It has unlocked our potential to not only move better but to think better! ### Paul Kevin Smith ##### Personal Trainer & Educator I screen all my personal training clients with the FMS. They appreciate how I tailor their exercise routines to their specific needs, and they notice improvements in their mobility and stability as a result. As a trainer, the FMS app makes it easier to come up with varied exercises for each client, and not fall into the habit of giving the same cookie-cutter exercises to all clients. ### Mark Seaver ##### Assistant Director, Sports Performance As a strength and conditioning coach at Wake Forest University, we use movement screens every day to determine how we move forward with an athlete. Whether we are prescribing correctives or correcting poor technique, movement health is our number one priority when training athletes. ### Liam McCormick ##### Personal Trainer Movement quality and intention lay at the foundation of how I run my business. I maintain active participation in FMS content with regular online seminars and the always engaging and informative FMS podcast. I highly recommend the FMS content and courses to trainers and Kinesiology graduates; it will provide an incredible stepping stone on your vocational journey. ### Rick Mayo ##### CEO, Alloy Fitness 87% of new members EXPECT some type of fitness consultation upon joining a new gym and when we get to the end of our 1-hour sales process and we’ve done the FMS, we can now make a prescriptive sale. ## Support - [support@functionalmovement.com](mailto:support@functionalmovement.com) - +1 (434) 432-3677 - [FAQs](https://www.functionalmovement.com/faq) ## Connect with us - - - - - ## Latest Tweets ## Find Certified Members Copyright © 2020 FunctionalMovement.com - [Home](https://www.functionalmovement.com/) - [Contact Us](mailto:support@functionalmovement.com) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.functionalmovement.com/privacy) - [Accepted Use Policy](https://www.functionalmovement.com/accepteduse) - [Terms and Conditions](https://www.functionalmovement.com/terms)
