Who we help
Our programs are for teens and adults (grade 7 and up) with:
• autism and ADHD
• intellectual disability
• physical disability
• psychosocial disability (mental health conditions)
• other additional needs
Our programs are a good fit if you want to have fun, feel more comfortable around other people, make friends, or get stronger and fitter. Parents, carers and support workers are welcome too.
What it's like
Fun comes first. We turn exercise into games, so it feels like play, not work.
Comfortable, not crowded. Groups are small, usually 5 people or fewer. You can take a break whenever you need to.
Friendships happen naturally. We don't force anyone to talk. Doing something together gives people an easy reason to connect, and the conversations come on their own.
Everything can be adapted. Every exercise can be changed to suit your body, your energy and your needs.

About Jase
I'm Jase. I'm AuDHD, a personal trainer and an Allied Health Assistant.
While I use we and us, I am a sole trader. I find it hard to think of my business as 'I'.
Like a lot of autistic people, I spent years masking. I had to learn to read rooms, notice what people needed, and adjust to fit in. It was exhausting, but it also became a skill. Today it helps me notice things others miss: when someone's overwhelmed, when they're close to joining in, or what will help them feel at ease. Most of the time I don't even realise I'm doing it.
At Slim Gym, nobody else has to mask. I do the reading of the room so participants can relax, be themselves, and enjoy being around others.
Autism often runs in families, so if any of this sounds familiar to you as a parent, you're not alone.
The name Slim Gym comes from my own journey from morbid obesity to health (and wherever I am now lol). These days it's about much more than fitness. It's about confidence, comfort and belonging.
What people say
Five or six years ago we met Jase, and it has truly been one of the best things that has ever happened for my son, Josh.
Before joining Jase and his group, Josh didn’t really have friends and mostly kept to himself. Now he has birthday parties with friends who genuinely care about him, enjoys social nights where all the kids can simply be themselves without fear of judgement, and has found a real sense of belonging.

The discos we attend with Jase are always one of the highlights of our Girls Connect calendar. From the moment we arrive, Jase creates such a welcoming, inclusive and fun atmosphere where every participant feels comfortable being themselves. - Ang from Girls Connect
Absolutely loved this group for my son!
Jason was beyond awesome with every single individual, his patience, respect and genuine fun really stood out. It was my sons first time and he had a great time. It felt like he was a part of the group for months from the moment he arrived. As a parent, I honestly learnt so much just by watching Jason’s behaviour and attitude towards the guys, the way he connects, motivates and brings out the best in them is inspiring.- Kara
For support coordinators, SIL providers and therapists
We work alongside therapists, support coordinators and SIL providers. The Gym Trailer can visit SIL homes for 1:1 or group sessions, and we can bring residents from several SIL houses together in one session. That gives people a chance to build friendships outside their own home, without the stress of a busy public venue.
We also run regular NDIS provider networking events at Eagleby Neighbourhood Centre.
