Anytime Fitness will open a Sydney Airport gym at T1 International on 11 March 2026, marking Australia’s first-ever airport gym and offering 24/7 fitness access for travellers and airport staff.
The 300sqm, 24/7 fitness club at Sydney Airport’s T1 International arrivals area will bring accessibility to Australia’s busiest hub, serving more than 40 million travellers and 30,000 airport staff annually.
Designed with travellers in mind and open to Anytime Fitness members, the two-level club will feature functional training zones, Life Fitness and Hammer Strength equipment, two lifting platforms, plus showers and amenities to support pre- and post-flight routines.
Anytime Fitness trainers have also developed three new ‘Fit to Fly‘ movement programs, spanning pre-flight workouts, inflight seat-based exercises and post-flight recovery.
Whether it’s a quick pre‑flight workout or a post‑shift reset, the club is designed to support members through long flights, early starts and demanding shifts, addressing wellbeing needs such as stiffness, circulation, stress and sleep.
Anytime Fitness Australia Managing Director Simon Thompson said the opening of the Sydney Airport club underlines the brand’s “anytime, anywhere” promise.
“The launch of our club at Sydney Airport reflects our strategic commitment to delivering accessible fitness solutions wherever our members live, work and travel,” he said.
“We’re proud to support travellers and airport teams with a space designed to move, recharge and prioritise wellbeing. This initiative represents a significant milestone for our brand and the broader fitness industry, setting a new benchmark for convenience-led fitness.”
Sydney Airport gym adds to the T1 retail mix
Sydney Airport General Manager Retail Gail Taylor said the new gym will enhance the traveller experience and support the airport workforce, alongside a new barber and nail salon in the T1 International area.
The Barber’s Lounge is now open, while ProfessioNail will open by the end of Q3, offering grooming and beauty services for travellers on the go.
“The new Anytime Fitness Sydney Airport club provides travellers and airport workers with a convenient, purpose‑built space to prioritise their wellbeing within T1 International Arrivals,” she said.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to elevating the airport experience by creating a destination focused on movement, recovery and convenience.”
KARRYON UNPACKS: The new Sydney Airport gym reflects a wider evolution in airport retail, where wellness joins dining and luxury as a key differentiator, particularly for corporate travellers and frequent flyers. For advisors, it’s another talking point for premium and long-haul travellers seeking comfort and wellbeing options during extended transit times.
