Shoshin Movement Studio

"I had such a great experience at Shoshin Movement while in town visiting. I'm a handbalancing enthusiast and was so excited to see they offer the style of calisthenics and handstand training that I'm used to (from the U.S.). I took classes from almost every coach and they were all fantastic. I was very impressed by the programming and dedication to their students. The coaches were knowledgeable and professional, appropriately challenging to your personal skill level, and very encouraging. I would HIGHLY recommend to any and all fitness levels. Thank you, Shoshin, for such an amazing two weeks! I wish I could bring your gym and community home with me!!"

"The training programs/ progressions at Shoshin are highly effective. I've noticed a huge difference in my one-legged squat after only a month. The community is very supportive and welcoming. Training at Shoshin also helped me rehab my joints and muscles after pregnancy so I was able to train for and run a half-marathon 6 months after giving birth without sustaining an injury. Try the intro offer! It's worth it."

"I had an amazing time with the Shoshin movement crew! I was there for a short period of time due to be an intern in the hospital and the team there welcomed me with open arms. All the trainers are awesome and they offer a variety of classes for all levels. The give you clear instructions and tech you the fundamentals of movement. I grew my handstand practice in a matter of weeks! It's not just about handstands, their classes for strength and movement are great too. I am upset that my stay was only for a month. All the best!"

"best movement gym in QLD! I came to Cairns to explore the many natural wonders of the region but ended up spending my whole 2 weeks in town because I couldn't get enough of the training. Dave and Will are both excellent teachers and coaches which is seen clearly in the results of their students. I was amazed at the average skill level in the handstand class. And this wasn't because it was a room full of 20 year old gymnasts. Quite the opposite! Young and old, male and female. athletic background or no everyone was getting upside down. It's a testament to the method to see such competency across the board. It's a no ego, intelligent and structured approach to learning handstands and the results speak for themselves. On top of that they also offer mobility, strength and kettlebell classes to keep you limber as a willow, supple as a leopard and strong as a lion. To top it all off, everyone is super friendly and the place has an awesome community feel. Couldn't recommend it more highly for anyone wanting to try a new approach to fitness and find more freedom in their body. Can't wait to come back and train with these guys again. May the gainz be with you! Pesche"

"I have been going to Shoshin Movement for about nine months now and I am really enjoying the results to date. I joined as I was recovering from a hamstring injury that I believe was a result of years of running and no stretching as well as my limited mobility. Initially I joined as I was keen to try the mobility classes and had heard that the classes at Shoshin were really good for improving this. Since starting, I have been doing a combination of the mobility and strength classes and I feel that my hamstring injury has improved almost to a full recovery and my mobility and strength in general has improved a lot. Dave pushes to you work hard but is big on technique and always makes sure that you are training safely. I would definitely recommend trying Shoshin Movement to improve mobility and strength."
