How it all started.

After years of both working independently within more traditional fitness gyms, Nick and David were united through a mutual desire to deliver a more integrated approach to “health and fitness”. One that focused more on innate human function over simply looking good.

The Movement Loft opened its doors in June 2019 and is currently the only dedicated Movement studio of its kind within Belfast city center.

Collectively, we have over a decade of coaching experience and strive to continuously sharpen our knowledge and service in the hope of helping others.

Philosophy.

Our primary focus at The Movement Loft is in helping others improve their overall health and function, rather than simply burning calories or building muscle. The human body is incredibly complex and adaptable, requiring more than what traditional “fitness culture”, modern lifestyle, or any single training system can offer.

We have adopted principles, movements, and training protocols from many systems to provide the most well-rounded training for our students.

We aim to build a base of strength, mobility and movement quality to allow our students to express their physicality in whatever way brings them joy, meaning, and fulfillment.

It is our firm belief that physical training and practice is a powerful tool for self-development and transformation that should be approached from a place of excitement and gratitude over a sense of inadequacy or shame.
