Gymnazo EDU Evolves into The MōV Method

Dec 26, 2024

 

Dear Fellow Movement Innovators,
 
At Gymnazo, we've always been committed to evolving the fitness industry by going beyond just training for the sake of aesthetics. We have always aimed to challenge and empower clients to thrive utilizing the gift of multidimensional movement and helping them navigate complex movement patterns. We are so passionate about helping other trainers evolve to do the same for their community that we developed a branch of our business to be an education company, Gymnazo EDU.
 
Today, we're thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter: Gymnazo EDU is evolving into The MōV Method!
What's changing?
The MōV Method is more than just a name—it's a new direction. We're transforming from a gym with an education department into an institution dedicated to advancing fitness education worldwide. While Gymnazo in San Luis Obispo will continue to embody The MōV Method in practice, all of our education programs will now carry the MōV Method name, allowing trainers everywhere to adopt and personalize this innovative approach.
 
Imagine trainers around the globe saying, “I practice The MōV Method approach to movement,” while putting their own unique spin on how they implement its' principles. This shift empowers YOU to build your own style of training while leveraging the proven principles of multidimensional movement and movement longevity.
What does this mean for MDMC grads?
The Multidimensional Movement Coaching (MDMC) certification stands as a true testament to your dedication and expertise as a movement specialist. We are deeply honored to have guided pioneers like you in functional training through a program packed with the education and tools needed to excel as both a well-rounded trainer and a business owner.
 
As we transition to offering more focused certifications, designed for deeper exploration and self-paced flexibility, we remain immensely proud of the legacy of MDMC. To us, those who have completed this certification will always be elite trainers—trailblazers in the field—who embody the principles of multidimensional movement and inspire the next generation of functional training excellence.
 
You were the first to say "yes" to joining the revolution, and for that, we are forever grateful. Now, as we introduce the next wave of educational resources, we invite you to be part of this exciting evolution.
 
Our new certifications build upon key sections of the MDMC program, now enhanced with deeper dives into the content and even greater practical application. Thanks to your invaluable feedback, we've refined and elevated these programs to elite status. As an MDMCer, you'll receive an exclusive discount to become certified—be sure to check your inbox!
What's new?
With The MōV Method, we're introducing two advanced roles:
  • Movement Longevity Specialists (MLS): Equipped to guide clients toward sustainable health with multidimensional movement and restorative practices.
  • Movement Longevity Practitioners (MLP): Like our Gymnazo coaches, practitioners can design highly tailored programs for optimal performance through intentional movement and soft-tissue work.
We'll soon be releasing the educational criteria required for trainers to qualify as MLS. Stay tuned for more details!
 
Why the change?
We believe in empowering trainers to create their own unique programs rooted in the principles of The MōV Method. This isn't about copying Gymnazo—it's about crafting your vision of multidimensional movement training and building businesses where longevity, vitality, and sustainable health are at the heart of every session.
 
Our goal is to equip more trainers with our updated certifications, support business owners in creating multidimensional facilities like Gymnazo, and provide an accessible path to education that cultivates the next generation of skilled functional trainers.
We're excited to take this journey with you and see how The MōV Method continues to shape the future of fitness—one trainer at a time.
