The Movement Collective - Waratah, New South Wales

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 👌

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 💪
