Services are provided by Accredited Exercise Physiologists &/or Exercise Scientists – experts in using exercise for health.

We provide all abilities and inclusive exercise programs that provide a positive exercise experience for all kids and young people.

We aim to build physical literacy (e.g., fitness, strength, skills), increased motivation and confidence, and improve health in a fun and supportive way so that all young people have a positive experience with exercise.

Our kids and teens programs are open to all kids and young people from the age of 5 – 16, but we specialise in providing services for young people:

seeking a positive and confidence building experience of exercise and sport, or
unable to participate in community or school activities, or
needing additional support to engage in activity.

Our team can support a variety of young people including those with poor or delayed movement skills; behavioural, developmental or social challenges (e.g. non-verbal, social or activity anxiety); neurodevelopmental conditions (i.e., Autism, ADHD, sensory difficulties); mental health conditions (e.g., Anxiety); musculoskeletal conditions; and other complex juvenile conditions.

Services are available at various locations across Perth including:

Specific services available include:

1-on-1 Sessions

Working 1-on-1 with a Thriving Instructor. Sessions are tailored to the goals, developmental stage and preferences of the young person or family. Pre- and post assessments are built into the sessions, along with end of term reports for families or referrers.

Group - Strength & Fitness

Tailored specifically for young people to build their gym and movement literacy, muscle strength and confidence to be active. Sessions are conducted in a small group environment and parents/guardians have the option to participate in alongside their young person.
