Meet Shaun, owner and expert coach with a rich history in health and fitness. From cleaning kit to coaching sessions, he evolved to create Strength In Movement (SiM). SiM integrates strength, movement, and health, acknowledging the inseparable link between physical and psychological well-being.

As the country’s sole truly integrative facility, SiM combines sports science with human evolution-inspired movement. Our approach focuses on human mobility, agility, and strength through functional movements, athletic power development, and mobility protocols in both small group and one-on-one training.

SiM’s mission is simple: establish solid movement foundations, enhance pain-free mobility, agility, and strength for everyday health. Embracing the philosophy that to look like an athlete, you must train like one, SiM operates as a community – working, playing, and developing together. Welcome to our Clan.

  • We removed the traditional barriers to exercise which exists in commercial gyms.
  • We have no grunters, no posers and there will be zero intimidating factors at SiM.
  • We are a community that supports and encourage each other to get the best out of everyone

OUR VISION

At SiM, our vision is simple: to create a welcoming, inclusive space for individuals of all fitness levels, from beginners to elite athletes. Whether your goal is to run a marathon, improve your jump, lift more, or simply move pain-free, SiM is here to support you.

Understanding the importance of human connections for good health, we prioritize fostering a sense of community. Through nurturing these connections, we believe in benefiting not just the individual but also the collective and the business. SiM goes beyond just workouts – we aim to educate. Join our dedicated education evenings where we explain the fundamental philosophies, protocols, and strategies for continual improvement.

Our broader goal is to contribute to the personal development of everyone associated with SiM. We emphasize the life-enhancing properties of community spirit, support, and fun, promoting strength, movement, functional fitness, health, and wellbeing. With coaches rooted in athletic backgrounds and extensive experience, coupled with our commitment to ongoing professional development, SiM ensures a dynamic, enjoyable, and knowledge-packed fitness journey for all.

OUR MISSION

At Strength In Movement, we believe health is inseparable from both strength and movement.

Our mission is clear – to provide a dynamic, collaborative, and supportive environment that fosters a fun and adventurous approach to physical and mental health. We’re committed to sustainable well-being lifestyles.

Guided by the philosophy that strength and functionality should be central to all our goals, we inspire everyone connected with SiM. Each member’s personal development is our core focus, driving us to create fully functional, connected, strong, active, and agile lives.

The Three Tenets of Strength in Movement are: 

  • COMMUNITY: For Support, Motivation and Inspiration
  • STRENGTH: There are no negative aspects to being strong…at any stage in our lives
  • MOVEMENT: A truly life enhancing asset

I started with half of SiM over 2 years ago now and have loved every moment since. It’s been great to see the growth and progression into what is now SiM and enjoy the regular activities as well as finding my passion for the gym! It’s a great wee community & getting fitter, stronger and healthier is just added bonuses 🙂

I joined strength in movement about 3 months ago, I’ve tried countless times to get into gymming/exercising regularly but have never been able to stick to it. I’ve had the completely opposite experience with strength in movement, I feel so much more motivated because it’s such an easygoing, encouraging and fun environment to be in, I honestly look forward to my evening classes! Stephen and Shaun are incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions! I’ve also never been to a gym that offers optional social events like hiking, comedy nights, informative sessions, halloween parties, the list goes on! Obviously reaching your goal weight is a bonus, have been trying for 5 years to lose some weight, after 3 months with SIM I’ve lost almost 10kg, couldn’t recommend these guys enough. (They also make you a cup of tea if you’re early for a class, what more could you want?)

Joined strength in movement around 3 months ago, looking to lose weight for an upcoming holiday. Think I was a kick in the arse off 21st at the time, and I’m nearly down to 18st - I couldn’t have done it without Shaun n Stevie’s assistance. Two of the very best, approachable, knowledgable and sometimes funny guys! It’s because of them, and the community feel around the place that makes you want to sign up for your classes every week… the added bonus is of course the weight coming off, and looking and feeling good about yourself. It doesn’t stop at the studio doors! The boys put on hill walking days out, cold water therapy, informative seminars and nights out. I’ve never really like working out, but I feel all my inhibitions are taking care of when walking through the doors at strength in movement. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

Started training with Shaun and Stephen recently and they are brilliant. As someone who has never really stuck in at the gym they have been brilliant in building my confidence and knowledge in the best way to train and look after myself. Couldn't recommend them more they are fantastic!
