Micah Campbell
Micah’s passion for moving and being physically capable started his personal training journey over 10 years ago. However, he quickly realised how little equipped we are as trainers in this industry to coach the general public on how to become better movers, and the lack of tools provided to cater to a wide range of individual needs. This resulted in him developing an immense thirst for movement knowledge, seeking out teachers and exploring physical disciplines such as Crossfit & Yoga.
While he gained a lot of knowledge during this time, it was only when he began studying with movement coaches, that it began to ‘click’… Meaning that what made people feel youthful and physically empowered in his experience was not being very strong in just a few linear isolated movements but rather inhabiting a body capable of moving in many directions, tempos, scenarios with ease and grace.
