Totum Movement · New Town, Hobart

Get strong.
Move freely.
Have fun doing it.

A movement studio where adults build functional strength and skills most gyms don't touch. Calisthenics, handstands, mobility and animal movement.

The difference

A different kind of strong.

At Totum you learn to feel what your body is doing, in real time, and what it can do when it works as one. You will get strong, you will learn things that look impossible at first, and you will leave most sessions with more energy than you walked in with.

What we teach

Our classes.

Every class blends building strength and flexibility, learning to control it through movement, and using it in new situations. Build, control, use: each class practises the three in different proportions.

Strength & Movement

Bodyweight strength and skills, from your first chin-up to planches, levers and handstands.

Body Prep

Joint prep, spinal work, and the foundations that bulletproof everything else.

Recommended first class

Hand­balancing

Handbalancing at every level, from your first kick-up to freestanding and press.

Mobility & Flexibility

End-range strength and active flexibility for shoulders, hips and spine, working toward the splits, pancake and a comfortable resting squat.

Who it's for

Totum is for people who move in life.

What you build here upgrades everything else you do, whoever you are when you walk in.

You're a beginner and want to understand your body better and do the things you've always wanted to do.

You're active and want a strong, mobile body that keeps up on the trail, the mountain, or in the surf.

You sit at a desk all day and feel it in your back and shoulders.

You're recovering from injury and want strength you can trust again.

You want a gym built around bodyweight strength and calisthenics: the chin-ups, levers, and handstands that come with it.

Complete beginners and long-time movers train in the same room here. What they have in common is curiosity, and wanting to find out what their body can do.

The approach

Feel it first.

Everything here breaks into small, achievable steps, so whatever your starting point you have a clear next thing to work on. You build strength and range, learn to control it through skills and movement, then use it in situations you can't plan for. Underneath all of it is one habit: feeling what your body is actually doing, and letting that guide what you do next. That is the part that changes how training feels, and it is why people stay for years rather than months.

The community

You will be moving with good people.

Classes are full of people supporting each other, partnering up, and celebrating the wins that take months to earn. Much of what we do in classes is hard to learn in isolation.

“I've never been very interested in conventional gyms. I can't get motivated to do repetitive, boring exercises just because I feel like I should… I've gone from never having tried handstands to sometimes holding a free-standing handstand for a few seconds.”

The app

The whole roadmap, already mapped.

The app holds the full calisthenics and bodyweight strength roadmap: every skill, broken into progressions, in the order that actually works. So you always know where you are, what comes next, and what you have already built. Most people training on their own never get that, and the guessing is usually what stalls them. Train only in the studio and it tracks your progress there. Want to keep moving between classes? It carries the practice home, to the park, or on the road.
