Studio 99 Fitness Centre

Studio 99 Fitness Centre is a community-focused gym in West End, Brisbane, built for people who want support with getting started, improving their health or building strength. The venue also has locations in Milton and East Brisbane, giving members options across Brisbane’s inner suburbs.

Every new member begins with a complimentary induction session with an experienced team member. This includes a basic movement and capacity assessment, which helps the gym recommend classes and services suited to the individual. That approach may appeal to people who feel stuck, lack motivation or are unsure how to begin, as well as those looking for more purposeful training rather than simply exercising without a plan.

Studio 99 says its West End gym has grown into a 1,000-square-metre fitness centre with 14 specialised trainers and more than 400 clients. Its stated focus is on inclusiveness, community and evidence-based training, with a timetable and environment intended to accommodate people of different ages and backgrounds. The team aims to know members by name and understand both their challenges and strengths, creating a more personal setting than a purely self-directed gym.

Established in Brisbane’s West End community 12 years ago, Studio 99 was founded by Blake McClennan and Matthew Tranter, who connected through their shared interest in football and combined their fitness knowledge to create the gym. Timothy Douge later joined the founding team as another health expert. The result is a locally established fitness centre suited to solo members seeking guidance, people returning to exercise and anyone looking for a more community-minded place to train. An introductory session is the clearest way to understand which classes or services may fit your needs.
