Many studies show that as we age, the body’s tissues tend to be less reactive and weaker, which may lead to a higher incidence of injury and disease.
At Melbourne Massage and Treatment, one-to-one fitness classes are open to anyone.

So far, thanks to scientific research we know that:
What makes a difference between a standard gym session and the way I offer Fitness Class, here at Melbourne Massage and Treatment in Coburg, is the clinical approach to fitness training. When delivering a class, I combine evidence-based exercise prescription with hands-on knowledge from years of experience as a myotherapist in rehabilitation.
This type of approach allows you to receive guidance that considers:
So my approach to fitness class are not only, let’s move some weight, but I do consider what’s your goal and what’s your starting point.
This I believe is the best way to personalised fitness classes by providing a supportive and professional environment to help you achieve lasting results.
The MAT it is a Measuring Assessment Tool that allows Giovanni to evaluate and keep track of your achievement for mobility and stability and more.
Indeed, through out the MAT there are plenty of testing that can be done, to see how your presentation is evolving.
And given everyone unique biomechanics and clinical history, there are not set number to achieve, but average that we expect to get to.

Along with the classic training protocols, such as weightlifting and the use of a column machine for upper- or lower-body workouts, or a bench tool, I have integrated the principles of Kinetic Link Training (KLT) into your Fitness Class training.
Indeed, KLT is part of my one-to-one Fitness Classes offer here in Coburg and is a form of functional training designed to help you improve movement efficiency, strength, and coordination all at once.
What is the basic difference between KLT and otehr form of training, is that KLT focuses on movement patterns that combined upper and lower body at all the time.
This is possible by taking upper body movement like:
and combining it with lower body movement like:
throughout different directions of lower body movement:
Anterior lunge, posterior lunge, or side split squat
and a different direction for upper body movement:
A pull from low to high, or a push from mid to mid height.
Now, can you quickly imagine how many combinations of exercises come from this?
Furthermore, what’s handy is the way the exercises are called. In fact, a KLT exercise’s name is the exercise description itself, as shown in those photos. The exercise’s name is going to tell you exactly what upper and lower body movement you are expected to do, and what direction your body is positioned regarding the machine or bench used.
So, KLT is especially beneficial for rehabilitation protocols (once the acute phase has passed) and for improving everyday movement mechanics.

A: As this is a one-to-one class, and is supervised by a qualified Clinical Myotherapist, yes, it is different from a group class run at a gym by a PT. Indeed, exercises are selected based on movement assessments, injury history, and functional goals, ensuring safe and effective training.
A: Each class focuses on where you are with your goal achievement. If the goal is general strength and endurance, we will establish a good level of mobility and stability, to start with, while we work on your strength, posture, and functional movement.

A: Results vary depending on your goals and condition. Some improvements in movement and coordination can already occur within one class. But when looking at improving general strength and fitness level, we are looking at the 3 to 6 months mark, where you will be working (including the Fitness Class with me) 3 days a week on hitting weights.
