The Hive Burleigh

The Hive Burleigh is a women-only fitness and wellness studio serving the Burleigh area of the Gold Coast. Its approach brings several parts of a training routine together under one roof: instructor-led Reformer Pilates, HiveX strength sessions, recovery treatments, massage therapy, personal development coaching and nutrition workshops. The studio says all levels are welcome, with coaches supporting members whether they are new to lifting or already training regularly.

Reformer Pilates is offered in small groups on 16 custom reformers, with sessions focused on strength and posture. HiveX is a coached strength format using equipment including Olympic bars, a ski erg, rower and battle ropes. The training space covers 422 square metres, and the studio emphasises hands-on instruction, movement correction and classes where members are not lost in a crowd. For those wanting to add recovery to their routine, the centre includes an infrared sauna, ice bath and red light therapy. Kahuna and relaxation massage are also available.

The recovery area has been designed as more than a purely functional space, with the website describing an antique chandelier, a three-metre fig tree and white river stones. That gives the venue a distinct setting for winding down after training. New members can try The Hive Experience, which includes an InBody scan, three classes and one full recovery session for $99. The three sessions include Reformer Pilates, HiveX Strength and a third class of choice, with the package designed for beginners as well as women comparing studios before committing. Sessions must be completed within 10 days of purchase.

The Hive was founded by Michelle and Marina, friends of more than a decade with backgrounds spanning fitness, design, marketing and personal development. Their stated aim was to create the kind of women-focused space they felt was missing: somewhere members could train, recover and build confidence alongside a supportive community. It may suit women looking for structured coaching, a small-group environment or a broader routine than a standard gym provides. Solo visitors can start with the introductory experience, while groups of friends can attend classes together. Families may also find the Kids Club useful, with care available for children from six weeks to 12 years at an additional cost from $7 per session.
