It has been a crazy six months. Yesterday I passed my board exam. Next week I graduate from massage school. I still have clinic hours to finish, but if the State of Texas does its job, I’ll be licensed at the beginning of December.

I knew jumping back into school full-time would be tough, but man, it kicked my butt. I’m tired, but we keep pushing forward, especially with a new space on the horizon.

I want to take a second to thank my team. I truly couldn’t have done it without them. They’ve been crushing it in the gym; we’re busier than ever, and we’re still growing.

And to everyone who has supported me along the way: Sheida, JD, Harjot, Jeff, all my classmates, and the friends I’ve made. Thank you.

Hands-on work has always shaped how I think about movement, and I can’t wait to bring that into what we do at Motive.

Your training should start with how you move.

At Motive Training, we assess your movement first, then use what we learn to guide your training.

It’s a more intentional approach to building strength, mobility, and control around your individual movement needs.

Assess first. Train with purpose.

Move with more awareness. Move with more control.

KINSTRETCH focuses on the way your joints move, combining mobility, strength, and control to build better movement.

It’s official. We’re expanding in January 2027.

Motive is moving into a larger studio, about 3,000 square feet, and we’re staying in St. Elmo (just two doors down). The extra room gives private sessions more space to work.

I’ll also have my own manual therapy room, and I’ll start offering manual therapy by the end of this year. 💪🏻

Thank you to everyone who made this possible: our clients, friends, family, and especially the team. 🙏🏻🖤💛

More good things to come.

Not every part of your body gets the attention it needs.

Our small-group mobility classes help you work on areas that are often overlooked, from your neck and shoulders to your hips, feet, and toes.

With coach guidance, you’ll explore focused movements and stretches while building a better understanding of how your body moves.

Move with purpose.

Motive Training is hiring.

We're moving into a bigger studio by January. It will stay in St. Elmo, and we'll share the exact location once it's set.

More space means we need more staff. We're looking for people who care about the work and about the clients who walk through the door.

Every client at Motive starts with an assessment and gets a plan built from what we find. Coaching here takes patience and attention to detail. If that's how you want to work, we'd like to hear from you.

We're hiring 1-2 part-time trainers or 1 full-time trainer.

To apply, send us a DM or go to movewithpurpose.com/careers-with-purpose.

If you know anyone who might be interested, tag them or send them our way. 🙏

This is a snippet from our KINSTRETCH Online library of me using a dowel to train the rotational qualities of the elbow in supination.

It’s harder than it looks. I can barely do one rep. 😆

We’ve got over 125 videos in the library and growing. 💪🏻

Our focus has always been personal training, but I personally love KINSTRETCH. However, as we expand our gym and streamline our service offerings, we’re changing how KINSTRETCH operates starting next week.

First, it will be donation-based. Pay what feels right for the class, and 20% of everything that comes in goes to Farmshare Austin, which trains the next generation of organic farmers right here in Austin.

New schedule, since we took Tuesdays and Wednesdays off:

- Monday 6:15-7:15 pm — Lower Body & Spine (with Brian Murray)
- Thursday 5:30-6:30 pm — Upper Body & Spine (with Brian Murray)
- Sunday 10:15-11:15 am — Restore (with Young Brian, plus me covering some Sundays too)

Come as often as you want, pay what you can, and know it’s going somewhere good.

See you in class.

class for fun. Everyone crushed it and learned everything so quickly. 🙏🏻🪢

Thank you all for coming!

Should we do some more ropeflow in ?

Tracy Barkdale is officially part of Motive Training. Boom!

I've wanted another trainer on the floor who can handle pain, beginners, and people who want to get strong, and Tracy does all three. She offers corrective exercise, strength coaching, and martial arts, and she was formerly licensed as an LMT. She co-owns Fox House Martial Arts here in South Austin with her husband Rob.

What sold me is that she's been on the other side of it. Between motherhood and a corporate job, training fell off her list for a while, and getting back to it was rough. She knows what that first session back feels like. Nobody gets made to feel behind with her.

She's taking clients now and will be in the gym a lot more often in the coming months. 😀
