FAM™ is a Strength& Conditioning Program for ALL Differently Abled folk! Join the movement!
Functional Adaptive MovementTM (FAMTM) provides group exercise classes and one-on-one personal training sessions for people living with disabilities. Officially established in 2018, FAMTM has catered for more than 250 athletes in New Zealand, of varying degrees of ability. While FAMTM continues to expand, the mission remains the same: to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to engage in strength and conditioning training to improve and retain fitness and everyday function. We consider our clients to be athletes, and our athletes are the foundation of our FAMily. Our FAMily also includes health care and disability organisations, support workers, trainee students and most importantly our knowledgeable and enthusiastic coaches. As well as the physical benefits of taking part in FAMTM sessions, being a part of the FAMily provides people with a sense of belonging, connecting them to their community and allowing expansion of their social and professional networks.

It is with deep regret and sadness to say goodbye to a family member.
Martin Tucker (Marty) passed on Tuesday finishing his race on earth and entering his next one. He was a none stopper, legend, always happy and positive individual. Always seeing the upside of everything, giving it his best, always.
Marty was and is a giant among men.
Thank you Marty for coming into my life. I will treasure our time together.
Our sincerest condolences to Kathy and the Tucker family.
RIP Marty!
