01. GETTING STARTED AT MOVE

New to MOVE? Here's everything you need to feel confident getting started.

What makes MOVE different from other gyms?

MOVE is a boutique fitness club designed for women, offering expert strength coaching in a supportive, women-focused environment.

We focus on helping women move well, get strong and build confidence. Our coaches get to know your goals and help you progress at your own pace.

We celebrate what your body can do, not just a number on the scale.

I'm new to strength training. Can I join?

Absolutely!

You don't need previous experience or a certain fitness level to begin. Our coaches help you learn movements, build confidence and progress safely at your own pace.

If you'd prefer more individual guidance, MOVE STRONG or GETPERSONAL may be a great starting point.

Which MOVE program is right for me?

Not sure where to begin? Our team can help you choose.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Expect a warm welcome, clear guidance and supportive coaching.

Depending on your program, your first visit may include discussing your goals, learning foundational movements and getting familiar with the space.

You don't need to know what you're doing before you arrive. We'll guide you.

What if I'm nervous about starting?

That's completely normal, especially if strength training is new to you.

You won't be expected to keep up with anyone else. Our coaches offer appropriate progressions and help you feel comfortable as you learn.

How often should I train?

The right frequency depends on your experience, goals, schedule and recovery.

Consistency matters more than doing as much as possible. Our coaches can help you build a realistic routine.

09. THE MOVE EXPERIENCE

Our training philosophy, equipment, amenities and what to bring.

How is MOVE's approach to strength training different?

We train your body for life.

Rather than relying primarily on machines, MOVE teaches foundational movements such as squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling and carrying.

Our coaches help you develop strength, mobility, stability and body awareness.

How does MOVE measure progress?

Your personal best is exactly that — personal.

Maybe it's your first push-up, a heavier deadlift, moving better, feeling more confident or simply showing up consistently.

We celebrate what your body can do.

What equipment does MOVE use?

MOVE focuses on functional strength training.

Our equipment includes barbells, bumper plates, kettlebells, dumbbells, training rigs, monkey bars, plyometric boxes, wall balls, prowlers, battle ropes, Olympic rings, rowing machines, AssaultBikes, heavy bags and more.

Don't recognize half of those? That's fine. We'll teach you!

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable workout clothing that allows you to move freely.

Choose something you feel comfortable and confident wearing while squatting, bending, pushing and pulling.

What shoes should I wear?

Shoes are optional for some aspects of our training.

If you prefer shoes, we generally recommend a flat, stable shoe with a wide toe box and a relatively thin, firm sole rather than a highly cushioned running shoe.

Your coach can help you choose what works best for your training.

Do you offer childminding?

Yes!

We offer childminding during designated times to help moms prioritize movement and self-care.

Spaces may be limited and advance registration is required.

Contact our team for current times and booking details.

What amenities does MOVE offer?

We've designed MOVE to make taking care of yourself something to look forward to.

Amenities include an infrared sauna, change rooms and showers, towel service, toiletries, a blow-dry area, lockers, smoothies, complimentary coffee and a comfortable lounge.
