Movement Improvement Fitness

Fantastic experience: I suffered a shoulder injury at the end of 2022 and needed two surgeries and a lot of physio to get back to normal. I discovered Wayne's gym mid-2024 after spinning my wheels at Fitness First for 6 months trying to build back some muscle and strength. He has helped me to go from barely functional movement, to having strong and stable shoulders. After 6 months of training a 3 days a week, I could do 10 unassisted pull-ups and bench press my own bodyweight. I've also unlocked my lower body mobility to squat to full depth under load, and worked through some imbalances in my lower back. It's a fantastic space with heaps of room to set up for multiple exercises. I love the hard flooring in the power racks for stability and the big foam mats for warming up and doing mobility work. There are a multitude of bands, elastics, grips to attach to the cable machine, bars to hang from, kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells and even multiple weighted sleds. He's very flexible with timing and availability, and always good for a chat!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the best experience working at Movement Improvment Fitness with Wayne. Have strengthened my knee after a long term injury and feel excited about exercise again. I’ve become so much stronger after training 3 times a week. Wayne knows what he is doing and easily changes exercises to suit the day, or strengthen a muscle that feels a bit weak for a particular exercise. Also I love playing my own music each session. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Wayne has been outstanding. I hadn’t been in the gym in years and was struggling to get motivated to get back in. I also had some back, hip and knee issues. Wayne built me a personalised program and has quickly got me up and running and confident/motivated. I’m 4 months in and already noticing results.

Fantastic experience: Training that is tailored to you, it’s so great to work with someone who backs up every exercise with detailed explanations of how each one is helping your specific needs. Bonus - the whole experience is one on one. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! Wayne is absolutely fantastic. I went to him after a long period of illness where I was bed ridden, lost all my strength and could barely walk. He created training programs adapted to me, my abilities and limitations. After 18 months, I'm stronger than I've ever been, I'm learning new techniques every time, I'm more motivated, and I'm even able to run! Training with him has been life changing and I'm still amazed every time by how much I've accomplished. His dedication to my health and encouragements at every session has helped me so much.

Fantastic experience: I’ve got more from training with Wayne than any other trainer or gym. My posture as well as strength and functional fitness has improved heaps, and I’m really enjoying the variety , innovation and personal focus that Wayne offers. His gym is equipped with everything so I never get bored, and am actually enjoying working out.

Fantastic experience: Wayne is a calm, efficient and effective personal trainer. He`ll listen, plan for what you need and work with you to achieve your goals. He`s a team player, with a great taste in music. I`d highly recommend him as a human being and personal trainer. He`s one of the best personal trainers I`ve ever had.

Fantastic experience: Movement Improvement Fitness has been an excellent experience for me, Wayne Rohe first finds out where you're coming from and where you want to go, and tailors the workout for maximum effect. Injury is taken seriously, and recovery is never rushed or overlooked. I recommend him to anyone for his professional attitude and light hearted nature

Fantastic experience: I started training with Wayne 2 months ago and the sessions are always a highlight in my week. The space is very welcoming to people like myself with no gym experience. He is very flexible and accomodating our family. He brings a high level of expertise which is helping me achieve my fitness goals

Fantastic experience: This is the best thing I have ever done in my life. I have been attending for the last 4 & a half years. This is the best equipped, cleanest and non intimidating gym I have been to. Wayne has changed my level of fitness but more importantly my body function. I now have better posture, core strength, overall body strength and flexibility. I function so much better on a whole and have never felt better in my life. This is an investment in my future health and is the lifestyle choice I must do to remain healthy with the ability to function appropriately in my later years. Wayne is non-judgemental and provides encouragement and pushes me to improve each session but not to turn me off exercising. He also watches to ensure each exercise I complete is correct and corrects me if my technique is lagging. It is reassuring to know I won't create an injury. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in improving their fitness. The added bonus you will gain from having Wayne as your personal trainer, is the wholistic approach to exercise and the careful individualised program that meets your requirements. You will definitely feel the benefits across your life. Can't recommend this place enough. Wayne's easy going attitude, attention to detail for your needs, incredible knowledge of body mechanics and how each muscle functions along with his great sense of humour makes the sessions so enjoyable. Can't thank you enough Wayne.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend one-on-one training with Wayne. His gym setup is excellent, with all the equipment you could want and better still, the knowledge to help you best use each piece of equipment. The workouts are specific to my areas of concern and my goals (and past injuries) and are interesting and challenging. Better than any gym experience I've had to date.

Fantastic experience: It is without hesitation I recommend Wayne as a One on One Personal Trainer. With his knowledge, encouragement and by following an individually tailored exercise plan designed by Wayne, I have been rewarded with relief from my long standing shoulder pain. By regularly visiting the Movement Improvement Fitness well equipped gym I have greatly improved and then maintained my mobility, despite my advancing years. Janice Fields

Fantastic experience: Really happy to recommend Wayne and movement improvement fitness for people wanting to stay strong, active and well. Wayne puts his knowledge of how the body works and the impact of various injuries into developing personalised exercise regimes. He is generous with his time and makes exercise fun!

Fantastic experience: As a person who was desk bound for what seemed like eternity, I was unable to bend and stretch and generally get out and enjoy life. Wayne has the knowledge, tools and demeanour to curate a program that ensures you get back to your own ideal as quickly and efficiently as possible. As well as now being able to move correctly, I'm also getting stronger and feeling more positive. It's a very private and personal space - no large gym carry on here - just helpful and productive work; perfect if the gym is a struggle for you. It's also very clean! I'm very glad to have found Wayne's business.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the services provided by Wayne. Whether it’s rehabilitation from an injury, getting fit or serious cardio and weight training the team at MIF have you covered. Wayne has the resources to get you back on track, providing you with a lot of theoretical information about anatomy and biomechanics as you train. Great atmosphere and always a rewarding training session.

Fantastic experience: As an Osteopath, I have referred many of my patients to Wayne knowing they will benefit from Wayne's professionalism, experience and knowledge as a trainer.

Fantastic experience: Wayne’s professionalism & knowledge put me at ease from my first exercise session. The individually tailored program he created for me has resulted in me being virtually pain free after 6 weeks. Thank you Wayne for your continued encouragement & ongoing support to make me a fitter & more mobile person in my ‘senior years’.

Fantastic experience: I can not express clearly enough how much this service has changed my life for the better, from aches and pains to mental health, every aspect of my life is improved. Huge thanks for the caring, non judgmental, scientifically informed, top quality training.
