Pure MVMT, The Playground

I loved my first handstand class! As a pilates instructor l have plenty of core strength but my shoulder girdle strength needed work. I wanted to safely build up to a good handstand and here l found the place to achieve this. Excellent for shoulder strengthening done safely. Highly recommend this business for a creative workout at any age.

I love my experience at Pure MVMT. I've been interested in calisthenics for a while, and despite reading about it a lot online, I never quite got myself started. The Playground is a very beginner-friendly gym. (For reference, I am a young adult, and I joined the gym with my father who is a retiree. I've personally been stuck to my computer for the last 8 years, no exercise). Rowy and Dom are both friendly, approachable, and happy to answer any questions. They helped me jump right in. I initially tried the 7 Day Trial on a whim, and boy do I look forward to every class now.The philosophy of calisthenics includes progressive exercises, and personally, I found getting started daunting - What if I do the exercises wrong and waste my time? What if I'm being reckless and putting myself at risk of injury? What if I don't push myself enough to progress?The classes here have people of variable ability and the coaches alter the exercises depending on your own ability. The classes are small; allowing the coaches to check on you often, spot you, correct your form and also push you within safe limits.I find it motivating and exciting that after 3 weeks, I already see improvement, while at the same time, there's even more to work on! The cool thing about calisthenics is because strength, cardio, mobility, flexibility, balance and coordination are all important, you will find something you're a bit (or a lot) better at than others, and something you're a bit (or a lot) worse at than others. Everyone's different. Therefore, comparison really doesn't occur here. In fact, I get encouraging looks from other members because everyone is trying their best! Indeed, I love the community here.I'm usually too lazy to write reviews, but I genuinely think Pure MVMT deserves this. If you relate to any of my experiences above, I highly urge you to give them a try. Oh, and super affordable too!

I did a 7 day trial at Pure MVMT as I've always wanted to get into calisthenics but never found a gym that offered or specialized in it. From the moment I walked in, Rowy and Dom were so welcoming and accomodating to my beginner level strength. The team at Pure MVMT have built such an amazing, tight-knit community of like-minded individuals who just want to get stronger and do something other than just lift weights and do static movements. I'm definitely going to be joining up and would highly recommend anyone to do a trial and join up also!

Fantastic gym. Love their expertise and results. Wish I was more committed with my time as I really loved their mobility classes. I’d also would like to do handstands. Hard to find such specialist training that they offer.

I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to take their fitness journey to the next level. Dom and Rowy are extremely knowledgeable and passionate, they continue to go above and beyond to make every class as effective as possible and adapt the requirements for people of all skill levels. They have a great understanding of challenging each member to get the most out of their workout and they also provide an incredible amount of encouragement and support to help you reach your goals. As someone who was previously not confident at the gym, I have seen a significant improvement in my skillset and overall confidence thanks to this gym. It's not your standard gym, it's truly something special!

Pure Mvmt is a very welcoming and fun community. I have also seen huge improvements in my strength in just a few months and I am hooked!

I have been meaning to write the review for ages.On a small stint working away down in Melbourne, I wanted to start my journey into Calisthenics.I rang up and the staff were extremely helpful. I attended several handstand classes and several ring classes.During my time at this gym I learnt a lot of new ways, of increasing body strength and the correct technique.I would definitely recommend you giving it a go if your looking into the world of Calisthenics.

I have always wanted to try calisthenics but couldn’t find a place that catered to a newbie like me until a good friend directed me to pureMVMT. Such a beginner friendly gym for anyone wanting to start calisthenics or challenge themselves with body weight workouts. The gym is so clean and such a comfortable environment to be in. Rowy and Dom are so knowledgeable and really tailor the workouts to meet your level of strength/fitness. They always take the time to listen and understand how to help you improve. If you are someone looking to build good foundation of strength and do it the right way, this is the place for you.

I started my calisthenics journey at the start of 2023 with Rowy and Dom and I can safely say that they have exceeded any expectations I had beforehand. In just under 2 months, I’ve been able to achieve things I would see scrolling through feeds on social media for calisthenics and only dream of being able to do. However, at The Playground, the support from the coaches is second to none! They teach good form, scale down exercises to tailor the workout for you personally, and most importantly, the environment is so supportive and friendly. There’s no judgement - everyone wants the best for each other. If you’re even the slightest interested in calisthenics and want good quality coaching, I urge you to give it a shot because it’s the best decision I’ve made going into the year!
