On a day in May 2023, Sarada Satori, founder of fitness studio Sculpt Club met Katherine Dellow, founder of fitness fashion studio LOKR, and magic happened.
“We realised our brands’ values were aligned in so many ways,” Dellow said.
They joined forces in the LOKR Studio space, where Dellow creates her sustainable collection of high-fashion bespoke fitness pieces, and where Satori hosts inventive pilates classes for her clients – who attend from all over Australia and the world.
“When I started Sculpt Club, I wanted my clients to honestly just be whoever they want to be in that moment. What they wear is of course part of that,” Satori says. “I host my classes in an operating fashion workshop. It’s perfect.”
LOKR Studios was started by Dellow as a response to the fast fashion fitness industry that was “consuming people’s wallets and the planet.” Her mantra, ‘Made to Matter’ is something the LOKR brand doesn’t just say, but lives, with sustainable fabrics, all responsibly sourced, and crafted at her studio on Rene Street.
Dellow and Satori have created a space that has become something of a creative hub, with clients of both often staying in the studio for hours outside of fittings and classes.
“And that’s exactly what we wanted,” Dellow said.
Sculpt Club hosts 10 classes a week at the LOKR Studio space. LOKR currently has limited openings for personalised styling and custom-fittings of their current and next collections.
