We are thrilled to share some wonderful news with our community. Inna Essence has been announced as a finalist in the 2026 AUSactive National Awards Program — not once, but twice.
Our studio is a finalist for Independent Business of the Year, and our Co-Founder, Andrea Creighton, is a finalist for Pilates Professional of the Year. To be recognised on a national stage in both categories is an incredible honour, and one we share with every single member who walks through our doors.
A studio built on care
Inna Essence is a boutique Pilates, Reformer, Yoga, and Barre studio known for exceptional client care and personalised programming. As Queensland’s only STOTT PILATES Academy Partner, we offer accredited education and proudly help shape the next generation of instructors.
Despite a challenging few years for small businesses, our community has continued to grow — through consistent membership growth, strong retention, and more than 330 five-star reviews from the women and men who make this studio what it is. This nomination is a reflection of that community as much as it is of our team.
Leading with heart
Andrea’s recognition as a finalist for Pilates Professional of the Year follows her leadership of the 2025 AUSactive Pilates Business of the Year. Her dedication to excellence in technique, safety, and inclusive movement sits at the heart of everything we do — and continues to make a lasting impact through innovative programming and exceptional client outcomes.
Thank you
These nominations belong to you, our members. Thank you for trusting us with your wellbeing, for showing up for yourselves, and for being part of a community that celebrates movement at every age and stage of life.
Here’s to continuing the journey together.
