Why career at MOVE is often talked about in the fitness industry?
Are these your current struggles?
A career that was once promising...
You know... the passion, the purpose and the excitement,
But somehow, it started to wane off over time when you're constantly thrown with challenges (shown in circles) that you can't seem to overcome by doing what's within your control.
The truth is...
The conventional path and system for coaches have failed, resulting in many coaches being dealt with cards that could put even the most passionate coach out of the game.
Most of us here at MOVE were once like you, some were lost and constantly on a search for something purposeful, some had even thought of ending their fitness career to pursue something more sustainable.
Our mission is to elevate the welfare and wellbeing of coaches and we are here to bring up healthy and powerful leaders that can impact the world together.
