Misfit Gym

About

The main focus of Misfit gym is to empower its students with the skills to train smart and improve to reach their goals. We focus on 3 main aspects. Mobility, Strength, Martial arts and Wellbeing.

Mobility: Using the Original Strength system offers a fantastic way to learn how the body moves and at the same time increase reflexive strength and coordination, using fundamental body movements including: rocking, rolling, crawling, marching, skipping and running.

Strength: Strength training will allow the exploration and building of the body to improve underlying strength. It will be based on functional strength training systems using results based methods with skills covering bodyweight, kettlebell and barbell, our strength training is based on the Strongfirst principles.

Martial Arts: Martial Arts is a pattern based skill which like the skills above is easily teachable and repeatable. Offering a distinct path to follow, combining reflexive strength and mobility, with measurable outcomes that will improve many areas for each participant.

Wellbeing: What we eat contributes greatly in our lives. We recommend the following principles and guidelines from Primal Blueprint and Real Meal Revolution. There will be a lot more information referenced here over time.

Our Pilot program is a dedicated program for children and teenagers on the Autism Spectrum, this is the corner stone of the gym and is the driving passion behind what we do. The pilot program is a 9 week term in 4 parts. The weeks from 1 to 6 cover the individual modalities to focus on the correct patterning and the remaining 3 weeks progress and integrate all aspects together. Ideally there will be 2 sessions per week separated by a few rest days. The rest days allow the students to think about the sessions and do their own practice. Each session has time for skills reinforcement and new skill acquisition. In the final 3 weeks all skills will be applied in each session and this is where the students gain the confidence that will carry on in their every day lives.

Misfit gym is passionate about improving people and making them move well, feel well and stay well. Its a simple goal and something we strive for everyday.
