Success Stories
Social Fitness is the ability to navigate and thrive in social interactions by developing key habits, confidence, and emotional awareness.
Just like physical fitness, it’s something you can build and improve over time—especially with the right guidance.
Every time you engage in a social interaction, you’re exercising your "social muscles." And each time you take one of our workshops or programs, you’re adding more weight to those social dumbbells.
Investing in social fitness leads to stronger relationships, career success, and better mental well-being.

"Not exercising your social fitness is hazardous to your health”

What does "Social Fitness" mean?Social fitness is the degree to which you assess, build, and optimize the relationships and interactions you have with others. The connections you build with family members, friends, teammates, and those in your community are key to your overall health and your ability to perform (and be) at your best.
-
Have you proven this works?Short answer, yes! In today's world where everyone is glued to their phones, having this ability is literally like a superpower. We have personally tested and refined our methods through over 1,000 hours of real-life interactions.
-
How long before I start to see results?Communication is a skill like any other, and we believe that with the right coaching, and consistency on the member's part, goals can be achieved. Members have been noticing improvements in their interactions with others, within a few short weeks. Individual goals and results will vary depending on a variety of factors including level of consistency, ability to learn and other lifestyle factors.
-
Can't I just learn this stuff on my own?Of course, you can, but do you want to see results in a few weeks or a few years? You know the expression "You can't learn to ride a bicycle from a book"... So, you'll need to go out, a lot, and without an expert coach to give you direct and accurate real-time feedback, you're going to have to work it out yourself, you'll take wrong turns and make wrong assumptions. It will be confusing, and you may even feel worse about the whole thing for some time before you get any improvement in results. Who has time for all that? Many people try and give up taking this approach, I've seen it time and time again. Don't feel like you should know this stuff already. This is a mistaken expectation that society puts on you. Instead, just like if you wanted to take piano or salsa lessons... learn from an expert.
-
I don't think I need this, I don't have a problem with my communication!When was the last time a friend or colleague said "Hey, you need to work on your communication?" Probably never right! It's not something we really say to people, we just expect you'll figure it out yourself. Just because you're not aware of something, doesn't mean it's not happening. If you're not happy with your social or dating life right now, you could have some blind spots, and that's where our private classes with feedback can help.
-
Sounds like a great concept, but for someone else, I'm not socially awkward!Let me put it to you like this, do big guys go to the gym? Well, if they already have muscles, why do they need to keep training? When you think about it, communication is a bit like a muscle, the more you work it, the stronger it gets. See my point? Being good at something doesn't mean you can't maintain or get better.
-
Aren't social skills something you either have or you don't?It certainly appears that way, after all, how did we all learn how to socialise growing up? We had Math lessons, we had English, we even had gym, but we never had social classes right! We just had to figure it out ourselves on the playground. Some of us were more naturally intuitive and worked it out, while some of us felt stuck. Reality is, if you took ANY subject, Math, English, whatever, and let the kids "work it out for themselves", the same thing would happen, some would pick it up, and others wouldn't. Social skills are a skill, just like anything else.
-
I don't know where to go to meet peopleYou're not alone! Since the explosion of online dating, people have been constantly asking me... "Where do I go to meet people in real life?!" The good news is, people are everywhere and that part's not as complicated as you might think. We will teach you some simple tricks to make this easy as!
-
I don't know what to sayThis is very common. We often OVER THINK the first words we are going to say when meeting someone new, especially if we are attracted to them. We give you tried and tested things to focus on so that you're not stuck in your head, racking your brains trying to think of what to say. At the same time, they are flexible enough so you can feel authentic and true to yourself.
-
I always run out of things to sayOften when we are in a conversation and there is a pause, we start going into our mind to think of something cool to say. We teach you how to avoid this trap and always have something to say in almost every situation you could think of!
-
I get nervous or anxious when trying to start a conversation, can this really help me?Imagine a kid turns up one day to learn basketball and the coach says, 'Ok kid, here's the ball, you bounce it like this, you shoot like that, now there's you team out ready to play again that other team, we will all be here watching, now go!" What's going to happen to that kid when he goes out on that court? He'll freeze! Why? Seems obvious with this analogy, because he hasn't practiced. We wouldn't do that to a kid, yet so many coaching company's do this to adults, they throw them in the deep end, and it creates anxiety. At Social Fitness, much like a good sports coach, we train you in a class so you can make the mistakes without feeling silly or judged and feel ready when it's game time.
-
I want to try but I still want to keep Online DatingThat's totally fine! However, in our experience working with clients from a leading Australian dating company, the best results came to those who took a break from the apps for a month or so, so they could focus properly on meeting people in real life. These are real life skills you are building! That said, there is no rule against using Apps at this point.
-
I want a serious relationship and not just random funPerfect! What could be more romantic on your wedding day than telling the story of how you met in person? Guess what, I met my ex-girlfriend using the Skip the Swipe method and the only reason we broke up was because she had to move overseas. Remember, couples used to meet like this all the time before Dating Apps existed!
-
Do you run kid's classes?At the moment our classes are for 18+ but we plan to start kid's classes in the near future.
-
Can you help me with dating?Yes. Our head coach used to work for a leading Australian dating company. In fact, part of the reason why he started Social Fitness was to provide members with a safe environment to practice so you don't look silly or feel rejected. If you prefer to work 1:1 please contact us directly.
-
I'm new to Sydney, can you help me find friends?Yes. While going to Meetups can be a great way to make new friends, it can be a bit hit and miss. Plus, aside from a few, you're not going to meet many locals there. After a few short months our members are meeting people everywhere they go!
-
Can you help me get better results at work?Absolutely! Being a good communicator with people socially, will certainly translate to your work situations.
-
How is this any different from any other coaching program?Most coaching programs give you the "what" but they don't actually teach the "how". They tell you what to do via online content or a Zoom call and let you go any work it out yourself. The Social Fitness program delivers amazing results by letting you actually practice in groups that simulate real situations and receive feedback from the coaches to help you navigate many of life’s situations, where you may have felt stuck before. This real-time feedback is something that just cannot be achieved by watching videos or chatting in forums. Further, in our 1:1 sessions, we address specific blocks that may be holding you back from getting the results you deserve.
-
I am on the Spectrum, is this suitable for me?We actually run a Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) which is a world-renowned for providing evidence-based social skills treatment to young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and other socio-emotional problems. Please message and book a call with us if this is you!
-
I have social anxiety or depression, is this right for me?The best thing to do would be to book a call and we can have a chat about your goals. Some clients have been successful with this method, while others have needed a more tailored plan. Message us and book your free call now!
-
What can I expect from the coaching process, and how will it benefit me?Benefits of working with us will include: - A clear and actionable plan - An audit of current behaviours and habits to highlight what may be holding you back - You will be challenged and held accountable and as tough as this may be, this is how to get real results - Complete confidentiality
-
How often should we have coaching sessions, and what is the ideal duration?For 1:1 coaching we recommend fortnightly as this gives you enough time to implement the techniques and actionable steps from our sessions. Session run for an hour but from time to time a session may run up to 90 minutes at the coaches discretion if the coach believes that's what is required for you to move forward.
-
How do I get started?Please take the Quiz first so we can make sure you are a good fit for our coaching. After that we will send you an email and if suitable we can have a quick chat, understand your goals and know how we can help.
