We understand new environments can be overwhelming for children with ADHD or Autism, especially with crowds, bright lights, or loud music. That is why our classes are limited to five children. We dim the lights and use calming music to create a comfortable space. For the entire hour, no other classes are running, ensuring your child has our full attention and the whole facility to themselves. Parents are welcome to join in the session.
Our kids fitness classes at Eltham Functional Fitness focus on helping children develop physical fitness, strength, and coordination through engaging, fun activities. We incorporate elements like adapted weightlifting and functional movements designed for varied abilities. By enrolling in our program, your child will build a strong foundation that supports healthy growth and development, all within a safe and inclusive environment.
Our classes provide a valuable opportunity for children to interact with their peers within a positive, supportive setting. Through engaging group fitness activities and playful exercises, your child will naturally develop essential social skills and grow increasingly confident. This empowers them to navigate various situations, helping them connect more effectively in both school and social environments. Our program fosters communication, teamwork, and self-assurance in a fun, active way.
Each class is structured to ensure children have fun while developing essential fitness skills. The program is designed to be enjoyable, with playful cooldowns and engaging activities that make it easier for your child to build healthy habits early on. Functional training for kids offers long-term benefits by promoting a love for physical activity from a young age. For parents, we also offer adult functional fitness classes, allowing the whole family to stay active and healthy.
We create a supportive environment where children can safely confront minor stressors. Activities such as controlled climbing, invigorating conditioning exercises, or participation in group games are designed to gently push boundaries. This consistent, guided exposure helps children develop stronger self-regulation skills. Our coach possesses direct experience in assisting kids through these challenges, promoting enhanced stress resistance and mental resilience in a compassionate setting.
We are dedicated to making our specialised neurodivergent kids' functional fitness programs accessible. If your child has an active National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan, our sessions are designed to be fully claimable, helping families access essential developmental support without significant out-of-pocket costs. These focused, one-hour sessions cater to individual needs within our small group environment, promoting physical growth and confidence. We maintain a transparent rate of $90 per hour for these classes, allowing you to easily manage your NDIS funding. Utilising your NDIS plan for our programs empowers your child's journey towards greater strength, coordination, and overall well-being.
We understand that fixed schedules may not always align perfectly with your family's needs. If our regular Wednesday 4:15 PM session does not suit your schedule, we offer the flexibility of booking a private functional fitness session with our experienced coach. These personalised sessions can be entirely tailored to your child's specific requirements and pace. To share the cost and enhance the social aspect, you are welcome to invite other children to join your private session, forming a small, custom group. You can easily arrange your private booking directly via
