Move Bloomington

Move Bloomington is a phenomenal place to workout and achieve your fitness goals. I feel supported, challenged, and encouraged each and every workout. Matt and Alayna both listen to my needs and design a custom workout, alongside explaining technique and form. I never feel ashamed or embarrassed to ask questions if I do not understand. MoveBloomington is inclusive, supportive, and most importantly- FUN. I thoroughly enjoy my time spent here. It's become the highlight of my week.

Move Bloomington genuinely cares about their clients and listens to their movement needs, wants, and goals. They have worked with me to assess how I'm moving, my areas of weakness, and put together a plan to get me back to feeling and moving my best. I used to suffer with debilitating back pain, but Move Bloomington has kept me pain free for over 3 years now. That 3 year period included a pregnancy where I was able to continue moving my body in a safe, joyous, and pain free way all the way until the birth of my son.Move Bloomington has a wide range of equipment in their facility which means no two workouts are ever the same. They also have a unique offering in Frederick Stretch Therapy that I’ve recently taken advantage of. It has proven to have so many benefits - quicker recovery, better sleep, and I feel it has honestly improved my workouts and running. I took a year off from running after the birth of my son, but because I continued my workouts with Move Bloomington and started to incorporate the stretch therapy, I was able to pick back up running 3 miles within a 1 month period - this blew my mind!If you want trainers who truly care about helping you move and feel your best, and not just about a number on the scale, I highly recommend you reach out to Move Bloomington. Your body will thank you for it!

I have been with MoveBloomington for over a year now and have nothing but good things to say about my experience. Matt explained everything about his approach and process clearly in a phone interview. Next step was an in-person assessment, discussion of my personal goals and how they aligned with his approach. Financial options were clearly explained and there was no “sales pressure” to decide immediately or sign on the dotted line. He is 100% client focused. All good providers say “this is YOUR class” but he actually practices that philosophy, answering every question (and I have many😊) patiently and with as much elaboration as I want. I particularly liked his refusal to take clients whose main goal is weight loss, as he’s seen it fail too many times. I hasten to mention that I have lost 25 pounds during the last year through healthy eating but this has never been the focus of our workouts.His focus IS long term health and wellness. I have have gained strength, flexibility and balance during the last year. One important goal for me was improving my aging posture and I have accomplished this goal. This has given me greater confidence to keep up an active lifestyle including travel. I am 74 and am looking at staying as healthy as possible for as long as possible as my job for the rest of my life. Matt’s workouts have been a big and successful part of that effort.Lastly, the workouts are FUN! Matt always comes prepared with workouts that are increasingly challenging, designed to meet my goals, and interesting. He is continuously learning himself (completing a massage therapy program this summer), while being professionally active through teaching and attending conferences, and increasing options with new pieces of equipment.I cannot recommend Move Bloomington highly enough. If you want a research driven, comprehensive approach to building a better body, this is the place to be!

I found Matt when I first moved to Bloomington in the fall of 2021! I had no idea what to do when it came to strength training, so I reached out for personal training, and I am so glad I did!He & Alayna are so kind, supportive and create a fun and safe environment to be in. I absolutely love working with them and can't wait to be back in the fall to see them again
