Wound up, run-down, or ready to fly — we meet you where you are.
Cheatcode Playground in Fortitude Valley is a clinic that does one thing well: shift how you feel, fast, using specialised equipment.
No meditation. No learning a skill. No guesswork.
You tell us how you're running, we set up the right session, and 18 or 30 minutes later you walk out calmer, sharper, or more energised.
What happens in a session
You walk in. We have a quick chat about what's going on — stress, sleep, energy, mood — and recommend a session: 18 or 30 minutes, one device, two, or all three firing at once. Private room. Clothes stay on. You get comfortable in the chair.
From there, your job is easy: sit back, follow simple cues, and let the equipment do the rest. No focus required. No trying to get it ‘right.’ Most people feel the shift within minutes.
You walk out, we check in, and you're back to your day. That's the whole thing.
Which one do you need today?
Tell us how you're running and we build the session around it.
Cancel stress (Downshift)
If your mind is still racing at 11pm, this is the one. Reclaim your calm and step out of stress, fast.
Recover fast (Recover)
Some days sleep is not enough. Clear the fog and get back the energy an early night did not give you.
Hit another level (Upshift)
Before a pitch, a presentation or a packed schedule. Get your edge back so you walk in switched on and clear-headed.
Not sure which one? Most people can't choose, or need more than one. That is what our quick consults are for. Enquire now

Wonderfully calm, kind and professional environment, with very knowledgeable staff. I battle with fluid retention and the extra pressure it puts on my body, especially as someone with a physically demanding job, with clients of my own. I noticed a flux in my weight happening weekly; the only consistent pattern was my cheatcode appointment the day before each sudden drop in weight. The amount of lymphatic drainage achieved in each session is mind-blowing. The session also gives my nervous system a vay-cay, calming my mind and body, and I come out a whole new person. Highly recommend giving Cheatcode Playground and their tech a try! There is a stack for everyone!

From when I first walked in they gave me a water, it was nice and smooth. Then I went through to my therapy and it was just wow, wow, wow. It was just an amazing experience. You have to try this. I booked and paid for another session before I left. Thank you for the feeling I got from the treatment, what an amazing experience.

I couldn’t recommend CheatCode Playground more highly! From the moment I arrived, the team made me feel so welcome. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole experience. I left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to my next visit. I’ll definitely be coming back regularly, and I highly recommend CheatCode Playground to anyone wanting to invest in their health and wellbeing.

I came across Cheatcode last week and have already been twice. The team are incredible, and have something for whatever you need in wellness energy, focus, relaxation, clarity. I see this becoming a staple in my wellness routine. Thank you for bringing this to Brisbane!

Cheat Code Playground is one of the most unique wellness experiences I’ve tried. The combination of guided breathwork, light stimulation, vibration, sound, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to switch off and genuinely relax. I walked out feeling calmer, more present, and noticeably less stressed. The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and created a space where it felt comfortable to fully immerse yourself in the experience. It’s hard to describe until you’ve tried it, but if you’re looking for something different to help reset your nervous system and disconnect from the constant pace of daily life, I’d definitely recommend giving it a go.

It’s a MUST DO!! So I had no idea what I was in for but it was something I can’t fully explain, all I can say is be open and give it a go. The team is amazing and ready to take you on the journey. I’ll give you 1 tip then it’s over to you ….. completely let go and give it your everything. Then you will know what I know.

What are you doing reading reviews? Just goo book a session and give yourself a serious dose of self love! The chair and light combo is so effective it will feel illegal. Best of all it's not a one time gimmick: it rewards time in the chair no matter what your goals look like. Want to reduce stress? Want to increase your V̇O₂ max? Want to bring down your resting heart rate? Or do you just really, really, really need to sleep tonight? Go see their experts for a program tailored to your needs. You will not regret it.

Three devices (because one is never enough)
Most clinics have one tool and hope it fits everyone. Stress, energy and focus do not all live in the same place.
Full body vibration, sound and guided breathing. Releases physical tension, restores energy, or primes you when you need to be sharp.
For
›Physical tension and bracing
›Feeling wired and wiped out at the same time
›A demanding day ahead
The chair works your body. The lamp works your mind. The NanoVi helps your body recover underneath. The point is not just to calm you down, it is to give you back your full range.
What does a session involve?
You do not have to prepare for it, dress for it or be good at it. Here is the whole visit.
015 min
The consult
You come in off Ballow Street. A short conversation about stress, sleep, energy, mood, work demands, anything health related we should know about.
025 min
The setup
Private room, clothes on, comfortable in the chair. We tell you which device we are using, why, and what it is going to do.
0330 min
The session
A few simple cues, then you sit back and let it run. No focus required.
0410 min
The check in
How you feel, and what to expect over the next 24 hours, over an Apex coffee or tea. If a regular rhythm makes sense we'll say so, without pressure.
