FOUND is a female-focussed fitness studio dedicated to professional women who want to feel attuned, empowered and grounded.
Perform at your best and be present in other important areas of life.
We believe exercise isn’t just about looking good - it's about creating a body and mind that can thrive in the life you want to live.
Our workouts not only strengthen your body, but focus your mind and restore your nervous system. By incorporating psychology and neuroscience techniques, we help you achieve a sense of calm confidence that extends beyond our studio walls.
MEET THE TEAM
At FOUND, we’re a small, loving team dedicated to helping women build strength, resilience, and connection.
Michaela, a former professional dancer, always has a smile on her face and happy vibes to the studio. Her love of lifting heavy things proves that dynamite comes in small packages!
Shannon, with her background in yoga, love for strength training, and new passion for pilates is the perfect example of the balance we like to strike at FOUND.
Leading the way is Nikkita, our founder, who combines 17 years of experience as a personal trainer and 5 years as a psychotherapist. Nikkita not only designs transformative mind & body programmes for our members but also manages much of the behind-the-scenes work that keeps FOUND running smoothly.
A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Hey! I’m Nikkita, personal trainer, psychotherapist and Founder of FOUND, and I understand the internal struggle so many women experience…
I spent much of my life worrying about my body and when I became a personal trainer in 2008, I realised I wasn’t alone. My clients; brilliant, ambitious, hard-working women seemed to have the same invisible battle going on in their heads too.
The familiar anguish about calories, body size and never feeling good enough. No matter their age or external success, an ever present list of insecurities sucked joy from their lives.
So, over the course of more than a decade, I went to therapy, studied psychology & counselling, and became a therapist specialising in body image, disordered eating and trauma.
HERE’S WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE
You can’t out train a critical brain nor feel good in a body you neglect.
You need to take care of both, because how we treat ourselves (not our dress size) is the key to unlocking our full potential.
AND SO FOUND WAS BORN
A sanctuary combining neuroscience, psychology and small group training to revolutionise the way women workout.
connect with yourself & other like-minded women
respect your body, no matter what stage or age you’re at
believe in your own power and capacity to change
Come as you are,
leave feeling more like yourself…

ABOUT THE STUDIO
Life’s demands are loud. We don’t add to the noise.
Being in the FOUND studio is a sensory experience. Designed to make you feel calm, supported and cared for.
Each alcove is equipped with a locker containing all you need for the class ahead. They're also uniquely designed so you can’t see your neighbours. This way, you get the benefit of working out in a group without having to compare yourself to anyone else.
Along with a minimal design, we’ve incorporated the calming energy of nature by using beautiful, breathable Atelier Ellis paint, opulent oak Trunk floors, and carefully selected Porter marble.
In our attention to detail, we hope you feel what we so believe to be true : you are worth the effort.
If you’ve made it this far, your future Self wants to be
