Fantastic experience: Excellent personalised diagnosis and treatment. Realistic and effective rehab exercise programmes

Fantastic experience: A quick review after completing Surf Fit at Active+. Although I have participated in previous fitness classes before, this was my first time attending a class run by health practitioners in the physio industry. I was delighted how much of a difference this made. Having both Jono and Brady facilitate the class was invaluable. They both ensured that the group were well informed, supported and challenged. Their knowledge of the body, funny instructional videos, hype music, ability to connect, teach and create an environment that felt welcoming and safe was really felt. Initially I was nervous to participate in a targeted fitness class outside the gym and using equipment and exercises I wasn’t familiar with, however I’m so glad I did. Not only has my surfing improved but my confidence. Thanks team, you guys are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Completion of SURF FIT CLASS 2023. I can't believe it's been 8 weeks since I started the Surf Fit class, and let me tell you, the transformation in my body and surfing skills has been nothing short of remarkable. This class has been a game-changer for me, and I can't wait to share my experience with you. First and foremost, Surf Fit has significantly improved my balance, speed, and agility. As a surfer, these are crucial aspects of riding the waves, and I can now confidently say that I feel more in tune with my board and the water than ever before. The combination of functional movements tailored specifically for surfing has been instrumental in enhancing my on-board performance. Strength is another area where I've seen tremendous progress. The structured workout routines in each class pushed me to my limits and beyond. The HIIT format, with challenging breaks between sets, ensured that my muscles were constantly engaged and tested. I've noticed a considerable increase in my overall strength, particularly in my core and upper body, which are essential for paddling and maintaining balance on the board. One of the standout features of Surf Fit is the focus on fluidity and primal movements. These exercises not only challenged my body but also added an element of fun and novelty to the workouts. It felt like I was reconnecting with my body's natural movements, which is invaluable for improving my surfing technique. The class structure was well thought out and comprehensive. Each session began with a thorough warm-up that got the blood flowing and prepared my body for the upcoming challenges. After the intense workout portion, the cool-downs were a godsend. They included a combination of PNF, dynamic, and static stretches, along with myofascial release using foam rollers. These post-workout stretches and releases greatly contributed to my recovery and helped reduce muscle soreness. What sets Surf Fit apart from many other fitness classes is the attention to individual fitness levels. Every exercise had a variation to accommodate different fitness levels, ensuring that everyone could participate and progress at their own pace. The presence of two physiotherapists during the classes added an extra layer of reassurance. They were always available to provide guidance, correct form, and ensure that we were using the right techniques to prevent injuries. In conclusion, Surf Fit has been a transformative experience for me. It's not just a fitness class; it's a holistic program designed to enhance every aspect of your surfing abilities. After 8 weeks, I can confidently say that I'm a stronger, more agile, and more balanced surfer. I'm grateful for the incredible instructors, the variety of exercises, and the supportive community that Surf Fit has provided. If you're looking to up your surf game and improve your overall fitness, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Surf Fit a try. You won't be disappointed. Oh those Navy Seals! ???? Richie M SURF FIT CLASS Winter 20/07 2023. Dear Brady & Jono, I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the incredible surf fit class yesterday. It was an amazing experience, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. The way you guys focused on introducing new exercises was fantastic, and I'm eager to incorporate them into my training regime. I can already feel the benefits that this class will bring to my overall fitness, especially in terms of speed, agility, flexibility, balance, and, of course, my surf fitness. The post-cooldown was intense, but it paid off immensely—I woke up this morning feeling fantastic, with no tightness in my body. Well done! I'm eagerly looking forward to our second class and catching up with you guys and the rest of the team. Your dedication and passion for what you do are truly inspiring. Thank you again for the wonderful session! Gratefully, Richie/ Sharky.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Appointments were easy to book with front desk staff, and the physio team looked after and helped me manage my recovery every step of the way. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Wow what a great bunch of people working here. I have to say Lauren has helped me so much with my rehabilitation and has so much knowledge. She knows how far to push me. I was not in a good space until she took over my care. Definitely need to hang on to staff like her. Active plus is very lucky to her and is a credit to the organisation.
