I recently joined TMC for the over 50s classes. TMC is unlike any other "gym". Their programs incorporate a variety of skills and activities for the body and brain. Challenging without being "smashed", totally supportive, lots of options / levels, lots of fun, not intimidating. Highly recommend! Less

I rocked up for my first ever over 50s movement class last week and had the best class ever! I was nervous in the lead up (I’m well over 50!) - what if I couldn’t do anything? But there was no need to worry - some things I could do, some I couldn’t. Dan, our lovely coach, kept a close eye and if we struggled, he jumped in with advice on how to make the movement easier, how best to work toward achieving it. The class was full of new challenges and a lot of fun! Everyone was really encouraging and I truly loved every minute of it! I now can’t wait to get back for the next class! Less

A different approach to fitness.If you’re bored with a typical gym, check this out… More acrobatic and calisthenic oriented movement, that changes on a frequent basis, and really pushes you to move a whole bunch of muscles you might’ve forgotten about. (Especially if you’re a little older! ☺️)Lovely people, both instructors and people doing the class… A really nice community vibe. Less

I joined about 3 months ago as a complete newbie! The trainers are super accommodating to everyone of all levels of fitness and it’s a great crew of supportive people without any ego or judgement Less

A nice space, environment and people.A bit pricier than regular gyms but worth it if you're making use of it. Classes focusing on multiple things to get whatever you're after and also keeps it interesting. Less

The Movement Collective is a total breath of fresh air! It’s such a welcoming vibe right from the start, and nothing like your usual gym. The community is super chill and supportive, no pressure, just people pushing each other to do their best. The coaches are awesome—super knowledgeable and genuinely care about your progress. Plus, the classes are a great mix of fun and challenging, focusing on real movement and overall well-being. If you want a gym that feels like home, this is it! Less

I've just started classes at TMC and it's been the best thing I've done to get back into movement again. Shout out to Dan for his awesome sessions for over 50s. I'm learning, challenging myself and really enjoying the sessions. Less

Mobility, strength, flexibility and cognitive improvement, all perfectly set in an amazing friendly and social environment. These people know what they’re doing. Progress is guaranteed. Less

The space, the classes and the people make this gym the best I have every been to. Very supportive and social, it makes me want to go to every class, even when Im still worn from the workout the day before 😁 Less

TMC is honestly the best movement gym hands down! If you’re thinking of trying them out please give it a go!I was unsure if I should join at first because everyone looked so skilled, but I thought why not one day and gave it a go. I’m sooo happy I did! Everyone is at different levels in their fitness journey. There is such a wide range of people at all different stages, you never feel left out or alone, everyone has been in the exact same spot before.I have been training at TMC coming up to a year now and the progress I have made is incredible. Going from a 2second handstand to now 19seconds! I can also do the splits, juggle and I’m just shy of getting a muscle up, among so many other cool things, all of which I was not able to do before joining TMC. My body and fitness has never felt better.The trainers/teachers are so helpful and knowledgeable if you ask them for help with anything they will take the time to help you achieve it. There’s a variety of different classes and class times to suit your preference. There’s also a little gym cafe with a wide range of snacks and beverages.Everyone knows you by name which is so nice. The community at TMC is full of diverse, amazing and kind souls. There isn’t one person I haven’t been able to have a great conversation and laugh with. Everyone is super supportive and respectful. There isn’t a person here that isn’t stoked to see you reach a new achievement. After class some people even stay around to play games or hang out and chat with one another, everyone is so friendly and welcoming.The owners Rod and Jeni are such kind and real people. They aren’t like the usual business owners that are only after your money/business.. They genuinely care about everyone at the gym and want to help you achieve your goals. They are truly happy to see your accomplishments.I have had nothing but amazing experiences at TMC. I’m so happy I gave it a shot and joined, I’ve never looked back! Less

Since starting at TMC last September, I have been amazed not only by the improvements in my physical capabilities but also by how my mindset, approach to movement, and integration of it into my life have changed for the better! All the teachers at TMC are uniquely knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, and truly invested in helping you reach your potential. TMC is so much more than a gym—it’s an uplifting community that will inspire you, challenge you, and support your growth in more ways than one. If you’re considering joining, do it—you won’t regret it! Less

TMC is more than a gym, it's a home. There is no better place in Newcastle to get fit and make countless friends. If you want to workout hard, there's coached classes included in the membership. If you want to sweat it out, book in for a sauna. If you want to sit and relax, there's an upstairs reading loft and library (with hammocks). The coaches and staff are some of the friendliest people I've ever met, and are so knowledgeable in regards to movement improvement. I can't recommend this gym more! Less

A warm and welcoming space owned and operated by world class teachers. The perfect gym whether you are an absolute beginner or a veteran of the game. Highly, highly recommended 👌 Less

I love the games, I love the skill-based progressions, I love the humility and the humanness. TMC provides complete physical practice and delivers it in a fun, unassuming way. Meanwhile, the community here is diverse, interesting and kind. Thank you for the gains, friendships and memories 💪 Less

I've never heard so much laughing at any gym I've been to before. The workouts have lots of fun variations so you never get bored. There are also lots of fun events programmed throughout the year, which keeps things exciting. TMC- your one-stop fitness/strength/fun shop. Accept no substitutes! Less

TMC is more than a gym, it's a community - I actually WANT to go to the gym. Can't say I have ever had FOMO if I miss class at any other gym that's for sure! It makes exercise fun with games, lots of banter, support and so much variety, you never get bored! Joining TMC was like embracing my inner child - handstands, tumbling, rings, juggling, cartwheels, dance and games to name a few! I injured myself a few months ago but have still been able to come to class everyday and do my rehab and modify everything in class so I don't miss out - such knowledgeable and supportive trainers! So cartwheel yourself to TMC, you won't regret it :) Less

The Movement Collective is the first gym I’ve ever committed to. As someone who is not confident in a gym, it was really intimidating to start something new. The owners and teachers of TMC are warm, helpful, always remember your name and story, and are invested in your journey. It has been a fantastic experience and I love being a part of the community! Less

The Movement Collective is definitely a one of a kind gym in Newcastle. Jeni and Rod have created a space for creativity and play-based movement, strength and mobility workouts combined. I don't think I have ever learnt so much and also felt so challenged. Everyone is on their own journey within this gym so wherever you are at is always accepted. Some people are a lot further down their journey than others which can seem intimidating, however, you start where you are at - all the coaches provide different levels for you to achieve during each session.It is all about consistency over a long period of time and effort as we all know to achieve to the capacity of some members and the coaches. The coaches also make the members feel like they have something to teach by doing some of the demonstrations during the classes. I will never forget my time at TMC and all the unique things that I learnt. I will now carry this with me forever. Less

The gym, coaching, classes, atmosphere and support are excellent. TMC also offers complimentary workshops in different disciplines. I started with no experience in these type of excercise and after 1 year I have significantly improved my mobility, strenght and wellness. Recommended for everybody at all levels of fitness. Less

I was drawn to TMC as is focuses on moving, not just working out. Flexibly, stretching, technique and strength are all carefully woven into each class. Even as a beginner I never felt left out. Each movement is broken down to a level that I could achieve and then work on. The best part is the people. They make everybody feel welcome. Rod and the team always encourae me to push myself and do better. Do yourself a favour and give TMC a go. Less

Excellent gym! I learned so many new skills here. The whole team are super talented movers and teachers. The community is super supportive and fun as well. Less

The Movement Collective is an awesome space. It's more than just a gym - the vibe of the people, the unique classes and the cafe (with the best brownies I've ever tasted!) creates a culture that you probably always thought you weren't cool enough to be a part of. You go for the workout, but you stay for the vibe. Less

The Movement Collective is the most unique gym I've ever been to. It's an entire community with a friendly vibe, and it's even kid and dog friendly. Their program is fun and never repetitive, so if you are looking for something that isn't run of the mill, check them out Less

I have been training at TMC for over 6 years, and it is by far the best place I have ever trained. The facilities offer so many training and recovery options and they have always had the experience and knowledge to help me reach my training goals. Rod, Jeni and the TMC team are always welcoming, supportive, and they keep training fun. As soon as you walk in the door you can feel how good the vibe is. You don't feel like just a number here. Rod brings so much enthusiasm and energy to classes and training and always challenges me at training. It isn't just a great place to train, the TMC crew are great people as well. Less

The Movement collective is truely one of a kind. My partner luca and i decided to live in Newcastle just to be able to train at this particular gym. We came all the way from Europe and have never seen a gym like this. Since the first day we stepped into the gym, it was everything we dreamed it would be. A gym with incredible teachers. Rod, jenny and all the other teachers are so involved in everyone's progress. They all have incredible knowledge and are super eager to pass it on. The program runs for 6 weeks leaving enough time to learn new movements and progress each week. In only a few weeks , we have made big progress and our goals seem closer to reach every week. Since day one, we felt welcomed. Every single person, from beginner to advanced is supporting each other and helping each other. Everyone is pushing each other to thrive. Everyone will become you biggest cheerleader and you will always feel empowered.The community within TMC is truely unique and we havent found it anywhere else in the world. The energy in the group classes is always high with laughter and smiles. There is always a playfulness in the training that we love. We always start the day with a game and getting to know each other. We couldnt recommend The Movement Collective enough. From strength training, to acrobatic flows, to gymnastics & dance. The movement collective is everything you need in a gym. Plus The coffee Benders inside the gym has the best coffee, chai latte and yummy food. Less

I almost quit on day one, I didn’t think rings and handstands were for me, but I am glad I stuck around. Six months in and I love it. I am feeling lighter, stronger and more skilled. Group classes are great fun and a great community. Less

TMC is more than a movement facility. It's a culture, a place that breeds supportive community, a place to belong and to discover more about who you are and where your potential lies. I've been moving and growing with TMC for 6 years now and I can't speak any higher of the facility and the experience you get simply being involved in everything they have going on! Less

TMC, this place is like no other. Top top community plus welcoming, supportive and talented staff with a variety of classes/workouts for different levels. You’ll get stronger, more flexible and have fun all at the same time. Less

TMC is more than a gym, it’s a community! Not only have I smashed movement goals whilst training there, I’ve met some of my closest friends. Highly recommend to anyone who wants more than a ‘conventional gym’. Less

Rod and the crew run exercise sessions for participants in our NDIS program, Healthy Change Challenge. The crew love the energy, different levels and quality training they receive at TMC. Everyone at the gym is supportive and encouraging. If, like our participants, you want to work on your health and well-being give TMC a go! Less

Everyone at TMC is really supportive and enjoy celebrating each others achievements. From day one I was made to feel welcome and part of the community. Even though I have only been attending TMC for a short time I have seen an improvement in my strength, flexibility and confidence. TMC is definitely not your average gym, 10 out of 10 recommend! Less

This is not a review but a love letter to the space and people who have poured so much into my life and continuing to do so even from a far. TMC will forever be my home no matter how far I travel. Learning how to handstand and do cool stuff from world class athletes/coaches was just an added bonus to the incredible friendships and relationships I built during my time at TMC. There is really no gym like this gym. If you are ever fortunate enough to walk into this space someday, you’ll experience all the wonderful things, programs and people this place has to offer. 🩵 Less

It’s been well over a year of life changing mobility, flexibility and fun, and I still haven’t given TMC 5 stars? Probably because 5 doesn’t seem enough. If you’re in range of Newcastle, go to a class, often. Less

An amazing place of positive energy and people. I have learnt and progressed so much in 4 years of joining. TMC has amazing tribe of people that have become good friends. Less

Love love love this space - so much more than a gym! The community is a vibe. Everyone is so supportive of your movement journey. All the teachers have their own unique and valuable way of sharing tips and tricks. I love that the focus is on building dynamic and healthy movement into our lives, not just for the time we are at the gym. In saying that I have built so much strength in my hyper-flexible body through coming here. I have tried so many new skills since coming here 2.5 years ago - handstands, fire staff, flow and more because of the safe and supportive environment that is TMC. Outside of this, my confidence and appreciation for my body has grown exponentially. Thanks Rod and Jeni for bringing this vision to life and constantly adapting and evolving to best suit our needs. Less

Awesome place for training, learning, and making friends. Can't beat this place! I started here with a major shoulder injury and am now doing things I couldn't do before that injury! Less

I have been doing PT sessions with Jeni from TMC for nearly a year. The gym itself is incredible and I just love their passion and ethos. It also has a beautiful spirit of community. It's exactly what I've looked for for so long! As far as PTs go, I can't recommend Jeni enough. She explains things so clearly and effectively and tailors sessions to my exact goals. She is so enthusiastic and always pushes me to do more but never to the point where it's annoying or fake or over the top which is something I've hated about other PTs I've had!! She just genuinely loves what she does and is really bloody good at it. Can't recommend her or TMC enough! Less

TMC is 10/5 stars for me. Highly highly recommend joining. The TMC team are deeply passionate about helping, supporting and guiding members to seriously love their bodies. It isn’t just about physical fitness. It’s about the whole experience; feeling good, moving your body, getting stronger, community and connection, acceptance, games and playfulness, and also having deep, intimate conversations. TMC has an awe-inspiring culture where trainers and members personally connect and encourage each other, which deepens the motivation to challenge yourself and confront your boundaries, both physically and mentally. I started weak and injured. I was fearful of hurting myself and extremely intimidated by the supreme athletes in there. But with every session I attended I was supported, encouraged and guided by everyone. Each instructor gave me strategies via small technical workouts to focus on stretching and strengthening parts of my body holding me back as well as how to progress. They also, very positively, gave me feedback in areas where I needed more technique and focus. And they still do! The vast knowledge and experience of the TMC Team is superior to anything I have been exposed to. What they offer is highly valuable to me. My confidence in my body continues to grow, my fear is gone, my strength and power continues to improve, and the enjoyment I feel while getting fit and healthy at TMC is priceless. The intimidation I previously felt has now grown to admiration and friendship. I feel like I’ve been welcomed and adopted into the most beautiful, special family. Thank you TMC. You have me as a member for life! Less

For those that like it in bullet point... Pros: * Work with your body rather than punish it. * Entry at and catered to any fitness & skill level, whether you haven't been very physically active in the past or have been an Olympic gymnast! * Achieve movement and skills that you never imagined possible. (Great for party tricks ;) * Build your confidence alongside your physical progress. * Supported by highly knowledgeable and well-educated coaches (Physio/Chiro/...). * Become a member of an incredibly diverse, supporting and amazing community where you are valued. * Get a set of abs just from laughing alone :D There is a strong focus on the positive, playfulness and fun. * Make it a family affair... there are adult classes for the parents, move well classes for the grandparents and kids classes for the little ones. * Impressive facility! Complete with a gymnastics matted floor, crossfit-style area, dance floor, relaxation room, physio and massage therapy rooms, infrared saunas, showers and the incredible Coffee Benders cafe! Cons: * It's highly addictive... you'll "just give it a little go" then 6 years later you can't imagine how you've ever lived a life without TMC. Less

“I don’t like going to gyms, I find them boring” If you’ve ever said this before than you should try TMC. I used to feel the same way. Coming to TMC has brought back out my inner playful child who loves to move because moving it fun! Less

I have been going to The Movement Collection (TMC) since November 2021. My attraction to try it out turned into pure love for this amazing establishment. I really struggle to fault it. I came from a Crossfit, high-intensity workout background and wanted to challenge myself in ways that involved me regressing to progress. I was humbled very quickly and continue to be humbled but also have come leaps and bounds with my gymnastic skills, strength and mobility. Beyond everything I have said above, the people at TMC truly make the place special. There is a unique and magical camaraderie among the members and instructors which creates a welcoming and supportive environment I have never felt in any other gym. TMC miraculously attracts incredible individuals who quickly become your best mates and your biggest cheer squad. The sense of community and friendship fostered at TMC is unmatched, making each workout a fun and uplifting experience. Less

Not just a gym! Rod and Jeni have created a welcoming space that focuses on playfulness but you're also guaranteed to acquire skills. Very knowledgable teachers and a great community. Less

Definitely check out this gym if you are feeling stagnant in your progression and want to branch away from a traditional gym. TMC make exercise exciting, welcoming, and impactful towards overall well-being. Plus the cafe attached, sauna, chill space, and member events are all perks. Less

The best community! TMC is not only a gym, but a place where you can made life long connections/friendships. At the Movement Collective trading is made 100 fun, and teachers are amazingly skilled and supportive. Since I joined I learnt skills I couldn’t even dream of! Wanna learn to Handstand?? This is the place! The best Movement Gym!!! Less

A place which embraces diversity, inclusion and absolutely all levels of skill. A gym where a workout involves movement and play, and where you become fit whilst learning how to be upside down! A community and culture like no other, with no comparison. Highly recommended! Less

I joined TMC specifically to challenge myself in areas around my physical abilities and found that the well runs so much deeper than I had expected. TMC is a place for personal growth and development in all aspects of life. I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience and I feel like I'm more of a community member than a customer when I’m in the space. Also, I think an honourable mention to the mob at The Coffee Benders is in order. Not only is the food and coffee amazing but the guys are amazing movers too. A real testament to the culture. Less

The best gym I have ever come across - their play-based approach to fitness makes going to the gym loads of fun. Then when you add in the incredible sense of community, encouragement and support, it is just a great place to be. I love that my kids learn similar skills at their classes to what I am doing in adult classes and we get to play and practice together. Less

I've been a member of TMC for a bit over a year now and absolutely love it. Learnt so much about my body and developing new skills. The community and teachers are amazing! Less

TMC has changed my life in regard to health, nutrition, strength, flexibility and sense of belonging to community. I would highly recommend the movement collective for anyone looking to smash their health, strength and movement goals, whilst hanging out with an incredible group of loving humans. Less

I've been at The Movement Collective (TMC) for a little under a year and it has been an outstanding gym experience! First and foremost, the trainers are top-notch. They are continually expanding their own knowledge in mobility training and skill development, and their guidance has been instrumental in helping me improve my mobility and gain exciting new skills. TMC's commitment to community building is commendable. Before starting I was incredibly nervous joining up as someone who has next to no flexibility. With each class I started to slowly improve and was stoked with the positive support from other members. I've had the opportunity to connect with an awesome bunch of like-minded individuals who share similar goals and each class is full of motivation for each other. The Movement Collective is a gem in Newcastle. Less

I joined the TMC just over a year ago now and I love it. I never realised how poorly I had been moving and how much pain could be relieved just be moving better and getting out of my comfort zone. The community is amazing and I am stronger than I have ever been! Less

TMC is an awesome space that you never want to leave. The classes cater to all levels and everyone is super welcoming. I found the movement + crèche classes super helpful for retiring to training after having my daughter. Rod, jeni and all the teachers are very knowledgeable and are always eager to help you. Also there is epic coffee. Less

I have been a member for over 4 years, and still love this place so much. I can do so much more now- hold a bridge and handstand, deadlift over 100kg, and almost have my front splits both sides. And I always have so much fun too!!! Less

I have been a member at The Movement Collective for almost a year now and it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! The teachers are capable of assisting anyone regardless of their current level of fitness, the members are incredibly welcoming and the movements they focus on are so fun! I would recommend TMC to anyone who is interested in improving their lifestyle and enjoying themselves in the process :) Less

The Movement Collective doesn't feel like a gym but where you have a great sense of community and get fit all at the same time. You learn an array of gymnastics based skills but also learn to move and coordinate your body in ways you didn't think we're possible. The instructors are all so passionate and help explain each skill so well. Whether you just want to stop being a couch potato or want to learn to do a muscle up this is the gym for you! Less

I have been a member of TMC for a year now and I can confidently say it's the most amazing and unique gym out there. I've always found gyms to be pretty similar and repetitive but TMC really keeps you challenged with different programs and classes that help in the progression of everyone's ability. TMC promotes a healthy and positive lifestyle where the classes don't really feel like 'exercise' but more like fun play. Since joining TMC I've honestly never felt more healthy! The best part about TMC is the amazing community Rod and Jeni and the teachers have created. From my first day I always felt welcomed and never judged on my ability. Members are very friendly and the teachers always make time to help you progress and answer any questions. I absolutely love being a part of the TMC community! Less

Couldn't recommend this place any more! They run the entire program to make it varied, fun and they always provide different access points to each activity so that it will be a challenge but specifically relevant to you so that you are able to ensure you are progressing and working hard on movements specific to the level you are at. Everyone is at different levels but there is a team/family atmosphere and everyone recognises and celebrates each others' individual progressions and achievements. All staff are extremely approachable and offer advice customised to you as an individual- where you are at and your personal goals. long term members inspire you with their absolutely jaw dropping talent which you know has come about through nothing but hard work, practice and commitment. I only joined in December and I was absolutely shocked at how much i had progressed in just over a month in my strength and mobility however what was more significant was how much I had progressed as an individual - I have become far more confident, I have been welcomed into a beautiful, kind and caring community of like-minded individuals and I have enjoyed the classes so much- they have been so much fun and I can guarantee that in every single class I will be laughing at some point. I have also been doing PT sessions with Michael Fernandez and they have been extremely helpful, enjoyable and specific to achieving my personal goals. I have really appreciated how flexible and open Michael has been to tailoring sessions to my specific needs. You are missing out big time if you don't join TMC - it has positively changed my life for the better and it has the potential to change yours too! Less

Every person wants to improve but for most of us we dont really know where to start, you sift through hours of youtube and health magazines slugging away at the same old gym routines with no real success and it only seems to be an hour of hell every second day. Welcome to the movement collective, I moved here about a year ago now and it has been life changing, I originally did weight lifting and power building and had issues with some things due to injury but this approach to fitness is fun and exciting, it challenges your body in things you probably have not seen or done and the support to acheive these skills is there. If you want to make a change and grow stronger, faster and be more flexible then this is for you. Keep an open mind and embrace the challenge and chase the body you want. Less

This is an AWESOME gym - strength, mobility/flexibility, they have it all covered. Awesome as a way to cross-train for other sports or on its awesome. Great atmosphere and patient, knowledgeable instructors. Less

I started at The Movement Collective back in 2016 and after leaving 2017 due to a change in my living arrangements, I recently joined back up and had my first class back last night. I left feeling so happy and fulfilled. I instantly remembered everything I had loved about it years ago and more. It’s only been 1 class and I have already fallen in love with it all over again. After years of CrossFit and HIIT workouts my body was crumbling. It is so nice to be back in a place where every movement feels like it is doing my body good. It’s the type of place where you feel like it is really going to help your body long term, not just with strength but with mobility and mental health. Not only that, but it’s so fun! Learning tricks and skills that will make my kids gasp and think I’m cool again, things that excite them and make them want to join in. That’s goals right there. Thanks for having me back team! I’m very excited to be back :) Less

I joined TMC 2 years ago, nervous as heck because all the staff are fit and skilled AF and I'm old and overweight and about as flexible as a plank of wood. It turns out what I'd joined was a an amazing community of not just trainers, but members, who are all on their own movement path. The culture is welcoming, vulnerability is allowed and supported, and there is ALWAYS a progression of any movement so that even when you are an absolute beginner at a movement, there's an option. Every single success is celebrated - not just the super-fit folk smashing out a front lever, but also the member who gets their first kick-up to the wall, or even their first unsupported deadhang. Everyone is cheering you on, no-one's competing. [Except Rod, in 2-ball kill]. I think the most obvious sign that this gym is peak gym is that many, many members (not just the trainers) are themselves trainers, physios, other allied health professionals. There is an amazing network of knowledgeable people there to support you. To sum up: it's just freaking awesome. Join up today. Less

Finding this place changed my life for the better! I found TMC through a handstand worshop Rod was running 3 years ago, I started off coming to a weekly class and pretty soon I was hooked. The friendly culture, strong community and focus on what your body can do, not how it looks or the number it is on a scale helped me finally come to terms with myself and my self image, something I had struggled with for a very very long time. If you are looking for 12 week weight loss challenges, weekly weigh ins and checking yourself out in the gym mirror then sorry this isnt the place for you. But if you are looking for an amazing community, acess to highly qualified specialists in all fields of health, new ways to moved your body and instructors who will believe in you and your abilities even before you realise you have them, then I cannot reccomend this place highly enough. Less

I joined TMC to stay fit over winter and rehab a niggling shoulder injury. That was nearly 3 years ago!!! TMC is addictive: learning mad skills, building strength and condition my body, and a fun atmosphere with plenty of silliness. It is everything. And handstands, of course. I never once felt I was too old for movement and I now feel right at home!. TMC can feel scary before you enter because of some of the incredible things the teachers and others can do. .... But I promise it is welcoming, fun, and a great workout. Less

A huge shout out to TMC! I decided to try the gym in a 4 week challenge which gave the opportunity to have a workshop & then try 4 weeks of classes, infrared sauna, an osteo or physio assessment & as many classes as we wanted under the watchful eye of Jeni & Rod I couldn’t be happier....I immersed myself fully in the experience attending as much as I could but also being cautious & always asking for help but pushing myself to improve. All of the staff plus other gym members have been super welcoming & encouraging. I’m not a fit person & have had a couple of back surgeries as well as work full time so it was important not to hurt myself. I’ve now joined & been going for about 9 weeks & am so happy that my energy levels have increased, I am stronger & my ability to move gas seen a great improvement & can now even get into full squat! I would recommend you try this gym no matter your age, fitness or initial abilities. My 5yr old granddaughter also went to kids classes whilst she was visiting me & loved it Less

I have been so impressed with my experience at TMC. As a new member I was given excellent support by the very knowledgeable and friendly coaches, they have been incredibly welcoming and have taken the time to understand my individual movement goals. The classes are always so much fun because of the obvious care put into the programming and the genuine sense of community among the members. The routines are always tailored to the individuals current ability and they ensure everyone can experience success and make continued progress. Less

All crew at The Movement Collective welcoming,friendly and knowledgeable. Members just as welcoming and help to create a genuinely supportive community. People from all walks of life with varied strengths and an environment that allows you to be at ease with your weaknesses. Classes always creative and interesting. highly recommended Less

The Movement Collective is unlike any other gym. I love the variety incorporated into classes... handstands, gymnastics, strength work, parkour, stretch, juggling, yoga, dance etc. I love that it’s about the whole person, we have workshops on emotional well-being and general health and many workshop freebies for members. High quality training is combined with fun and play, the culture is so positive and vibrant. I love all the epic people at TMC. Rod is a great example, outstanding skills and always learning more, always growing and taking people to new heights. Really recommend 👍 Less

I have been a part of theTMC tribe for almost 2 years now and my only regret is not finding it sooner! A wholesome, diverse and supportive community that simply put, just love to move and play 🤸‍♀️💪🤹‍♂️ Less

What a find TMC have been. I call it my village where I go to move, have fun and socialise. The people there are so wonderfully supportive and friendly. Dan, Damo and Brigitta have been super fabulous! Do yourself a favour and check out, then join, The Movement Collective. Your mind and body will thank you for it. Less

Best place to be! Doesn't matter whether you've been into fitness in past... The atmosphere and vibe is so positive and encouraging that you'll start moving on your own :). The trainers are super helpful and the members are all very welcoming and supportive. Their group classes are a great way to socialise and learn. They also have osteopaths, nutritionist and massage therapist within the facility which is really helpful! Less

I honestly don't think there are even words to describe just how amazing it was to be a part of The Movement Collective, but ill do my best.... 18 months ago a friend of mine showed me Rod's instagram page and immediately I was intrigued by all of the handstands and skills. I had noticed that TMC was hosting a movement weekend retreat and before I knew it I was signed up. I had told myself that if I liked the vibe of the retreat and what I was learning, that I would become a member of the gym.....long story short, I joined as soon as the weekend was over!! Some people may look in at The Movement Collective and it's members and probably think "man I could never do what they're doing". But everything you see is absolutely achievable! Not only are the trainers amazing at what they do, but they are supportive, encouraging, and most of all they make sure they keep you accountable for the goals you set yourself. The trainers always ensure that there is a level of progression that suits each member's ability. I would say that the most amazing part about TMC is definitely the community vibe. For myself, and every other person that I talk to, as soon as I started attending classes I felt welcomed. Every member is at a different point in their movement journey and each one has a story to tell, advice to share, or even just some words of encouragement! I first started at TMC with little to no "movement" experience, or so I thought. TMC brings out our bodies capabilities and I soon started to realise just how much my body could actually move, it sounds silly but you don't actually realise how much your body is capable of until you visit TMC. I've unlocked many different skills and have learnt so much from both the trainers and members. New classes are constantly being added to the training schedule and that's another thing I love about it, there's handstand classes, dance classes, mobility, strength and conditioning, weightlifting, yoga classes, parkour, gymnastics just to name a few!!! I have just attended my final class (for now) at The Movement Collective as I am now moving interstate. My challenge now is to find a gym/movement space that comes even remotely close to that of TMC. I want to thank each and every person that has contributed to making my time at TMC one of the most memorable adventures I've taken part in! I would encourage every person that is reading this to go and check out The Movement Collective!!! Less

The Movement Collective is an amazing place, everyone is very welcoming and it’s so much fun :) I came from Germany to Newcastle and was so lucky to have the opportunity to do workouts at this place. Everything is so much fun and makes you loveing your soreness 😀 definitely everyone who loves getting active should check that place out :)) thank you for creating such a cool place :)) Less

TMC is the first gym I’ve been to that I truly enjoy going to! Rod, Jeni, Ang & Dave are super knowledgeable, laid back, encouraging and fun. The results I’ve had in my mobility, flexibility and strength since joining in November 2017 are crazy! Do yourself a favour and come to just one class and see for yourself! Less

TMC is the place to go if you want fun & enjoyment with your journey to improved mobility. There is always a new challenge & the team will help you work on specific goals. Rod's handstand techniques work: after 47 years of not being able to hold one consistently I can now straddle press to handstand 😀 Less

Fantastic teaching staff, the entire culture of TMC is wonderful. I have only been attending a few months and have experienced incredible results. My flexibility has improved, my strength has improved - my overall fitness and quality of life has improved. Would definitely recommend TMC to anyone who wants to see results and look forward to attending classes rather than simply "dragging" themselves to the gym. Less

I have never been to a place like this! The method of training is so fun but caters for all levels of strength and fitness. There is no competition, just a focus on continual self progress at any stage you are up with your movement journey! Rod and the other trainers like Jeni, Waz and Jongtae are incredibly skilled and really caring and friendly. There is a fair bit of strength work in the mix but I've never get bored because we are always learning and practising new skills. I cannot recommend training here higher! Less

By far my favourite gym and place where to train. Rod and Ange are great team leaders and their energy is passed on to each one of us that is lucky enough to get to meet them (and train)! Shot out to everyone: have a go you won't be disappointed. Less
