Who This Is For
Where Everyone Starts
Every person who trains here starts the same way: a full biomechanical, movement and postural assessment, before a single exercise is prescribed. It takes about thirty minutes, it costs nothing, and it commits you to nothing at all.
The reason it comes first is simple. A programme written without it is a guess dressed up as expertise - the same template handed to bodies that move completely differently. What the assessment finds is where you actually are: what is tight, what is not firing, what your posture has quietly adapted to, and what that means for the thing you want to be able to do.
How It Works Here
What it covers
How you move, how you stand, and where the compensations are. Rod also assesses energy levels, resting heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and nutrition as part of a holistic picture.
What you leave with
A clear read on your own body and what training it would actually involve - useful whether or not you ever book a session here.
Measured again as you go
The same assessment is repeated as you progress, so improvement is something you can see rather than something we claim.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Brilliant training sessions - these have been (for me) revolutionary in terms of unrestricted daily movement and strength conditioning. Maeve, Joe, Jalen and Rod have an understanding of the body that is both scientific and holistic- great stuff, thanks.
Joe doesn’t just run you through exercises - he teaches you the “why” behind every movement. He frames biomechanics in a way that actually changes how your body fires - you don’t just copy a movement; you understand it. With him, muscles aren’t simply “working”; they’re working for a reason, in the right order, with the right intention. Small adjustments create huge changes. He explains why a cue matters, what pattern it supports, and you feel your alignment reset instantly. That level of precision only comes from someone with real kinesiology knowledge behind their coaching. You don’t leave the session exhausted, but the next day you feel soreness in exactly the right places - which has become Joe’s signature for me. If you’re just trying to lift heavier, you can go anywhere. But if you want someone who truly understands how the body functions and can coach from that depth, Joe is the answer.
Awesome little gym with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I have been training here with Maeve for about 6 months. I was looking for more strength training to complement the Pilates I have done for many years. What I found at Raw Ener-Chi was a level of knowledge about the human body and movement that you do not find elsewhere in the gym environment. Through a personalised program where adjustments are made to strengthen your weakness and release tightness, I have seen gains in creating total body alignment. Meaning I move through my day with much more ease having strength where I used to be weak. If you are looking for a tailored personal approach to training that improves your body and mind connection then Raw Energy-Chi is a great gym. Thank you Maeve you are a gem to find and I love training with you.
