Mind & Body Support was founded by Jim, a disability support worker with more than 15 years of involvement in the fitness industry and experience supporting people of different ages and abilities since 2020.
Jim holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and is currently completing his Certificate III and IV in Fitness and Personal Training. His background brings together disability support, an understanding of behaviour and wellbeing, and a long-standing passion for health, fitness and movement.
Having worked across schools, community programs and one-on-one disability supports, Jim understands that exercise is not one-size-fits-all. Personal training is approached with the same individual focus as every Mind & Body Support service, taking the time to understand each person’s abilities, interests, confidence, support needs and goals.
Improve movement, mobility, and physical confidence through personalised support.
Exercise can help improve mood, motivation, and emotional well-being.
Develop positive and sustainable fitness habits with ongoing encouragement.
Community-based fitness activities help build confidence and social engagement.
PERSONALISED EXERCISE SUPPORT
Disability personal training can be adapted for people with different abilities, levels of exercise experience and individual goals. Support is shaped around the person, helping make movement and physical activity more accessible, achievable and enjoyable.
Exercise adapted around individual abilities, preferences and goals, whether the focus is strength, fitness, movement or simply becoming more active.
Support to build confidence with movement, exercise and physical activity in a way that feels engaging, achievable and appropriate for the individual.
Start gradually with personalised guidance and exercises adapted to current ability, confidence and previous experience.
Develop greater confidence participating in exercise, following routines and becoming more comfortable in gym and physical activity environments.
Gradually rebuild an exercise routine after time away, with activities progressed according to individual confidence, ability and goals.
ADAPTIVE EXERCISE
There is no single exercise program that works for everyone. Our approach starts with the individual and adapts exercise around their abilities, goals, interests, pace and environment.
We start with what you can currently do. Exercises can be adapted or modified to suit your movement, ability and level of exercise experience.
Your program can be shaped around goals such as developing strength, improving general fitness, building movement confidence, establishing an exercise routine or participating more regularly in physical activity.
Exercise is easier to engage with when it includes activities you actually enjoy. Where possible, sessions are shaped around your interests and preferred ways of being active.
There is no need to keep up with a standard program. Activities can be introduced gradually and progressed as your confidence, experience and abilities develop.
The environment can make a big difference to how comfortable someone feels exercising. We consider the setting, equipment, level of support and other factors that can help make exercise more accessible and enjoyable.
Create an exercise experience that works with the individual — not expect the individual to fit a standard program.
