The Wild Movement

The Wild Movement gym is exactly what I was looking for! The whole team is very professional, supportive, and fun! - They know what they are doing which makes them stand out too! :))

LOVE my gym!I’ve been a member for a year now and the improvements in my strength, fitness, body composition and overall feeling about myself is out of this world.Small classes, accountability and the BEST coaches. Do yourself a favour and check it out.Highly recommend.

I have been going to Wild Movement for almost 2 years with some breaks. I love this gym and all the coaches! It has a friendly atmosphere and well organized classes with plenty of variety.

My experience at The Wild Movement has been amazing and I could not recommend it enough . Luke has such a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for helping people in their health and fitness journey and the team he has around him are all fantastic.They helped me through a year of chronic back pain , tailoring my training to suit my rehab and now I am back stronger than ever . Without their help it would have been easy to give up on fitness .

TWM changed my life. I’m fitter than i have been since my late teens and i move better than i ever have. Luke and his team have created something special here. Luke genuinely cares about each member and shows it everyday in how he interacts with members. It’s an organisation that puts your health before everything else. The two things that first struck me when I initially joined where that everyone is so friendly, welcoming and respectful and that it’s the only gym I’ve ever been to that has no mirrors! Like i said it’s about health and happiness first.

I had been 'thinking' about increasing my strenght in particular and my overall fitness generally for longer than I care to admit.I answered a questionaire and was contacted by Hollie at Wild Fit and decided to take them up on their paid 21 day trial. I am so glad I did. I am not really a 'gym' person, I am kinda yin in my approach to excerise and gyms do intimidate me. I am on the 'lightweight' side of things but they have never made me feel anyting less than able. All the crew know my name, including the owner Luke, AND they use it as well, so I feel very much at home. I love the small group fitness approach and I am confident I have found my gym peeps.I am a Coach myself and understand the value of a structure that keeps you accountable to your goals. Otherwise they are just well meaning wishes. Do yourself a favour and give these guys a go.Cheers,TanjaYou'll be glad you did.

Great programs with progressions that help with skill acquisition. Coaches are experienced and most excellent - knowledgeable, accommodating and approachable. Class attendees are friendly and encouraging. I've progressed a lot. So glad I made the change to The Wild Movement (my handstands are definitely improving)

The Wild Movement has been life changing for me. Professional and skilled coaches who genuinely care about their members have created a safe space for training people of all abilities. Due to a sedentary lifestyle my fitness level was very poor in my late 50s. I emailed Luke, he got back to me less than an hour later and I started my journey to good health and confidence under the guidance and encouragement of qualified trainers. Nearly 3 years on I’m stronger and have more stamina. The Wild Movement isn’t just a gym, it’s a community dedicated to encouraging people to live their lives well.

I meant to write this review moons ago, it’s better late than never, so here it is…Prior here, I hadn't really been to a gym - it wasn't really my thing. I wouldn’t be able to tell you the difference between deadlift and bench press. But I wanted to get some upper body strength to complement other sports/exercises I was doing, so I reached out and signed up here for a trial. At the initial consult with Luke, the barbell on its own felt so heavy, but we put more weight plates on - what? really? I was a fish out of the water!At the end of the trial, I wasn’t completely sure if it was the right thing for me. Luke and Alex were excellent coaches, always explained the classes very well, demonstrated the lift techniques and explained the bracing, cued the muscles to be activated. I felt totally supported and was never lost. Other members were so friendly, so welcoming and so encouraging at each session even though I was a total unfit, weak newbie. I decided to stick around and see if I still liked it after a couple of months.That was nearly 5 years ago…Today I’m still training here. Loving the strength as well as skill sessions! Strength sessions are lifts with barbells and finish with conditioning. Skills are calisthenics on bar, parallettes or rings – aka play time – to hang about and be upside down. Sessions are challenging - I honestly have never worked so hard physically. When I feel like I am about to die in conditioning, my limbs are about to drop off, the lactic acid is killing me, the coach is there to cheer on and support. All coaches are high calibre, so knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, they practice what they coach. Most of all, they’re authentic human! I only train from the best, I mean, why wouldn’t I? They make the sessions less daunting! I had on/off knee injuries/pain over the years, and they were modifying exercises for me so I could still train.Sessions, as I mentioned, are challenging but scalable to any ability and I can get through them - maybe because I was sweating it out (and swearing, laughing, whinging) with a bunch of amazing, good human and some of their adorable doggos! There’s something about sharing the pain with a group of people. I’m still sensing the same positive energy from the amazing people that I felt at my trial years ago.Ending my training week with infrared sauna/ice bath session has been so good for relaxation and recovery - it's a nice weekly challenge for me to be uncomfortable at the extremes. What's more, I've attended many nutrition, cooking, training/technique workshops that were put up for free. These were bonus, applicable info that I've found useful.Did I get some upper body strength that I was here for initially? Absolutely, and so much more! I couldn’t hang on a bar with comfort when I first started, today I can do 10 chin-ups! I may weigh the same as I was when I first walked in, but I’ve certainly dropped fat and gained muscles. What’s really resonates with me here is that good health is beyond physical, training also works wonder on the mental and emotion sides of us. Conditioning/aerobic puts me in my discomfort zone constantly so my mental and endurance capacities have broadened. I thought running half marathons were hard, but fighting through the burns on the assault bike was another level! The number of times I told myself to breathe through another cal were mindful moments for me. As for my on/off knee issues, I have to say they are in really good shapes, I know what to avoid. I have no knee pain, and have gained enough strength to support the knees for full pistol squats.
