Unit 104 - 901 7th Avenue V0A 1K5 Invermere, BC, Canada

Join us in studio for a small group, equipment class on Thursdays at 11:00am OR join us for a small in studio Pelvic-Core focused class Fridays at 11:00am OR join us outside at Pothole Park on Wednesdays at 6:30pm OR join us for all three!! Please call or email to join as space is very limited.

It is movement analysis and training rooted in the physical, biological and behavioral sciences that views movement as a chain reaction or continuum to train for functional purposes. Have you ever had a sore spot or one that lacks mobility or strength? Have you tried specific stretches or exercises to help but with no lasting resultsus too!! Let us help you look at the your movement through the AFS lense to discover what other parts of your body may be contributing to the movement deficit. By tweaking your movement or position you might just get the results you want. The Mobility and Stability exercises should then be targeted to help YOU keep the results.

We're moving and shaking outside at Pothole Park - every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday morning at 8:30am. Start your day with functional movement, fresh air and community. Call or email to join.

We're back in the studio! and on Zoom! and outside! We sure have missed you all and we're excited to offer a variety of classes and 1-on-1 training moving forward. We're using our studio space to accommodate small groups of 3 and 1-on-1 session - while utilizing equipment. We're using the great outdoors and Zoom to accommodate our larger group classes. Take a look at the schedule, find a class that works best for your schedule or where you're most comfortable. Get in tou...ch with us as space is even more limited than before. Moving better means everything and we're ready when you're ready. https://themovementco.com/functional-fitness-invermere-cla/

Hiking, biking, gardening, kayaking, golfing, running, walking, swimming and playing...oh my! We can’t wait for all these spring and summer activities to get underway. But why not take this time to start to prepare our bodies for those activities of choice. We want to help! Let us know how you’re planning on moving your body and maybe just maybe, we’ll create a functional, specific and 3 dimensional pre season movement sequence for your activity or sport! Then you can use ...as a warm up or cool down or both when we can get out and do the things we love! Training the body specifically will help ensure you can do what you love more often and pain free! If you’re looking for something even more specific to your activity while considering your body - strengths and pains - reach out to us! That’s our specialty creating specific exercise programs for specific bodies for general or specific goals!

Our 3D approach to the pelvic core will work through feet and ankles, hips and low back and into thoracic spine for a functional connection. Integration not isolation! So leave those kegels at home! The pelvic core neuromuscular system sounds complicated but everyone's got one - so this class is designed for all! If you're recently post partum, post post post partum, male, female, experiencing pelvic pain or dysfunction or just wanting to connect to and understand your body... differently - we want to move with you! Pelvic Core Fitness at Home class will start Wednesday, May 6th at 5:00pm. This class will be live through Zoom.us - call or email to register or with any questions that you might have.

Hi friends, the need for social and physical distancing is still imperative to the health of our community. Thank you all for doing your part and keeping informed!

Has your golf instructor ever told you your hips don’t rotate as much as they should? Or to stop swinging with your arms and swing from your center? Want to hit the ball with more power and more consistency? Want to enjoy the whole golf season without your back hurting? Golf is hard, training can help! But not all training is created equally. At the Movement Company we utilize our understanding of golf biomechanics through the Functional Golf System created by the Gray Ins...titute, to break down the movements needed in your body during each position of the swing. We’ll work through specific exercises in each swing position - address, backswing, impact, finish and full swing - to create a repeatable, fluid, faster, more powerful swing. Whether your a seasoned golfer, but your hip, back or shoulder gives you grief by mid-season, maybe you're new to golf and are trying to create more consistency and fluidity, maybe you’ve got lots of movement but you can’t control it. We’re all different but the main goal is to golf well, feel good and enjoy it all! We believe the power is in the quality of movement and ability to control all the forces through the swing and the whole chain reaction. Join us from home for this 4 week online class to condition your body for golf. This class aims to improve your mobility (flexibility) to increase your range of motion in your hips, spine, shoulders and arms; stability (strength) to prepare your body for the power, control and endurance for those 18 hole games. This class will be a combination of live streaming classes through Zoom.us and videos to reference between classes. At the end of the 4 weeks you’ll receive a video you can reference to create a warm up and recovery sequence to use forever!! Class starts Monday April 27th at 12:00pm and will run through May 18th. This 4 week Golf Fit at Home session is $60 +gst. We are happy to answer any questions you may have via email ([email protected]) or telephone - 250-342-6600. We can get you registered as soon as your ready via the same email or phone number! Hope to see you soon! Patti and Alexis

The health and well-being of our community is our top priority - and so with a ton of consideration and in an abundance of caution we have decided to temporarily cancel all group and private training. We will be evaluating day-by-day, week-by-week. We are wishing you all good health and hope to see you back in the studio very soon.... HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!

Surviving this crisis will take a shift in mindset, and that’s tougher than we think - especially when we’re afraid. Fear and anxiety can drive us to become ve...ry self-focused. This global pandemic is a real case of getting sick together or staying well together. Our choices affect everyone around us. There is no such thing as individual risk or individual wellness. This is the ultimate reminder that we are inextricably connected to each other. Turning away from collective action right now - as tempting as it is - will only generate more pain. Owning and embracing our global interconnectedness (from a safe distance) and thinking about others as we make choices is, ironically, our only path to safety for ourselves and the people we love. We can all get really shitty really fast when we’re afraid. I get it. I’m using deep breaths along with my personal mantra: Try to be scared without being scary. Feel free to borrow both - they can help. It’s also really normal for everyone to be on our nerves: The people who aren’t following the rules, the 10-second hand washers, etc. I get that too. TRUST ME. But, like it or not, we just can’t give up on people. We’re all we have. Stay awkward, brave, and kind. Love each other. Spread calm. xo, BB

Happy International Women's Day!

http:// Everything is Everything // When we help our clients move better, first, we take the first hurdle with them. Think of all the resistance people have to exer...cise... ... it hurts or its not working ... it takes too long ... it doesn't help me lose weight, anyway ... I won't be able to do it Moving better is about restoring ability, ease, enjoyment and good feeling to our clients. Its not about being in or out of "shape", not about how they look and not about what they "should" do. Moving better is about building trust, feeling fantastic, and gaining confidence. It really is everything! (Lauryn Hill-inspired title: https://youtu.be/i3_dOWYHS7I) #staycurious
