Discover Thrive

Thrive is our gym, directly across the road from the clinic on Clovelly Road. Every class that runs here is designed by physiotherapists, capped at small numbers, and progressed deliberately — whether you're rehabilitating an ACL, building bone density, or lifting a barbell for the first time.

Classes are capped at 6–8 people, so you're coached, corrected and progressed individually within the group. All classes are booked online and run first-come, first-served.

What Makes Thrive Different?

1. Every programme designed by physiotherapists. Class programming is written by our clinical team using the same reasoning we apply one-on-one, not adapted from a generic template. Our clinical classes are delivered by physiotherapists. Our strength and Pilates classes may be delivered by a strength and conditioning coach or a qualified Pilates instructor working to that physiotherapist-designed programme.

2. Small groups, 6–8 people. Individual cueing, individual load, individual progression.

3. Load is tracked. You're not repeating the same session in six months.

4. Continuous with your care. If you're already a patient here, your class programming can be built around what you're working on in the clinic — and back again, because the gym is thirty seconds from the treatment room.

Three Ways to Train

Thrive Clinical Classes

Physiotherapist-led rehabilitation in groups of 6–8, with your own programme inside the class. Osteoblast for bone health, Thrive Spines for persistent neck and back pain, and Thrive Rehab for ACL, post-operative and limb injury rehabilitation. An initial 1:1 physiotherapy appointment is required before you start.

Thrive Strength, Prime Movers, Pilates & Yoga

Ongoing group training for strength, control and capacity. Reformer and mat Pilates, periodised strength blocks, yoga, and Prime Movers for older adults. All programmed by our physiotherapists and delivered by our physiotherapists, strength and conditioning coaches and qualified Pilates instructors. Open to anyone who wants to move well.

The Osteoblast Programme

Our structured bone health pathway for people with osteopenia or osteoporosis. Initial assessment with baseline testing, a 45-minute small-group class built on current bone loading research, outcome measures reported back to your GP, and repeat testing at 12 weeks. Claimable on private health under item 560.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Still unsure? Call the clinic on (02)8322 3898 and we'll talk it through — or ask your physiotherapist at your next appointment.

Getting Started

1. Book the right first step. Clinical classes and Osteoblast require an initial 1:1 physiotherapy appointment. Strength, Pilates, Yoga and Prime Movers can be booked directly, though a 1:1 is recommended if you're new to Pilates.

2. Get your baseline. Your physiotherapist assesses you, sets your programme, and for Osteoblast records outcome measures to report back to your GP.

3. Book your classes online. Classes are first-come, first-served and fill quickly, so book ahead.

Private Health Insurance

Most of our classes can be claimed through private health insurance with extras cover, though what you can claim depends on the class and who delivers it.

• Non-clinical classes — Thrive Strength, Mat, Reformer, Yoga and Prime Movers may be claimable under item 561 where the session is delivered by a physiotherapist. Sessions delivered by a strength and conditioning coach or Pilates instructor aren't claimable.

• GP Chronic Condition Management Plans can be used towards the 1:1 consultations within the Osteoblast Programme.

Rebate amounts vary by fund and level of cover, so check with your insurer. If you're claiming, let reception know and we'll send you a monthly statement to lodge directly with your fund.
