NOW OPEN: Gorgeous new cafe The Nook opens with aesthetic flair in Mawson Lakes

With its unique blend of pilates and wellness, The Nook is sure to become a go-to destination for both fitness enthusiasts and coffee lovers.

Pilates and coffee? You’ve got our attention! Mawson Lakes’ brand-new Aleenta Health Club has come in hot bringing with it a coffee shop that’s totally Insta-worthy.

You can find Aleenta’s ‘The Nook’ on the ground floor of the Crowne Plaza at their latest workout spot in Mawson Lakes. Joining its other South Australian locations in Magill, Glenelg, and Rundle St, and Melbourne’s Bourke St, Aleenta has made a name for itself as a boutique yoga, pilates, and barre studio.

Aleenta opened the doors to its Mawson Lakes location late last year, and The Nook has been the perfect addition to the studio.

“We really wanted to have a space where the community and our clients could come in before and after class to sit, mingle, and share,” said owner Kylie.

“At our other studios, we noticed a lot of our clients after classes going across the road to grab a coffee, so we wanted to have it all in the one place where clients can get to know each other and really create that community on site.”

Kylie is a total pilates pro starting Aleenta over ten years ago.

“I’ve owned Endota spas for twenty years, but ten years ago when I had young kids at home and didn’t have as much time for myself and movement, I really wanted to create a space to workout that you loved going to, that felt like you were going to a spa.

“There are lots of beautiful studios today, but back then there were none. There were gyms but that was about it in Adelaide. It was really about creating a space for people to prioritise themself and their movement.”

The new beautiful Mawson Lakes studio is the latest addition to Kylie’s lineup, but they’re no strangers to the area.

“We’ve actually been in Mawson Lakes for ten years. Most people don’t realise because we were in a space that was tucked away, down near the lake. We really wanted a space where we could have more street presence and people could find us.”

This move also provided the team with an opportunity to bring in the cafe. Now at The Nook, you’ll be able to grab all your favourite coffees, smoothies, and protein-packed treats, perfect for a post-workout pick me up!

“The team are really focused on creating healthy refreshments more than food. Carly, who runs The Nook, has a background in catering and she’s absolutely amazing.

“They’ll be using some supplements that we stock and are working to incorporate electrolyte drinks and protein drinks, that we as women need in our diet to support working out and moving.”

Whether you’ve been looking for a post-pilates spot, or just a new cafe to try, The Nook should definitely be one that’s added to your list. You can find them on the ground floor at Crowne Plaza 1–3 Metro Parade, Mawson Lakes.
