The Active Strength Classes at Pivotal Motion focus on strength, flexibility, power and endurance whether its for general fitness and wellbeing, competitive team sports, endurance races like marathons, climbing, or much more.

- a reduced risk of sports-related injuries through targeted resistance training adapted to your needs
- maximum impact from work out time during a busy working week
- a way to keep the kids active through the school term, or to keep their training on track while they are in the middle of busy sporting seasons
- safe and effective ways to cater your training to pre-existing injuries, weaknesses, or chronic conditions
- an increased understanding of your body’s biomechanics to help with lifelong strength and fitness habits
Small-group sessions make the classes highly customisable to your unique needs and goals! Each session is supervised by one of our experienced, movement-focused physiotherapists or Exercise Physiologists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a class that’s just for teenagers?
Not currently – although this specifically class is designed with teens and active adults in mind. Based on increasing interest from those outside the “teenager” age range, we opened this class to anyone keen to build on their existing strength, agility and endurance. We still run 1:1 or sibling sessions for children and teens as well so speak with one of our physios or EPs about what we can offe.!
What are some of the benefits of Active Strength classes, rather than just going to the gym?
Our accredited Exercise Physiologists ensure correct, safe technique for strength and conditioning training. We can tailor an evidence-based approach unique for your needs – whether you have chronic conditions, pre-existing injuries, or just specific strengthening and conditioning goals. The classes are as much about learning the best ways to train for your body long term as they are about gains. We’ll help develop a lifelong form of safe, effective, and enjoyable fitness and confidence at the gym.
Why is exercise so important for young people?
Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines recommend adolescents participate in muscle and bone strengthening activities at least 3 days per week. Resistance training can also reduce the risk of a sports-related injury (Sports Medicine Australia, 2017). For more information on the benefits of resistance training and activity for adolescents, refer to physiotherapy for teenagers.
