Why Choose CORE Gymball Classes?
CORE gymball classes are closely supervised exercise sessions run by a physiotherapist. CORE gymball classes offer a great general strengthening program for people of all ages and all levels of fitness. The small classes are professionally run in a beautiful studio and offer the highest level of care to every individual.
Our “core” refers to our deepest abdominal muscles, which support our spine. CORE gymball classes are designed to activate and strengthen our inner core muscles whilst at the same time working to strengthen our other muscles. The classes use gymballs, resistance bands, hand weights and medicine balls to provide a well-balanced workout with a strong focus on abdominal (stomach) and gluteal (bottom) muscle strength. Having a strong “core” can aid in prevention of back and neck pain and improve our ability to perform everyday activities without risk of injury. A strong core is also critical for improving athletic performance.
We also offer cardio classes run by physiotherapists. These classes combine boxing, light weights and strength work. These small classes also offer the exceptional supervision ensuring injuries are prevented and individual adjustments are made as required.
Why use a gymball?
Recent studies have shown that using a gymball to do abdominal training increases strength significantly faster than exercising on the floor. This is because the ball moves while you balance on it, making every muscle in your body work harder.
Don’t worry if you are new to using a gymball – there are lots of ways to make it easier. Class numbers are limited to ensure the exercises are tailored to suit you.

Testimonials
I started attending Core Gymball over 5 years ago and would not hesitate to recommend this class to anyone. The class is amazing and the instructors are both friendly and professional. Where else can you do a class and have a physio at your side to ensure you are doing things the right way! I have had three children and attended the classes throughout my pregnancies and from shortly after giving birth. I found the classes extremely helpful in strengthening my core, I loved that each term there was a focus on something new and found that each class was always different and worthwhile. All of this with the added benefit of having a health fund rebate makes the classes unique. Leona B
Core Gymball is an amazing class. I have played sport for years and am actively involved in sport now. Up until I attended Core Gymball I had on and off back pain. It was both frustrating and painful. By attending the class and learning from the amazing instructors I have stopped having back pain! Through Natasha's help and guidance I have strengthened my core and learned to exercise effectively without damaging my back. I continue to play sport and feel that if I had not attending gymball and fixed my core strength my back would have only got worse. My body has changed and I feel that I "hold" myself better and have much better posture since attending the class. Notwithstanding all the perks listed above it is also a really fun class with a great group of people! Jenny
I love the small classes and the warm, friendly atmosphere. It is always fun and I leave feeling lighter. I have never been an exercising person but gymball is something I do every week and really enjoy. I have never stuck at an exercise class for this long! Sandra
Before starting Core Gymball I couldn’t stand on the train to work without back pain. Now I have no back pain and I am strong enough to start boxing classes. I am forever grateful for your help. Sharon
The fact that all the instructors at Core Gymball are fully qualified Physiotherapists see us in good hands and they are able to direct participants to prevent injury and to be able to train without hurting existing conditions. Sue
Core Gymball classes involve a solid workout using most muscle groups and often pushes beyond the comfort zone (this is where improvements happen!), combined with the stretching component each week Core Gymball has allowed me to cycle and run with comfort and without injury (except for crashes!) for some years. My general fitness and strength has improved noticeably since I started and my core strength has shot through the roof, which has lead to more efficient cycling, running and swimming!
