Private Training in Docklands, VIC

Functional fitness involves exercises that improve your body’s natural movement patterns to boost strength, balance, flexibility, and agility for everyday tasks. Examples include strength exercises like squats, deadlifts, and presses, as well as bodyweight movements like pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups. It also includes running, jumping, and throwing, along with cardiovascular exercises like running, rowing, and biking.

Our workout programs are adjusted to your capabilities each time you come in. We make sure that you are able to perform the movements safely and you are able to achieve the intended purpose of each workout. You will be coached every step of the way!

This is a misconception. The practice of mindfulness meditation is not to stop us from thinking. In fact some may say that it isn’t possible to completely stop the mind from thinking. What we practice is a gentle awareness of the thoughts and emotions that appear during our practice. We practice bringing our focus back to the present moment every time we notice that we have become distracted. The practice is to come back time and again in a gentle and mindful manner. It is not about stopping thought.

Everything we do in our meditation sessions is an invitation. You don’t have to force yourself to sit through anything if it is too much and too overwhelming. Although your meditation teacher may be guiding you through the session, you are in complete control of your experience. You may take a break any time you wish and you may stop the session if it feels right for you. We are here to lend any support you need.

Make sure you have changed your clothes from functional fitness session. Bring a yoga mat if you have one, a journal, drink bottle, and most of all an open mind ready to experience the present moment.

Mindfulness meditation is a nonsecular practice that helps you become more aware of your thought and emotional patterns. We use techniques like visualisation, sound, breath, inquiry, and chanting to help you become aware of the present moment and develop a compassionate relationship with your thoughts and emotions. This practice fosters greater self-awareness and emotional clarity.

Our Starter Journey is designed for those that are beginning their training. This immersive 8 week experience includes taking your baseline measurements including a mobility screening, cardiovascular capacity screening, body composition, as well as your current lifestyle habits. From there we set your short, medium and long term goals together. You will be coached according to your capabilities every session you come in to train. You will be supported and held accountable to creating the habits and patterns that will bring you towards achieving your goals.

In our mindfulness meditation classes, everything is an invitation. You don’t have to stay completely still—your teacher will offer different positions to try, and you’re welcome to change positions or gently sway or rock if that feels comfortable.

Come to the session dressed in your workout gear and sports shoes. Bring a sweat towel and a drink bottle. Please bring a change of clothes for after training as our functional fitness fitness class go back to back with our mindfulness meditation class.

At Habitat Mind Body, our functional fitness training sessions are designed to challenge and support you in achieving real, measurable fitness improvements. Here’s what you can expect from a typical session: 1. Program with Purpose: Every session is built around a specific focus and is part of a varied program designed to improve general physical preparedness. This means real, sustainable progress across all areas of fitness. 2. Coaching and Customization: Your coach will explain the intended stimulus of the day’s program and demonstrate the movements involved. They’ll also provide personalized adjustments to ensure every workout is both effective and safe for your individual needs. 3. Mindful Breathing: Each session begins with a mindful breathing exercise. This creates space for you to be present, grounded, and ready to engage fully in the training ahead. 4. Warm-Up Phases: General Warm-Up: A series of movements to increase your core body temperature and bring your body through its full range of motion. Specific Warm-Up: Focused exercises to gradually prepare your mind and body for the technical and physical demands of the day’s workout. 5. Main Workout: The core of the session includes a mix of strength training, gymnastics, athletics, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, kettlebell work, and conditioning. You will train across various time domains, developing strength, endurance, and skill in a wide variety of fitness disciplines. 6. Recovery and Breathwork: Each session ends with mindful stretching and recovery-focused breathwork. This helps transition your central nervous system to a parasympathetic state ("rest and digest"), promoting recovery and preparing you to return to your daily activities or unwind at home. Our sessions are thoughtfully crafted to provide a balanced experience, combining physical challenge with mindful practices for optimal performance and recovery.
