The Movement Matters Podcast

The controversial one. We break down what it is, what we actually understand about it, and how it influences the way we coach and see movement. Plenty of tangents — but that’s part of the fun.

We explore structure, structural and rotational bias, internal fluid momentum — and how the compression & expansion model helps us understand movement and function, working with the body’s biases rather than against them.

In this episode, we explore our personal definitions of movement and challenge the traditional idea of what good movement looks like. We discuss coaching approaches, movement quality, and why context matters when helping people move better.

In this episode, we ask an important question for the coaching industry: can we do better? As personal trainers, coaches or physiotherapists, it’s easy to fall into familiar systems, methods and rules — but are we always serving the individual in front of us? We explore the value of curiosity in coaching, questioning rigid approaches, and creating space for alternative models of movement.

We break down what we mean by an “alternative model of movement” and how this way of thinking shapes our coaching, programming, and the results our clients see. This is Part 1 — the conversation ran longer, but a technical glitch had other plans. Part 2 will follow soon!

Jon and Rhi sit down to chat about why they’re starting a podcast, who it’s for, and what we hope listeners will get from it. Offering an alternative perspective within the fitness industry, a different way of thinking about training and coaching, and a space for honest conversations.

A quick intro to Jon and Rhi — who we are & what we do. The perfect warm-up for what’s to come!
