Focus on the Process: We emphasize the journey over quick results. With every step forward, a new skill becomes attainable. Your foundation will take you far and wide.
Learn New Skills, Play, and Have Fun: Let's face it; exercise can sometimes feel like a chore. But what if it could be fun? That's where we come in. Our workouts incorporate Skill Work, which not only builds your kinesthetic awareness but also promotes joyful exploration.
Why Skills Matter: Have you ever wondered why exercise can sometimes feel like a pain in the butt? We've got a different perspective. What if you could get fit, gain skills, and most importantly, have fun? At The Movement Athlete, we've made that a reality.
The Skill Work is an integral part of each workout, designed to help you learn strength movements faster and challenge your balance and mobility. The more aware you become of your body, the easier it becomes to strengthen and control it.
A More Effective Way to Reach Your Goals: Sure, our program revolves around learning skills, but in the end, it's a remarkably effective way to achieve your fitness goals. Whether you want to shed fat, build muscles, or become insanely strong, our structured approach has got you covered.
And guess what? We have a treasure trove of over 100 new moves waiting for you in our app, all neatly organized on a big map of movements.
Deconstructing the Moves: Here's a sneak peek behind the scenes. At The Movement Athlete, we take a scientific approach to movement. Our team of coaches and physios meticulously deconstruct each move, breaking down what goes into it – muscles, flexibility, mobility, strength, skill, you name it.
We view your physical potential as a journey. You start with simple moves, build a solid foundation, learn the basics, and ensure your joints, muscles, and tendons are ready to handle higher loads and more complex moves. Once you're prepared, we lead you towards the harder and harder moves.
Turning Training into a Game:
Ever thought about training as a game you can't lose? That's precisely what we offer. Think of it as a map filled with treasures and quests. In our case, the moves are the quests. Our system carefully guides you through every crucial aspect with a personalized training plan. It's a step-by-step process that helps you unlock harder and harder moves.
And here's the exciting part – we're just getting started! While we already have over 100 new moves in the app, our library will continue to grow along with the app's assessment and complexity.

Safely Advancing from Zero to Advanced Moves:
So, how do we safely take someone from zero to advanced moves like the planche, muscle-up, front levers, and backflips? It's all about guidance. We continuously assess where you are in terms of different attributes and adjust your training daily to ensure effective and safe progress.
With our team, we've crafted a comprehensive map of moves, all interconnected. This map outlines exactly what you need to develop to safely move forward. We've also categorized the moves based on complexity, ensuring a playful, constantly progressing, and holistic approach to overall body development.
The Journey:
Let's talk about your journey with us. We structure your skills training to take you from zero to master through a comprehensive assessment. It all begins with the fundamentals.
Starting with the Fundamentals:
Being able to perform awe-inspiring moves like the human flag and planches requires more than just phenomenal strength. It also demands flexibility, mobility, balance, and skill. Regardless of your strength level, these moves can be challenging without the necessary skills (and some practice, of course).
That's why we emphasize mastering the fundamentals. Until you consistently conquer them, progressing to advanced moves is not advisable. Once you've mastered the fundamentals, they become the keys that unlock any move you wish to learn in your advanced calisthenics journey.

Unlocking Harder Moves: Here's the exciting part – once you've conquered the fundamental moves, you unlock access to even more challenging ones. It's a systematic progression that not only ensures you develop all the attributes needed for a particular move but also guarantees that you make effective progress toward your goals every single day. Once you've completed the obligatory fundamentals, you have the freedom to choose what you want to work on next.

Brace yourself for a list that includes the Human Flag, Back Lever, Front Lever, Handstand Walk, Handstand Push-Up, Handstand Press, Bridge, Sitting Press, Planche, Muscle Ups, Ring Dips, and many more.
