Prime Athletica - Fitzroy

Prime Athletica - Fitzroy is a fitness studio for people who want structured training without the usual big-gym atmosphere. The studio offers seven different classes designed for a range of fitness levels, from slower-paced strength work to higher-intensity sessions such as HIIT. Classes are capped at 15 people, giving trainers room to pay attention to individual movement, form and technique rather than leaving members to navigate everything alone.

The Fitzroy studio is on Spring Street in a heritage-listed warehouse. Prime says the space was designed with cleanliness, comfort and room to move in mind, with separate areas for gym training and classes, well-maintained equipment, and renovated bathrooms and showers. It sounds suited to someone who values a considered, manageable training environment over the scale and bustle of a large commercial gym.

Personal training is also available for those who prefer to work at their own pace or have more specific goals. The trainers tailor sessions to individual needs, whether that means building confidence, improving strength, working on mobility and movement, or creating a more sustainable routine. The team includes coaches with backgrounds in strength training, exercise science, sport and nutrition, and the studio’s trainer profiles place a strong emphasis on technique, education, accountability and helping people feel more capable.

Prime Athletica was founded by Tash Khoury and Lukas Pashalidis, both long-time personal trainers who wanted to create a more positive fitness culture. Their approach is reflected in the studio’s focus on making newcomers feel comfortable, including people who have not previously enjoyed gyms or exercise. That makes Prime a practical option for beginners, experienced lifters, solo members and anyone looking for coaching within a friendly movement community. There are memberships for different levels of attendance, casual rates, no lock-in contracts or minimum terms, and a free session is available if you want to try a class or complete your own workout before committing.
