The Closest Professional Gym to Sunnybank, Salisbury and Acacia Ridge

If you live in Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills, Salisbury, Acacia Ridge or anywhere along Brisbane’s southern corridor, you’re in one of the most densely populated training catchments in Queensland. You’re also in an area where premium gym options have historically been hard to find.

Evolution 24/7 in Coopers Plains changed that.

How Close Is It?

The gym is located at Unit 4, 839 Boundary Road, Coopers Plains QLD 4108 — at the corner of Boundary Road and Beaudesert Road. Travel times from surrounding suburbs:

  • Sunnybank and Sunnybank Hills — approximately 5 minutes via Mains Road or Beaudesert Road
  • Acacia Ridge and Salisbury — directly off Beaudesert Road, under 5 minutes
  • Robertson and Moorooka — easy access via Boundary Road, 5–8 minutes
  • Nathan and Runcorn — 8–10 minutes via Mains Road or Illaweena Street
  • Rocklea and Archerfield — 5 minutes via Sherbrooke Road
  • Eight Mile Plains and Macgregor — 10–12 minutes via Underwood Road

Free on-site parking is available at all hours. You shouldn’t have to circle a car park at 6am or 10pm, and at Evolution 24/7 you won’t.

What’s in the Facility

Evolution 24/7 isn’t the only gym in the area — there are smaller facilities scattered through the suburbs. It is, by a significant margin, the highest-specification facility in the catchment.

The floor runs Hammer Strength plate-loaded and selectorised machines — the brand trusted by NFL, NBA and Olympic training programmes globally — alongside a complete Life Fitness strength and cardio range. Free weights, cables, barbells, dumbbells, treadmills, bikes, rowers, stair steppers, leg press. A full commercial-grade training floor within five minutes of most of Brisbane’s southern suburbs.

There’s also an on-site supplement store stocked with Optimum Nutrition, EHPLabs, Redcon1, Rule1 and Max’s — open to members and the public.

Access: 24 Hours, Every Day

The facility is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays. There is no operational “closed.” You train on your schedule.

Staff are on-site Monday to Wednesday 11am–2pm and 3pm–7pm, and Thursday to Friday 11am–3pm. Outside those windows, members access the facility independently with their membership credentials.
