“Gave me my son back.”
Post COVID, my son did not adjust back to Year 5 at his primary school. After weeks of medical and psychological tests, the decision was made to homeschool him until the end of primary. The reason? Unchecked bullying and a growing fear of going outside. My son was bigger than average, hence the bullying, and when searching for a homeschooling sport, and there were precious few options, we found Ability Fit. I knew by the pictures and the write ups from Coach Niki, my son would be safe there.
He was so scared that first session, crying outside the gym and very hesitant – and then…couldn’t wait to go every week! Over the next 1.5 years my son found his confidence and friends, kids from all walks of life, gender and background. It gave him a reason to go outside, and so he did.
This was pivotal; my son is now back in school and, having completed Year 7, was #1 in his class academically. Just to see him find himself again was a gift. I credit so much of this to Coach Niki, the inclusive nature of her program, her team, the wonderful kids in her program and J-Train Gym where blueprints for “Being YOUR Best” were constant and evident. The adults training there are clearly serious athletes and to be accepted and a part of this culture? Priceless.
This program is for everyone, and anyone, wanting to see their child happy, healthy and thriving. From deep within my heart, thank you Coach Niki and team, J-Train, and all the kids who welcome my son every week, yes still, and always will. Best program for health, well-being, fitness, friendship and confidence building in the whole of the Northern Beaches, and I dare say beyond.
