Who is it for
Children of any age who are autistic, neurodivergent, or who have social,  communication or other differences that may make it hard to attend a regular gym class. Siblings and Whanau are welcome. Formal diagnosis is not required.

Weekly Gym Class

$60 per family per term (AEW financial members) or

$70 per family per term for non financial members.

Autism Experiences Wellington Trust, with support from Capital Gym Sports, runs Sunday morning gym sessions for autistic children (18 and under) and their siblings. These sessions are designed to provide a safe, relaxed, and welcoming space to explore the gym, move in their own way, and have fun.

Capital Gym Sports is at 11 Hutchison Street, Newtown, and the entrance is from the middle carpark
(LH side of Bowlarama – entrance is up the path)

What to Expect: Sessions are relaxed and unstructured – kids can use the equipment at their own pace. Qualified coaches are on hand, but mostly hands-off unless support is needed.

Siblings and other family members are welcome and encouraged in either session. We just ask that parents/caregivers help keep things safe and fair so juniors can enjoy their session and older kids can enjoy theirs.

Sign in on arrival: We ask that you please sign in each week when you arrive — either by scanning the QR code or using the paper form. This helps us keep attendance records and report to our funders

First Time? Your first two sessions are free, so you can see if the class works for your child and family. Just fill in the registration form below and one of our team will be in touch.
