to become an all-encompassing Playground for all things health and wellness. Our vision is to reimagine the design of a gym, and provide everything under one roof, for one affordable membership. We create environments that inspire, classes that excite, and recruit people that make you feel at home. Welcome to One Playground. Our Mission is to Inspire Change. For members, fitness professionals, and the industry as a whole. Our focus is our people. We provide great experiences for our staff, so they provide great experiences for our members. Which is why we’ve been recognised with so many top employer awards, including: - Employer of Choice 2021, 2020 & 2019 - AFR Boss Best Places to Work List 2021 - WRK+ Best Places to Work Award 2021 - Great Places to Work 2020 Co-founders Justin Ashley & Serra Burmin took the title of Australia Young Entrepreneurs of the Year in 2021. Our gyms are very cool places to work – we’ve been awarded ‘Best Gym’ by Men’s Health in both Sydney & Darwin. Have you seen the new Newtown One Playground? We focus on recruiting Great Humans, meaning our recruitment is based on personality and culture fit over qualifications and experience. We support our team from the moment they start. We do this by providing our staff with over 200 hours of free, in-house education each year and access to industry experts to make them great at what they do. And we reward our staff, because awesome humans deserve to be recognised. All of this helps create our unique culture. We are one of a kind. We work, train and play together. If you are a Great Human who is passionate about changing the gym experience and inspiring others, then we would love to hear from you!
