Movement assessments, breathwork techniques, and coaching strategies — trusted by coaches worldwide.
Developing leaders who refuse surface-level fixes and chase lasting change in the movement industry.
Not with trendy hacks or 4-week miracles, but with wisdom, experience, and care that transform lives physically, mentally, and emotionally. At Moved Academy, our mission is to develop leaders who refuse surface-level fixes and chase lasting change.
We believe that coaching isn't just about sets and reps — it's about working with the entire human: body, mind, and emotions. When you understand the language of tension, the power of breath, and the role of the nervous system, you stop guessing and start leading with confidence.
The Founder
After a rock-climbing accident shattered my body, the “experts” offered me pills and painkillers — never solutions. I chose a different path.
I dedicated myself to understanding the human body — the relationship between muscular pain and emotional trauma, the power of movement to heal anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. Over 18+ years, I've performed thousands of individual assessments, owned and operated a CrossFit gym for seven years, and traveled globally to teach and learn.
My mission is to help others transform — coaches and clients alike — so they never have to settle for less than a thriving, confident, integrated life. That's why I built Moved Academy: to give coaches the system, the community, and the confidence to lead with real understanding.
Our Approach
Physiology, psychology, and neuroscience aren't buzzwords — they're the raw material of everything we teach. We show coaches how the body, breath, and brain work together.
Most coaches focus on where the body is. We focus on what the body is doing. Understanding tension — emotional, lived-in, and real — is the key to lasting change.
We develop your coaching voice, critical thinking, and presence. You can only guide others as far as you've gone yourself — so we take you further.
Why Coaches Trust the Method
Richard's story becomes credible when coaches can apply it — clearer assessments, less guessing, deeper client work.
“What Moved Academy has given me is a significantly more profound approach to coach people in what they should actually be feeling in their bodies — not just the positions they should hit, but what that should feel like within the body.”
Student Voices
“This course has taught me how to approach the body as an ecosystem rather than fragmented parts, which is one of the most common themes of today's fitness industry. It's broken down to the point that non-personal trainers or coaches would even understand and put immediately into practice.”
“One particularly helpful aspect of the course was its emphasis on looking at movement through tension rather than position. Overall, I highly recommend this course for any coach looking to deepen their knowledge of coaching techniques and improve their practice.”
“Richard did an amazing job of presenting complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand, and the practical application exercises were incredibly valuable. I now have a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of the human body and how it functions during exercise. If you're serious about your career in the health and fitness industry, then this course is an absolute must.”
