Movement is for everyone

Whether you're looking to train, teach, or simply move more, we have a place for you. 

WildStrong offers a practical, community-embedded approach to movement coaching.

Our in-person courses are designed to develop real movement skills, confidence, and the ability to coach others in playful, adaptable ways.

We use a mix of teaching methods, including classroom instruction, peer coaching, role-playing real-life scenarios, and group games.

  • Small groups – so we have time and space to go over topics in real detail.

  • No prerequisites – Our groups are mixed in age and background. Some take part simply to learn more, while others choose to take the Certification, leading to incredible discussions and learning experiences.

  • The Foundational Movement Skills track is for personal development—it includes the same training but doesn’t provide certification or ongoing support.

    The Movement Trainer Certification includes assessment and ongoing coaching support via the Coaching Pathway to help you develop as a movement coach.

  • Unlike most fitness courses, we focus on real movement for real life—not just gym exercises. Our training is practical, adaptable, and designed to work in the real world.

    And unlike other movement courses, we don’t just teach you ‘cool movements’—we give you the skills and confidence to work at the community level and help more people get outside, spend time with others, and move more. This is not about athletic prowess; it’s about realising what you’re capable of and helping others do the same.

    We are not tied to one discipline—we integrate strength training, mobility, parkour, and evidence-based coaching methods. WildStrong is a jumping-off point, not a fixed system. We give you the tools to explore, adapt, and develop your own coaching style, taking what’s meaningful and making it your own. Unlike most fitness courses, we focus on real movement for real life—not just gym exercises. Our training is practical, adaptable, and designed to work in the real world, not just a studio.

  • Absolutely! This course is about learning movement skills, not hitting fitness benchmarks and showing off your tricks.

    We meet you where you are and help you grow. This is not about your athletic prowess, but about you realising what you’re capable of and helping others to do the same.

  • Yes! The Movement Trainer is designed for people who are new to coaching. We provide all the tools, support, and confidence-building you need to become a great movement coach. Some of the best coaches we’ve ever met are those that don’t come to movement easily and so have an embedded and intrinsic understanding of the barriers that others might face when starting to move more.

  • Absolutely, if you decided during the course that you would like access to all the bonuses available to Movement Trainers, you’re welcome to upgrade by paying the difference.

    We asked that you sit the Movement Trainer assessment within one year of taking the in-person course.

  • A Personal Training Qualification focuses on gym-based training, structured exercise programmes, and one-to-one client assessments. It’s often centered around individual performance, strength, and fitness goals within a gym environment.

    WildStrong takes a broader, community-driven approach to movement coaching. We integrate theories of well-being, play, and social connection to create movement experiences that are inclusive, adaptable, and designed for real life.

    Not just workouts, but movement for life – Learn how to coach strength, balance, and resilience in everyday settings, not just the gym.
    Built on well-being science – We draw from positive psychology, self-determination theory, and community-building research to help people stay active long-term.
    Community-first coaching – Instead of focusing only on individual progress, we teach peer coaching, social learning, and movement in groups.
    Inclusive & adaptable – Learn how to support diverse populations, using emergent learning and play-based methods.

    If you want to help people move more, not just exercise more, and build a supportive movement community, WildStrong is for you.

“I absolutely loved being a part of [it]…I came away having learned about myself, learned from others and felt the strong bond of community in the outdoors that Wild Strong has fostered…Just wish I had a Wild Strong nearer me. Every county needs one!” Wendy, Reclaim Movement
