Northside Movement We at Northside Movement set out to build a training community of like-minded individuals in a space that would enable them to thrive.

We are a place people can connect, advance and belong. We offer both Small Group & Personal Training.

Want the secret ingredient that will have you absolutely firing on race day for Melbourne Hyrox this September?

Well, firstly we will tell you what it’s not.

The damper setting on the skierg..
The speed you rip the foot straps off the rower..
Or the fancy spin move on the corners of the farmers carry to shave off .05 seconds off your total time.

These sort of matter (maybe not the spin move), but they aren’t the rocks.

The rocks are the big, weighty bastards that truly move the needle from game day.

The real secret ingredient, can’t be displayed with a fancy video on the gram.

The real secret ingredient, is patience.

Can you give yourself room to build into.

Can you play the long game and work on incremental improvement week to week rather than launching out of the gates for your training block like you’re coming out of the Red Bull starting shoot 2 months before the race.

We all need to remind ourselves, nothing happens off the back of a singular session.

It’s about the accumulative load. It’s about the repetition. It’s about giving the body what it needs to change and the necessary space so that it can.

A recent study showed that Hyrox has the second highest percentage of participants who experienced an injury.
Yes.. higher than kickboxing, running and strength training.

And the quickest way to join the club is to go too big, too quickly.

60 Days to go.

We are mapping this out and plenty more this Sunday at the studio at 8am.

If you’d like to join us to nut out your training plan - flick us a message or book in via Momence.

Oh.. and if you want another rock.. please go work on becoming a better runner. It will serve you nothing but good for the upcoming event.

There were MANY Milestones over the last couple of months and we’ve almost finished writing up the congratulatory postcards.

Call us old fashioned.. but there’s something nice about giving someone a post guard with our questionable hand writing + genuine message.

The milestones were created to recognise the long game players.
The people that continue to get it done, week after week.

Before we get to the HOF - a huge shoutout to everyone that has reached 16, 50, 100, 500 and even 1000 sessions during this period.

Your cards, vintage mugs, trendy t-shirts and banners will all be ready very soon!

At 250 sessions, they reach the HALL OF FAME.
And trust us when we say.. the real estate in there is getting tighter than the Melbourne rental market.

When we mapped this all out years ago, we thought go big.
Big photo. Big frame. For a big moment.

Now that we’re continuing to extend our message further and further that this game of getting fit, building strength and staying active is a lifelong pursuit..
Well, let’s just say we’re lucky it’s a big hallway.

Congratulations to the following individuals who have officially made it. You are all HALL OF FAME STARS.

Catherine Morey-Naise
Lavania Parker
Leah
Claire Counsell
Clare Lawrence
Caroline Smith
Simon Platt
Drew Meredith
Esther

We’ll be sneakily snapping an action shot or diving deep into our 10 years worth of studio photographs to find the one and we will have it installed.. soon.

Keep kicking arse good people 🙌

Every Monday + Friday we run a Group Session @ 6:30am called Move Well.

It’s our interpretation of the Functional Range Conditioning framework blended with some other ideas around how our bodies work and without tooting our own horn too loud.. a game changer.

It’s had different versions in its time, but we’ve landed on something we think will stay.. at least for a while.

General Warm Up - Usually focused on spinal segmentation and getting the hips going.
Fascial Release - Either a little massage ball / foam roller (or both) to calm down some areas that need a little TLC.

And then.. we focus.

One joint.

The goal?

Create a joint that feels.. juicy.

Yep. A juicy joint.

One that glides.
One that makes you feel like the clock isn’t totally against you.
One that means you can burn the aged care brochure you’ve been holding onto because your body has been feeling old.

That kind of juicy.

Oh.. and if you scroll through, you’ll find the 5 things we’re currently doing on a Monday to get the hips open.

It starts with a 2 minute butterfly stretch. Un**es mandatory. Yoga block if you’re a tight bastard.

Scroll 👉

Then.. 90/90 Position - 6 Rear Leg External Rotations to end range.

👉

Follow by 90/90 Position - 6 x Rear Leg External Rotation 5 second ISO Holds w/ Torso Rotation towards the front leg.

👉

Then.. 90/90 Position - 6 x Front Leg External Rotation Passive Range Eccentrics. Side-pose-zoolander-style lean necessary.

👉

Finish off the juicing of your joint with Butterfly Pails Rails.. 60sec Stretch Followed by 10 seconds PAILS (Press knee’s up into hands HARD) and 10 seconds RAILS (open knee’s away from hands with the objective of trying to create a “gap” or finding MORE external R.O.M.)

Enjoy the juiciness.
And getting your hip back in working order.

Term 4 is just around that corner and that means Young Athletes is back!

On Tuesday the 6th of October - Coach Finn M-W | Rugby League S&C is primed to deliver absolute gold.

The goal?

To help 12-15* year olds move well, get strong and back themselves!
*Younger & Older students may be accepted where appropriate

Now.. we’re not going to claim that the program is the sole reason that..

“Chris dunked on that dude last season..”
Or that
“Harry scored a hat trick..”
Or that
“Annika could probably beat both of her brothers in an arm wrestle..”

But, we know what we did has certainly contributed.

Here are the details:
- Term - 10 Weeks - Tuesday 6th October > Tuesday 15th December
- Cost - $250 for the term (Paid upfront before the term begins)
- The first session is free to see if it’s a good fit :)

So. Here’s how to get your young one involved.

If you or your young athlete has participated before?

Go to the link in our bio and sign up for the Semester (Please make sure you select that you are registering your child and not yourself upon registration).

If you or your young athlete hasn’t participated before but would like to come in to see what it’s all about?

Flick us a message and we’ll book them in for their first session for free!

Our Hyrox Training Program (aka SQUAD) is starting Sunday the 11th of October and we are pumped!

With HYROX Australia & New Zealand Melbourne less than 10 weeks away.. it’s time to lock in.

Last year we saw MANY Northsiders put in an incredible 2 months of training fun and all of them did a stellar job on the day.

As for the training.. well.. it was fun, sweaty, playful, gruelling and we’re pumped to do it all again.

The only question is.. will there be a repeat of “that Saturday” where we were lucky enough to spend the entire session in the rain? Fingers crossed!

We’re kicking things off on Sunday the 11th of October with a Workshop + Relay.

The workshop to help you better understand of how to prepare for the upcoming event.
The relay to set the tone for what’s ahead.

It’s FREE and you can book in via the link in our bio or on Momence :)

These 2 super humans are all set for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship tomorrow morning.

They have successfully eaten their way through Paris, Marseille & Nice over the last 7 days and are well and truly fuelled up. Cheese is performance food.. oui?

Chapeau to you both for putting in hours upon hours of training, showing incredible patience and all so you can get out there and give it your absolute best.

We’re all incredibly proud of you both.

6 Years ago.. we closed the doors.

It was 2020, the year of that big global event which feels like a weird distant memory.

This is where we had to go all in at a time where we couldn’t use our studio at all.

There were garage training sessions, many zoom workouts, hundreds of donkey kicks and burpees and of course.. daily choc chip cookies. 🍪

On Friday the 23rd of October we’re celebrating 10 Years of Northside with our Fairfield Soiree down at Curious Alice (A wicked function space opposite Fairfield Station).

If you’ve been involved with the original Pride Athletic or our second (and current) edition called Northside Movement - we’ve love to celebrate with you.

🎟 Tickets available via the link in bio.

Oh.. and if you can’t make THE SOIREE - there is also a limited edition Not Done Yet T-Shirt available via pre-order until this Sunday!

It’s here.
Springtime.
The weather shifts, the days extend and the energy starts to flow once again.

If you let the training slip a little through Winter? It happens. Move on.

Letting it slip through Spring? Wouldn’t think so.

And if the shift in seasons hasn’t got you off the couch and ready to move.. here’s one very important reminder of how your body actually works.

You rent muscle mass. You don’t buy it. A wonderful line shared by Dr Tony Boutagy the other day.

And fortunately, the rental market for muscle is a whole lot easier to navigate than the Melbourne property market right now.

It starts with a minimum of 2 sessions a week of focused, muscle promoting, anti-ageing, can’t buy this s**t in a pill, essential, progressive, and well thought out strength sessions per week.

If you’re ready to get back into it, our 14 Day Intro Group Training Pass is available for $98.
