  • Wanna Be Fit After 40?

    The phrase "Being Fit" has been hijacked, mostly by 20-year-old influencers. You know, the ones that could get 6-pack abs in about 3 weeks due to their ridiculous metabolisms and the fact that life hasn't yet grabbed them by the throat with careers, kids, and belly fat from stress-induced eating. We get it. "Being Fit" should be more than just how you look. It's about how you feel and move as well as the energy you have to live the life you want. You've tried "fitness" before and for whatever reason, it didn't stick. It's not easy. Gyms can be intimidating and overwhelming. Our goal is to simplify the process and help you achieve your goals. To walk with you every ....

  • Do You Wanna Do This Together?

    Do You Wanna Do This Together? There’s an ancient African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” It’s true. Most of the time, we set our health and fitness goals based on time periods. ‘I wanna lose 30 lbs in 30 days,’ or ‘I want to fit into that bikini by summer.’ The problem is, the faster it comes off, usually, the faster it goes back on. Plus some. If you are over 40, it’s time to stop thinking about short-term goals and start thinking about your long-term health. It’s time to start thinking about how FAR you want to go. How long do you want to ....

    Training Athletes to Compete

    You know that kid. The one that never gives up. That doesn’t allow the scoreboard to determine their effort. The player that pushes hard no matter the score. That is all I want for my kids and athletes. There is too much focus on the outcome. Yes, winning is great, but if we can get an athlete to compete for the entire game, regardless of what is happening, then we have trained a champion. Be Great Today is a mantra of teaching success. These 3 words are combined together to get the most out of someone. Collectively, they mean one thing. Be in control of your attitude and your actions. There is much we can’t control. But how you think and how ....

    5 Ways to Live Longer, Better and Happier

    When we look at our culture today, one of the monumental characteristics of it would be the word “hustle”. Entrepreneurship is making its way to the forefront, and with our sky rocketing technology advancements, there seems to be more ways to make money than ever. In business, in fitness, essentially all aspects of our lives, “hustle culture” is having its moment. While I don’t think this is a bad thing, there is something that must follow “hustle” if we are going to create longevity with our goals. That thing is recovery. So, what is the firm foundation of any recovery system? That’s right, sleep! Let’s talk about it. Why Is ....

  • ??Ankle Sprains lead to ACL Tears??

    ⁉️Ankle Sprains lead to ACL Tears⁉️ Ankle Sprains are a common injury in sports. Typically, off an athlete sprains an ankle, the recovery looks like this: ❌ Ice ❌ Rest ❌ Brace (or tape) ❌ Play Little attention has is given to actually restoring mobility and stability in the ankle. If it doesn’t actively hurt, then everything is ok, right? No. If you sprain your ankle, you have a 5 times higher risk of tearing your ACL. WHAT? Yes, 5️⃣ x increase in risk. WHY? It’s a chain reaction. Stability is not restored in the ankle and the athlete has proprioceptive deficits. This then causes issues in glute Maximus and glute medius activation. ....

    Why Train Female Athletes?!

    In August of 2015, I received a call from a physical therapist that was looking for training for an athlete. She was a 14 year old soccer player was coming off an ACL tear. She was 4 months post op and ready for more. By the way, he said "she's a goalkeeper, 5'5" and was looking to play D1." We opened up Movement Fitness as a place to train athletes, but I'll be honest, I was more looking for the 15-18 year old bros that wanted to play football, baseball and basketball. That's who I had been and what I knew. Well, when you open a business without anyone really knowing who you are, you take EVERY opportunity you can get. So I dug in HARD to the science and training protocols for ....

If you would’ve asked me a couple of years ago if I’d ever love leaving my house to workout I would’ve said 100% no.

I worked out at home, and I was happy there…

But then I discovered Movement Fitness Rockford and the benefits of working out with a community of encouraging people.

I’ve been going for about a year, and I can honestly say I look forward to my gym days because of these people (and the ones not pictured.)

It’s not like other gyms, where you go in, keep to yourself, do your thing and leave. It’s semi-private personal training, tailored to you, and I have to say, I love it.

I’m working my way back after an inconsistent summer, and feeling thankful for the entire Movement team. I love these people!

I've been a member for almost two years. They care about each and every member and strive to bring out the best in me. I use the semi-private training sessions but always feel like I'm receiving one-to-one attention. There is no better place to train.

I have nothing but great words to say about Movement Fitness! I have enjoyed the past 6 months here and am so eager to return for winter break after my first semester of college. Not only have I noticed incredible changes in my sports performances but others have to. I am never shy to tell them about Movement and why they should check it out! Movement is the place to train and the environment is always super positive. Thank you Movement and Coach Keg for everything!
