Personal Trainer & Coach
FMS has changed the way I approach personal training/coaching. 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.
