About 23W Essendon
23W Essendon is a women-focused strength and Pilates studio on Mt Alexander Road, built around small-group coaching and a genuine sense of community. Members describe an environment that is high-energy, supportive and welcoming, where coaches challenge them while offering plenty of variations so everyone can train at their own level.
The studio blends progressive group strength work with Pilates, and runs dedicated postpartum sessions for new mums, reflecting a strong emphasis on meeting women where they are. Coaches are warm, professional and constantly progress the programming so members stay challenged week to week without feeling left behind.
A standout feature is the shared-care nanny service, which lets parents get to a session even on days they have the kids in tow. Combined with knowledgeable, caring coaching and a positive vibe, 23W Essendon suits women who want structured, expertly guided training in a friendly studio that makes showing up easy and removes the usual barriers to staying consistent.
