About the Program
The GYM is an acting ‘fitness’ membership for experienced actors or those who have completed The Beginning and feel they are ready to move on to more challenging opportunities.
Just like any elite athlete, to be the best, you need the top coaches and training to keep you there. The GYM keeps actors “gig” fit with a competitive edge through advanced technique coaching and performances throughout the year.
In the famous words of Peter Brook “The art of acting is in some ways the most exacting art of all, and without constant schooling the actor will stop halfway”.
Keep ahead of the competition with The GYM annual membership.

Is this program for me?
Many actors find The GYM is a great option if they can’t commit to fulltime training right now and need high quality training in experiences. Some members have completed fulltime training already and are here to sharpen their skills and keeping fit for their next audition or gig.
Some part-time skilled actors who are simply keen on local performances rather than a fulltime acting career also come to The GYM as they are still wanting high quality training and performance opportunities at a local level.
