The Movement Headquarters Inc.

Fantastic experience: Best way to start your day. The Movement Team does an awesome job with programming and coaching to help you reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Movement HQ if you’re looking for a gym that is welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. The programming is high quality, and adaptable to meet all fitness levels. All coaches are professional and show a great level of expertise when it comes to exercise science. Coaches are attentive during the workouts, and will advise in a kind manner of how to improve form, an alternative exercise, or be there to cheer you on during your last set. The gym itself is well maintained, clean, organized, and spacious. You will be made to feel welcome on your first visit, and supported during your daily workouts. This is hands down the best gym in Barrie!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding staff!!!! Each have great skill and experience gained from their personal training, education and experience. Each trainer does an amazing job in motivating, monitoring and modifying on all exercises. I leave every class feeling great!! Justin, the owner, is a positive example of the hard work and dedication that it takes to excel in strength, body and mind. His workouts are brilliantly planned. Both challenging and beneficial to all levels. I've worked with Justin and members of his team for several years, even before Movement opened. I attribute where I am today physically to my continued work with them. I'm now taking on challenges that I would never have dreamed of before.

Fantastic experience: Great community, the best programming to help you get strong and improve your fitness. 10/10 gym.

Fantastic experience: Shout out to the trainers at Movement! Such an amazing team with so much to offer everyone! I've been working mainly with Julie for awhile now both pre- and post-op for a long-term hip injury. I'm happy to say that I'm not even 4 months post-op yet and my PT has said my progress has been fantastic! (Not to mention my progress at every step of the way, even 2 and 3 weeks post-op I was fooling my PT, Surgeon, and others into thinking I was already months post-op!) Julie has done so much work to help me get into the best place I could have been before my surgery, and worked very creatively to help me work through my (sometimes many) limitations! Her knowledge and insight have not only benefitted me immensely in my recovery journey, but her energy and spirit are amazing! Check out any of the trainers (or bounce between them like I sometimes do!) and you won't be sorry!

Fantastic experience: As someone who has been a part of The Movement HQ for the past four years, I can attest to the incredible journey this gym has taken me on. Being a long-term member has allowed me to witness firsthand the growth and evolution of this exceptional fitness establishment. Throughout these years, The Movement HQ has consistently provided me with top-notch programs and an unwavering commitment to improving longevity through movement, intensity, and variety. The dedication and expertise of owner/head coach Justin Kim and coach Jordan Ford have played a pivotal role in my fitness journey. Their knowledge, guidance, and ability to tailor workouts to my needs have been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. One of the things that has stood out to me over the years is the wide range of programs offered at The Movement HQ. Whether you prefer the energy of group fitness, the personalized attention of semi-private or personal training, or the focus of athletic training, team training, or injury rehabilitation, they have something for everyone. This versatility allows individuals of all backgrounds, from office workers to high-performing athletes, to unlock their full potential through movement. Owner and head coach Justin Kim is a remarkable individual whose knowledge and passion for fitness are truly inspiring. His unique approach to working out and movement challenges you to view fitness as a lifestyle rather than just a routine. Justin's expertise and guidance are invaluable in helping clients reach their fitness goals and improve their overall well-being. Coach Jordan Ford is another outstanding member of The Movement HQ team and my personal coach. His ability to program body-changing workouts tailored to individual needs is exceptional. What impressed me the most is his skill in adjusting workouts based on how your body is feeling, ensuring a safe and effective training experience. Jordan's attention to detail and commitment to his clients' success make him an invaluable asset to the gym. Moreover, the sense of community and support I have experienced at The Movement HQ has been truly remarkable. Over the years, I have formed lasting friendships with fellow members who share a common passion for fitness and a desire to lead a healthy lifestyle. The gym's welcoming atmosphere has made every workout session enjoyable and motivating, creating an environment where personal growth and progress are celebrated. As a long-term member, I have had the privilege of witnessing the continuous improvements made to the facility. The Movement HQ ensures that their equipment is up-to-date and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and safe training environment. In summary, my four-year journey at The Movement HQ has been nothing short of transformative. The dedication to longevity, the diverse range of programs, and the exceptional coaching staff have made this gym a second home for me. If you are seeking a fitness establishment that fosters growth, community, and personalized attention, I wholeheartedly recommend The Movement HQ.

Fantastic experience: If you are a young athlete who is looking to make the next step, I highly recommend working with Justin and his crew. You will be put through workout programs specific to your sport, that will make an impact on your game immediately. I have been working with Justin for the past 8 years and he is a huge part to why I’m playing my sport at a university level now.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been seeing Justin and his team at MVMT for the last year and a half and are so happy we joined! Programming is always focused to our individual needs and the training staff are always attentive as they take us through our workout to make sure we are doing everything correctly and challenging ourselves. It’s a fantastic facility but also a great community of people to be apart of!

Fantastic experience: 100/10 , I was so nervous to start going to the gym due to my inexperience and weight but was reassured there was a place for me here. I couldn’t believe how comfortable I felt right away by the staff and environment. I really felt connected to other people in the same groups as me and was shocked to even make some friends. I never thought I would feel excited to go to a gym at 6am but I really felt that everyday was a new challenge and I got to learn something new! They even helped me through a really tough pregnancy with movement and careful advice. I appreciate all that they have done to help me in my fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Why go to World Gym when you could go to the Best Gym in the World! extremely knowledgeable coaching staff, encouraging sense of community, exceptionally clean space and great results

Fantastic experience: Justin and his team of coaches are the absolute best. I am a local chiropractor and always feel confident referring patients for strength and condition to help them in their progress. The group classes are the best vibe and always an encouraging and judgment free atmosphere whether you are picking up a barbell for the first time or a seasoned weightlifter!

Fantastic experience: Over the years I’ve tried the corporate gyms, the online workouts and I’ve also tried the small local gym classes and personal training but none of it has compared to my experience at The Movement HQ. I’m encouraged to show up my best self but also to respect my body when it needs adjustments, a slower pace or an offload week. I have never experienced the level of customizations, attention and care as I have here. Anyone can take a personal training certificate, but at the movement HQ it is evident that these are trained professionals bringing far more to the table with their lived athletic experience, education in athletic therapies, mindset work, roster of athletic teams/clients, and integration of Neuro therapy. Investing in training here has been an integral part of my healing and regaining of strength and has been worth every penny.

Negative experience: $180 here or you and 9 of your friends at world gym for $20/month. You decide….

Fantastic experience: The Movement Headquarters has been awesome to me. The Coaches are exceptional and genuinely interested in every member – no matter their fitness level. Coaches are dedicated to help members achieve their goals. I highly recommend The Movement HQ to anyone to improve their fitness, their strength, their health, their well-being. I look forward to walking through the fitness studio doors and always feel accomplished when I leave. The professionalism of staff, up-to-date equipment, organization of the facility, commitment of staff and cleanliness is beyond expectation!

Fantastic experience: The Movement HQ is one of the most inclusive gym environments I have ever attended. With phenomenal coaching staff, and other people who attend. Would strongly recommend anyone, no matter age, or gender to join!!! The gym is very clean and open spaced with lots of windows to feel the sun beaming on you while working out! There’s so much different variety, and the coaches are so adaptable into helping you achieve your personal goals.

Fantastic experience: I can't lie...I'm not a fan of working out. It's strenuous, and I'd rather just sit around and drink a coke. But truth is, despite that, the Movement HQ and the people who run it make me want to get up off the couch and actually do it. Very motivating. And while the workouts are challenging, I don't feel the need to push myself to any extremes or to overdo it, while at the same time feeling supported enough to give it my all. Always a bit of a pain the next day, but always work it. Special shout outs to coaches Julie, Cassandra, Jordan, and Connor who filled in for Julie. All of them were great and got me moving. Definitely feel more motivated, and am always looking forward to my next session now. As well - worth mentioning - because it's a structured workout I don't need to spend hours every week planning my workouts. They're varied, and I get to hit everything so it's a load off my mind. Pricing is, IMO, very reasonable too. Couldn't reccommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Love love love this gym. The trainers are amazing and so supportive and push you the right amount to achieve your goals. 100% recommend for anyone looking to get in shape, push your limits or just start getting active again.

Fantastic experience: Great workout and people

Fantastic experience: Supportive environment and awesome coaches. Best fitness facility in Barrie hands down!

Fantastic experience: Being new to Barrie as of this year, Justin and the Movement coaches have been welcoming and inclusive. They have made me feel at home. The coaches are extremely invested in your growth and goals. They explain movements very well and give you ways to modify, if needed. They are cautious of injury and truly care about their clientele. Great gym and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I participated in remote training with Movement Headquarters/Coach Justin for a very long time and I loved it! The programming is so well thought out and tailored to the needs of the individual athlete. It was one of the best programs I ever participated in. Coach Justin helped me get into awesome shape for two CrossFit competitions over the course of a year . The best part was that even though I wasn't training in the facility, I knew exactly every day what I was supposed to be doing and he was available to answer any questions I had. Greatly recommend their services!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at the movement for almost a year now (online/in person). I have never pushed myself so much and I've stepped right out of my comfort zone. I am stronger then I have ever been and love the workouts. The trainers are amazing and truly care about you. The gym is spotless and has all the up to date equipment you need for the workouts. All the workouts can be modified and your injuries (if any) are taken into consideration. I can't say enough good things about this gym - I wish I could give it more stars.

Fantastic experience: Movement hq has given me a better outlook on not only my physical health but my mental health. I look forward to going to class and getting my body moving. Everyone one is so supportive and all the coaches bring their own knowledge and experience to the table -which is nice to have some variation. Id recommend this gym to everyone regardless of where they are in their fitness journy

Fantastic experience: The Movement offers not only excellent, challenging classes with a great balance of mobility, strength and metabolic conditioning and training but also manages to foster an incredible supportive and fun community within their members. They go over an above for their members every day-I highly recommend- one of the best places in Barrie to train!

Fantastic experience: Very supportive environment. Able to support all level of athletes and always pushing them to their best.

Fantastic experience: I love Movement HQ for so many reasons: The coaches are fantastic. The workouts are amazing. The participants/athletes are supportive. Overall, it's a wonderful community that everyone should be part of!

Fantastic experience: My partner and I see a trainer two days a week. We don’t have to think about our workout because coach Justin prepares it for us, for us that works! The coaches are motivating and make sure we’re using proper form to prevent injury. What I love most about working out at Movement HQ is that the workouts are specially designed for cardio, stretching, and strength training . I’m a big questioner, and they always know the “why” behind each movement. I love that!

Fantastic experience: Owner / Coach Justin has created an atmosphere at The Movement Headquarters of physcial / mental well being, comaraderie and inclusivity for all - from the beginner to the most advanced athletes. The fully trained Coaches at The Movement Headquarters are encouraging and dedicated to its members. Throughout the number of Covid lockdowns Coach Justin and his team of Coaches continued motivating and working with members via Zoom and other Social Media. Members were not left to remain idle and wait throughout the lockdowns. The Movement Headquarters is a team environment - members encourage and motivate each other to push through barriers, work harder and continue to improve themselves. If you want to improve your lifestyle, through one on one personal training or group training The Movement Headquarters is where you will find other likeminded members and dedicated coaches.

Fantastic experience: Justin and his team are incredible. They take the time to get to know you, push your limits but also listen to you and take into consideration any injuries and work with you to make sure you’re doing things properly. I was always intimidated by “CrossFit” style gyms thinking I could never do more technical movements but after my first class, I felt comfortable, relaxed and best of all I didn’t feel embarrassed because I couldn’t lift more than 15lbs. This coaching team and top notch community of people that is attracted to this gym are here for a reason: to be their healthiest self and have a great time doing it. 15/10 would recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I love Movement HQ for so many reasons! The programs are always well planned and executed and I always get a great, full body workout. No matter where you are physically, the coaches will be there to motivate and give you that extra push when you need it. The facilities and equipment are very clean and new and the environment is positive and welcoming and everyone is super friendly. I can’t get enough of this place!

Fantastic experience: The Movement Headquarters is by far the best gym I have ever been a member of. The workouts are different everyday, the coaches are there to support you, if you miss a class one day, no worries because it’s all detailed on an app for you and you can do it at home. I feel amazing after every workout and would recommend The Movement 100%

Fantastic experience: I heard about Justin and The Movement HQ through happenstance and so glad I did. After decades of working out I was looking for a new challenge and this has been it! An immaculate, urban-feel space, with tremendous workouts and coaching lead by Justin, Jordon and Cassandra. I am sore all the time…in a good way!

Fantastic experience: I have had nothing but good experiences at Mvmnt HQ. I had almost no gym/barbell/experiences with weights and the coaches here are SO GOOD at helping you get comfortable and learning things step by step. They are also really good at giving pointers and challenging you when its needed :) Love my HQ fam!

Fantastic experience: The coaches are fantastic at Movement HQ. They create an environment that is very welcoming and suitable to all experience levels. One of the best places i have ever been a member of.

Fantastic experience: The programming is both fun and challenging. Justin is knowledgeable, supportive, and clear in his instruction. Extremely happy I signed up!

Fantastic experience: I love the way Justin coaches. It's so refreshing, and as a person that typically rushed through the warming up process of the training, it's so great to have a coach that really focusses on getting my body ready to perform the best. Keep up the great work Justin, your passion, enthusiasm and experience really show.

Fantastic experience: Justin is a spectacular trainer with so much knowledge about movement and fitness. I highly recommend attending his classes for people of all fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: Finally found a gym and a trainer that I feel comfortable with. Justin has been super helpful in helping me meet my goals for strength without compromising flexibility, agility and endurance. This place is awesome.

Fantastic experience: Justin has found a niche in the crowded fitness area. His experience really shines as he has something to teach anyone...from a beginner to an athlete. His programming is far superior and more dynamic than other gyms out there who program a “one for all.” Those programs typically results in injury and frustration. Additionally, his classes are fun too - so it’s a great balance. Whether you are looking for personal training to meet your own goals, or group classes, everyone should give The Movement HQ a try.

Fantastic experience: 10 out of 10!

Fantastic experience: The Movement is the real deal. My body has never felt better.

Fantastic experience: As an ex special forces operator fitness is a huge part of my life. Pushing yourself to the limit to achieve no fail tasks was my way of life. Justin has the knowledge and dedication to take anyone to the next level! He has provided me with lots of insight into various training methods which has helped me increase my levels of training even as a civilian. He knows what’s up. Highly recommend getting after it with him in his new gym!
