Instructor Highlight: 🏋️Meet Bryan!🏋️
✖️Bryan has been with Movement for 2 years and is a huge part of Grapevines fitness community
✖️He enjoys teaching people who want to make a positive change in their lives and push forward to become healthier. He states that’s the most enjoyable part of being a fitness coach.
✖️What Bryan like to do for fun outside of working out includes: climbing, long-boarding, archery, video games, building legos, and lots of other things that he wants to jump into and try.
✖️His favorite class to teach is Core, because it makes him join in and endure in the pain with everyone else while also developing a stronger core
✖️His favorite exercise is over head press, it is the exercise that feels the most powerful, to push the weight over your head and hold make you feel like Atlas (the titan in Greek mythology)
To sign up for his next class, check out our calendar with our link in bio to register today! 💪💪
It’s gonna be May 🎶🌼

lights out late night was a blast at grapevine last friday 💡💡 check out our calendar (link in bio 👀) for the next LOLN near you!.
SBS kicked off earlier this month with our first qualifier at Denton! Swipe ▶️ for a recap of the action + current season top standings for all categories!
Now, we’re onto the next with SBS Design District right around the corner on May 10. Fun fact - this will be Design’s FIRST EVER bouldering comp (they grow up so fast 🥹)!
Missed the first one? No sweat - your season score will take into account your top 5 scored boulders from throughout the season, so you still have 2 opportunities to get your boulders in! But, competing in more events does give you more chances to score big! Climbed boulder #26 at 2 events as some of your top routes? That score counts twice. Pickin’ up what we’re puttin’ down? Learn more about scoring on our SBS info page at the link in bio! 🔗

👋 Swipe to meet Michael and David - the dynamic duo leading the Movement Plano team!
Michael is our newest addition to the DFW leadership team (despite working here for a full year this month)! Originally from Boston, this girl dad of 2 daughters is a huge sports enthusiast who loves basketball, football, and baseball. Around here, we also know Michael to be a top-tier vest connoisseur 🦺
David started climbing in 2017 (actually with our friends @movementgymsdmv!) and has been passionate about fitness well before that - he even used to manage our fitness program! This Maryland native is a proud pet dad to 3 huskies and 2 cats. When he`s not connecting with members at the front desk (his favorite part of the job!), you might catch him playing lacrosse or coaching the JP LAX team!
Both of these guys are super friendly and love to chat - so next time you see `em in the gym, don`t be shy, say hi! 😁

our director
Abbie was born and raised in Kaukauna, Wisconsin where the cheese and Green Bay Packers reign supreme. Though she’s lived in many places across the U.S., Abbie settled in Texas in 2014 and considers it home. When she’s not at Movement, you can find her relaxing at the beach, swimming in the ocean, or curled up by the fire with a documentary. Abbie lives by the motto “NO REGRETS only LIFE experiences” so don’t be surprised if she’s the first to try something new and adventurous! Abbie looks forward to bringing her adventurous spirit and passion for fitness to Movement.
