Empowering Professionals to Improve Human Movement
Functional Movement Systems (FMS) is a pioneering education and certification company committed to improving movement health and performance. FMS provides a systematic approach to identifying opportunities to improve movement limitations and asymmetries through objective screening, assessment, and corrective strategies.
At the core of FMS is the belief that quality movement is the foundation for all physical activity—whether in rehabilitation, athletic performance, or daily life. The FMS framework empowers fitness, healthcare, and performance professionals with the tools to enhance client outcomes through better movement awareness, injury risk reduction, and performance optimization.
Used globally by coaches, clinicians, and organizations ranging from professional sports teams to military units, FMS continues to lead the way in movement-based education and innovation.
How does your company help fitness professionals and or studio/gym owners?
Functional Movement Systems (FMS) empowers fitness professionals and facility owners with a proven framework to assess, improve, and maintain quality movement in clients of all ages and abilities. By introducing a standardized system for evaluating fundamental movement patterns, FMS solves one of the industry’s biggest problems: the lack of objective, consistent assessments that inform safe and effective programming.
For fitness professionals, FMS enhances confidence, precision, and accountability. It helps identify mobility or stability limitations, prioritize corrective strategies, and build personalized programs that reduce injury risk while improving performance. Trainers gain a deeper understanding of how to progress clients safely, even those with complex histories or post-rehab concerns.
For studios and gym owners, FMS adds a scalable, science-based service that elevates brand credibility and differentiates the business in a crowded market. It supports client retention by showing measurable progress, facilitates collaboration with healthcare providers, and enhances team consistency through shared language and methodology.
Whether you’re training general population clients, athletes, or aging adults, FMS equips professionals with the tools to do it better—with greater safety, purpose, and results. Ultimately, FMS transforms movement from an afterthought into a foundation, helping fitness businesses thrive through better client outcomes and stronger professional standards.
