Understanding Your GMC Thrive Index: What Your Scores Really Mean

At Geelong Movement Co., we believe movement is more than exercise. It’s energy, confidence, mental clarity, and the ability to live your life fully.
The GMC Thrive Index is a simple 7-pillar snapshot of your current wellbeing. Each pillar is scored between 1 and 10, helping you understand how your body, mind, and daily life are tracking right now.

Below, you’ll find a breakdown of what your score means in each area.
