🏋️‍♂️ Where & When — Weekly Inclusive Fitness Sessions

Here’s what’s happening each week! Every session adapts to the people there on the day — so whether we’re working on coordination, confidence, or connection, it’s always fun, flexible, and inclusive.

🥊 Mondays & Wednesdays — Boxing (3:45–4:30 PM)

Monday: Highland Reserve, Upper Coomera

Wednesday: Heights Blvd Park, Pimpama / Upper Coomera
These are gloves-and-pads sessions — no fighting! We focus on fitness, coordination, and timing. Great for building focus, confidence, and that endorphin buzz.

🎯 Mondays — ABC (Aim, Balance & Coordination) (4:30–5:15 PM)
Think games, laughter, and teamwork disguised as fitness! We work on catching, throwing, coordination, and reaction skills — sometimes even with nunchucks. Every activity is adapted to the group, helping build confidence and friendships through movement.

💪 Thursdays — Boxing & Resistance (Eagleby Neighbourhood Centre)

3:45–4:30 PM: Boxing — Using the gym trailer with pads, bags, and gloves for a full-body workout.

4:30–5:15 PM: Resistance Session — Also with the gym trailer. Perfect for sensory seekers and anyone who loves “heavy work.” (heavy meaning what you are capable of) Slower-paced with built-in breaks, giving the body that deep-pressure feedback and helping the brain connect with movement.

🕙 Coming Soon — Ormeau (Brien Harris Oval)
We’ll be adding a school-hours session soon — perfect for homeschoolers or those looking for something during the day. Times TBA!

📍 Looking for a Venue — Nerang
We’ve got a few people on the waitlist already and are looking for a suitable venue in or around Nerang. If you know of a good spot, get in touch!

Each session uses fitness as the vehicle — but the destination is confidence, connection, and community. 💥

Just a quick mash-up of some of the crew trying out the new gym trailer 💪

Not everyone’s on camera (privacy rules and all that), but trust me — everyone who jumped in had a blast. You’ll see more snippets over time as we get more pics and vids from sessions.

We’ll be setting up soon at Eagleby Neighbourhood Community Centre and are now taking expressions of interest — if you or someone you know might want to get involved, head to the link in bio for more info 👇

People ask what we do in Our sessions
Well
A better question is why we do things
So today was our first session using nunchuks ... yes they are padded training chuks
Why?
Well a few reasons
Because nunchucks are cool, they are fun and they require a lot of coordination
Mondays are ABC Aim, balance and coordination
I take consideration of WHO will be in a session And what their abilities are... i always try to make it fun, a bit silly and try to make use of things rhat the guys can remember and want to do again
Of course they all want to hit me again🤣
But that wasn’t some weird masochistic moment — it was about showing them that even if they did accidentally hit themselves, it’s no big deal. I took a few “for science” to prove it!
Again, these are padded (i didnt have that luxury at their age 🤣)
We’re not learning to fight with nunchucks — we’re learning to move with them, to build coordination, rhythm, and confidence.

the words arnt specific to who is on screen btw

I am not an 'everyone gets a trophy kinda guy' i think when we win it needs to be because we deserve it, thats why we have only 1 certificate each week.

That said, i like to set things up for the guys to get wins, even if they are just internal.

Some people are lucky enough to have never had to go through demoralising things and how they impact your perception of the world.

We find ways to prove we are deserving of wins.

wins are important

though, the guys would just say they are having fun ... there is more to it ... but thars why they come back

🚐 We finally did it — the Slim Gym trailer is ready to roll! 🎉

After plenty of trials and hoops to jump through, our inclusive gym trailer is officially on the road — bringing fitness, fun, and friendships across the Gold Coast and Logan.

This isn’t just another mobile gym. It’s a game-changer for:
💪 People with disabilities who find regular gyms overwhelming
🧠 Participants on the autism spectrum who benefit from sensory feedback in movement
🏡 SIL homes, community groups & families wanting to train together locally
👥 Anyone who loves the idea of making real friends while getting active

The trailer means no memberships, no pressure, and no missing out — we bring the equipment, games, and energy to you.

✨ In my latest blog, I share:

The story behind building the trailer (and the hurdles to get here)

How weighted movement helps our autistic clients connect mind and muscle

What this opens up for SILs, hubs, and local community sessions

How you can get involved or host a session near you

👉 Check out the full story here:

If you’re a SIL provider, parent, support coordinator, or someone who just wants to see inclusive fitness done differently, this is worth a read.

Let’s make fitness fun, social, and accessible for everyone 🚀
