Connection matters. Our inclusive events, social activities and Disability Disco create safe, welcoming opportunities to make friends, try new experiences, build confidence and simply have a great time.
Getting out, meeting people and being part of something can make a big difference to confidence and connection.
Our social events create opportunities for participants to spend time with others, build friendships and enjoy new experiences in a relaxed, supportive environment. From our Disability Disco to group outings, activities and special events, there’s always something to look forward to.
There’s no pressure to be the loudest person in the room or to jump straight in. Everyone is encouraged to participate in their own way, at their own pace, with support available when it’s needed.
Most importantly, our events are about having fun, feeling welcome and being part of a community.
Want to learn to run but don’t know where to start? Our beginner runners learn to go from 0 to 5km in 10 weeks. Take on your first City to Bay or Bloody Long Walk or participate in our annual fun run
We like to hang out outside the gym too. Some of the fun activities we’ve done include bootcamp before beers, taco night, Easter fun bun class, bootcamp before bowling and our annual awards night.
Our own resident DJ, DJ Rob, keeps our fitness classes fresh. DJ Rob provides the best live mixes to get sweaty to during our fitness classes. Book into our special DJ Rob classes, including cardio dance, step or cardio sculpt for extra motivation from great tunes.
Travel with trainer Cass and an amazing small group of Power to Move members on a yearly Bali fitness retreat. Relax poolside with tasty food and cocktails and get sweaty with mountain hikes, bike rides and challenging workouts.
Whether you’re ready to hit the dance floor, try something new or simply spend time with a great group of people, there’s a place for you at Power To Move.
Take a look at what’s coming up, choose something that sounds like you and come along for the experience.
Your next great day or night could be just around the corner.
I started training with PTM in March 2020 to help me deal with stress and a traumatic event. I started with simple yoga stretches and low impact exercises because my health and fitness was quite poor – I couldn’t do sit ups or climb stairs without getting puffed out.
I decided to challenge myself and push my boundaries because being in an older age bracket, I was concerned about ageing strong and being healthy for as long as possible.
I think that the biggest secret to being successful in achieving goals is consistency, setting goals a little higher than you think you’re capable of achieving and then just going for it and making small adjustments each time and giving it your best.
My advice to anyone thinking of starting is to stop thinking about it and just start. One step at a time. Set yourself realistic goals – you’re first and foremost doing this for yourself. You deserve to feel and be at your best.
I’ve been with Power to Move for 12 months and have been part of the Fit4Life Program.
I am Obese and when I started with the team I needed to lose over 60 kilos, get my blood sugar, cholesterol and general health under control and start to move more.
Cass helped ease me into training. We started with a few sessions each week, and now I’m at the gym sometimes twice a day. Cass has helped me with my food and movement and now trainer Max is taking my fitness and health to the next level.
I’ve lost 28 kilos and 58 centimetres so far, and I’m committed to achieving my health and lifestyle goals.
My name is Madison McCarthy. I’ve been training at Power to Move for almost 6 months and cannot believe the change I have endured mentally and physically.
I absolutely love the vibe and inclusivity of this gym and really think I have achieved the best results here.
With head trainer Cassandra, I have lost a total of 38cm whilst training here and most importantly, have achieved a changed positive mindset toward being healthy and active on a daily basis.
