Absolutely. Our approach is not gendered — health belongs to everyone. While many of our clients are women (and often invite their partners to join them), we encourage men to take the same brave step toward better health. Our services are designed to support both men and women in creating long-lasting changes.

Not at all. Many of our clients come to us after years of inactivity, injury, or a health diagnosis. Our programs are designed to meet you exactly where you are and help you build strength, confidence, and well-being at your own pace.

 Yes. We specialize in creating clinical exercise prescriptions tailored to your health needs — whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking to prevent future health challenges. Our goal is always the same: to take your current health status and help you move toward thriving.

We support that! Some clients work with us short-term to build confidence and skills so they can exercise independently. Others prefer ongoing support through private coaching, small group training, or online classes. We’ll work with you to find the approach that fits best for your lifestyle and goals.

 Of course. Starting with a coach is a big step. That’s why we offer a free 20-minute discovery call where you can share your story, ask questions, and see if Movement Medicine is the right fit for you.

Most people who come to us don’t feel comfortable in a traditional gym. Sometimes it doesn’t feel inclusive, or there’s fear of injury. While we can adapt your program for a gym setting, our coaching is designed to fit seamlessly into your life — whether at home, in our space, or in an environment that aligns with your goals. You’ll also be guided by clinical exercise physiologists, professionals with specialized training (Bachelor’s or Master’s in Kinesiology) who understand both the science of movement and the realities of health conditions.

Not usually. If you have a pre-existing health condition, we may ask you to complete a PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) and, in some cases, get clearance from your doctor. Many physicians also refer patients directly to us when exercise is recommended as part of their care.

Many new clients come to us after receiving a diagnosis or new prescription — for high blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar concerns like pre-diabetes. These conditions can often be improved with exercise, sometimes even reducing the need for medication. We also support people managing pain, recovering from injury, or simply wanting to stay strong, confident, and active as they age.

Yes — both. Some people work with us entirely online, others in person, and many choose a combination to fit their busy schedules and lifestyle.

It depends on your goals, your current fitness level, and what you’re ready to commit to. Progress looks different for everyone, and our role is to design a plan that’s realistic and sustainable for you.

Our first session is about getting to know you — your health history, your exercise experience, your lifestyle, and your goals. We’ll also do a light, simple fitness assessment to see how you move and where you feel strong or uncertain. Nothing to be nervous about — it’s simply a starting point to create a safe, tailored plan.

Currently, our services are not directly covered. Some clients have been able to submit claims through their extended health benefits, but this depends on your plan. Clients are responsible for submitting their own claims, as Movement Medicine does not bill insurance directly.
