Fun2Move is a family-owned business based in Melbourne, offering exercise therapy programs and fun activities designed specifically for kids with special needs. Founded in 2013 by husband and wife team Giuseppe and Ania Mortellaro, Fun2Move combines the expertise of an Occupational Therapist, Personal Trainer, and Primary School Teacher to provide tailored fitness sessions for children with conditions such as autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, and learning difficulties. The philosophy at Fun2Move is centered around making movement and exercise enjoyable and accessible for all children, regardless of their abilities.
At Fun2Move, the focus is on introducing kids to exercise through engaging fitness games and drills that aim to improve core strength, balance, agility, and endurance, while also fostering confidence in basic sports skills like throwing, catching, bouncing, and hitting. The business operates in Melbourne’s inner north, specifically in Avondale Heights, and also offers online sessions to cater to children of all ages and abilities. By working closely with families and allied health providers, Fun2Move ensures that every child not only gains new physical skills but also develops confidence and a love for movement in a supportive and fun environment.
With a passion for health and fitness, Fun2Move is dedicated to showing kids that staying fit and healthy can be an enjoyable experience. What started as a venture offering general fitness and Pilates sessions has evolved into a specialized program tailored to meet the unique needs of children with special requirements. By providing a safe and inclusive space for kids to explore physical activities and social interactions, Fun2Move has witnessed significant improvements in the health and well-being of children who may have previously missed out on the benefits of traditional fitness programs and team sports.
