Why it's worth checking out

MyFirstGym Fyshwick is a children’s fitness club built around movement, play and confidence rather than a traditional adult gym format. The club caters for children from around seven months to 15 years, with more than 60 classes on its timetable. Activities named on the site include martial arts, dance, gymnastics, Ninja Warrior, parkour and the MFGFit functional training program for children aged eight and over.

There is a broad mix of age-appropriate sessions. Baby Explorers, for ages seven to 12 months, focuses on early motor skills, coordination, balance and spatial awareness. Jumping Joeys is designed for two-year-olds and combines play and social interaction with fine and gross motor development, while Energetic Emus supports three-year-olds with balance, strength, coordination and body awareness. Older children can try Gymnastics, which develops balance, strength and flexibility, or Ninja Warrior, where they work through obstacles while practising movement and decision-making skills.

The club’s approach is centred on making exercise enjoyable and helping children build practical skills. Classes are led by professional coaches, with the site describing a positive, supportive environment focused on confidence, teamwork, problem-solving, coordination and strength. Parents can watch from the lounge, where tea and coffee are provided, while members also have access to supervised-by-parents free play sessions outside class availability. The club recommends that families arrive early for a first visit so children can meet the coaches and look around.

The Fyshwick team includes Coach Hardy, who works across gymnastics, ninja, parkour and junior development classes, and Coach Abbey, one of the gymnastics coaches who also helps with birthday parties. Beyond regular classes, the venue runs children’s birthday parties with a party host and MFG coach, as well as school holiday programs built around activities such as tumbling, obstacle courses, team challenges and Nerf battles. Date Night events give children aged four and over an evening of games, challenges and a Ninja course while parents take time out. With its mix of classes, free play, parties and holiday activities, MyFirstGym Fyshwick suits families looking for an active routine, a first introduction to organised movement or a supervised activity for a special occasion.
