MOVE is a boutique fitness club designed from conception for women’s fitness.

2. How is MOVE's training approach different?
MOVE does not have conventional machines found in gyms as we prefer not to focus on isolated exercises or individual muscles. We believe more effective results that benefit everyday life can be achieved when you are training with full-body movements and proper mechanics. By doing so we help to improve your mobility, stability and range of motion, all of which will translate into a better quality of life.

4. How do we measure success?
At MOVE, we help each woman achieve their personal best. We don't focus on measuring weight or body fat loss as success, rather results as a side effect when not the sole focus in an unhealthy way. We measure success by improving how well you move, getting stronger, learning a new skill and fitness firsts — whether a push-up, chin-up, personal record set for a squat or deadlift.

MOVE's mission is to help women fall in love with fitness for all the right reasons. Our goal is to help each woman achieve their personal best. We don't measure weight loss or body fat. Since 2017, we’ve been championing women’s fitness by focusing on moving well, being strong and feeling good from the inside out to help you be your best — whether maintaining your body, being active with your little one, or improving performance in a competitive sport. Looking good is just a side effect.
