A note from Ryan
Hey, I'm Ryan, founder of Movement Fix.
I think of Movement Fix as my little corner of the internet that I am building to spread health and fitness education to help people keep their bodies as healthy and functional as possible for as long as possible.
When I first went about creating Movement Fix Workshop, I tried to see what was missing in the world of fitness and health education and then build the workshop that I felt needed to exist.
It is essentially a course teaching a combination of assessing lifts, ranges of motion, and trying to find the most opportune way to help an athlete, client, or yourself. Some people need more strength, some need more joint mobility, some need to do stretching for muscular tightness, and others need to just learn how to lift with better technique.
More strength
More joint mobility
Stretching for muscular tightness
Better lifting technique
This workshop is designed to help you figure those things out and shows you ways you can work on them.
After teaching this workshop around 100 times, we decided to film it and make it into this online course to make it more broadly and easily available to access and use. We also worked hard to get this workshop approved for continuing education credits with the NSCA so you can get those if you need them.

What people say
Reviews
“Ryan DeBell and The Movement Fix were instrumental in my initiative for continuing education for my 15 Coaches at CrossFit Illumine. The Movement Fix teaches you that it isn't all about “mashing and smashing” and movement is a lot more complex than what we see at the surface. It is so important to me as a business owner that my Coaches understand the “why” and can articulate that “why” to our members. Ryan has a remarkable ability to take complex ideas and make them easily digestible for the average Coach or Athlete. I highly recommend this seminar if you are serious about professionalizing your coaching staff and business.”
Brian Alexander
Owner, CrossFit Illumine
“I've taken TMF Workshop twice, around one year apart. Both times I was equally impressed. Being a clinician and a crossfitter I found this material beneficial in many ways. Not only were the systems easy to follow, they also allow for creative accessory work that can be tailored to each individual. Ryan is a genuine human being with skills in leadership, mentorship and educating. This was one of the most effective courses I have been to (and I've been to a ton). I'd recommend it to any clinician striving to provide superior care to their patients, any coach who wants to lead their athletes to safe, effective growth, and any athlete looking to expand their knowledge on movement, form and performance.”
