Skadi Performance

Throughout my life I have spent many years bouncing around from one gym to the next. Paying for memberships I never used. Until I met Mieke. I’ve trained at Skadi Performance for almost four years now and wouldn't want to train anywhere else! I look forward to training every single day. Mieke has created such a fun, educational and uplifting environment! She really creates a family! I never thought an atmosphere like this could be created where there is no judgements from anyone! You will only find an uplifting and motivating environment. Mieke is one of a kind and I’m so thankful I found her. She’s been a catalyst in my life in a lot of ways! She keeps me motivated and healthy. Health is wealth!

Where do I even begin? I started training with Mieke during the cover-19 lockdown when it became acceptable to have one-on-one training again. Always trained in boxing, I became quite unfit during my couch potato covid-19 lifestyle and had a desire to get back into being my usual fit self.nnI wasn't looking for a new coach or a new sport, just someone to get me back on my feet since my old gym was still closed. I posted on a Facebook group for just a personal trainer closer to home and mentioned that I have a prior boxing experience.nnMieke was the first to slide into my messages and my life has not been the same ever since. From the moment I met Mieke I could tell that not only was she passionate about her sport, but she was passionate about her girls. She welcomed me with her warm and calming energy from the moment I began training her. As I was quite unfit at the time her patience to continue to train me for 45 minutes really resonated with me (my session was only 30 minutes long).nnAfter that session, it is safe to say that Mieke literally thew hellfire at me and I was literally dead! HAHA! I called my partner the moment I got into my car and told him how tired I was & how much I enjoyed my session. I made a decision in that moment (after vomiting up 3 times before getting into my car) I decided that I would go back for a 2nd session.nnAfter the 2nd session came the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and before I knew it I started training Muay Thai with Mieke and loving every second of it! Then it came time to move back into the gym when the restrictions eased and I was SO HECKIN NERVOUS to walk into the gym full of people I didn’t know! I’ve never ever been one for group classes unless I have a friend with me so I was extremely nervous to walk into a room full of women at 5am who not only had years of friendships but years of experience in the sport. Boy was I silly for being nervous because the women who train at Skadi Performance are one in a heckin million! I was welcome immediately and made to feel right at home. Each girl I was partnered with took the time to fix my mistakes and encourage me when I didn’t think I could push anymore.nnI didn’t intend for this review to go as long as it is, but I’m glad it is because no amount of words could even describe the feeling I get when I walk in to that Gym to train with my friends and my Coach Mieke. I have really found a love in a sport that excites me to wake up at 5am and then return again at 3pm for another session… I don’t know what my future holds for this sport, but one things for sure as long as Mieke continues to coach and Skadi continues to exist, I’ll continue to train. The female empowerment is something unexplainable when you walk into that gym, I just hope every woman gets to experience that kind of empowerment.

The energy at skadi is great, I always have fun and learn so much. Mieke the trainer is dedicated, patient, always on time, and genuinely puts all her heart into training others. She really looks after her girls and ensures everyone is doing the best they can. Would highly recommend for fitness, Muay Thai, or just for fun!

Skadi Performance is like no other, absolutely amazing coaching by Meike. She is highly skilled in what she does. The girls are all super friendly and helpful to train with. Zero intimidation at Skadi. If you are looking to improve your skills at muay thai and get very FIT , you should definitely give Skadi a try.

It's a great place to exercise, with a fantastic group.. Never thought I'd be up+exercising at 5am but thoroughly loving it!!
