What is Movement

I’ve tried many gyms and yoga studios, as well as physical therapy and chiropractors, and nothing can compare to the positive impact that What Is Movement has made on my life.
I suffer from chronic neck pain and other effects of sitting at a desk, and I am so happy to have found a studio that perfectly blends getting a great workout with healing and prevention against future injuries.
Owners, and dynamic duo, Jayme and Jamie have created a community that is fun, welcoming, and open to all levels. Even as they continue to grow, Jayme and Jamie make a special effort to understand each clients personal needs, and provide you with the attention and guidance that you need to reach your goal. Whether that goal be weight loss, healing, injury prevention, or just an outlet to de-​stress and have fun, What Is Movement is a must try!

Did you ever find a place– any place– that you loved so much, you wanted to tell everyone you knew about it, but really wanted to keep it all to yourself, both at once?
That’s how I feel about What Is Movement.
I keep putting off writing this. Because I want to keep it my secret place.
But… Really, everyone should check this place out.
What Is Movement is a gym/​studio owned by Jayme and Jamie, a husband and wife team, who have created this amazing, supportive community. «Boy Jamie» (yes, that’s how they refer to each other!) teaches kettle bell, ViPR (google it, seriously, it’s so cool), and metabolic resistance training classes, in addition to personal training. «Girl Jayme» teaches yoga, and does private yoga and body work sessions, as well as running a Monday night «stitch and bitch» group.
And there are more members of the team: Jessie teaches Forrest yoga on Thursday nights; Gianna teaches yoga three times a week; and they have just added a chiropractor and massage therapist to their growing group of health gurus.
I found What Is Movement through Jessie; Jessie is an amazing Forrest yoga teacher. I would drive nearly anywhere for one of her classes. So, I started making my way to Warwick once a week for her class. I found myself enchanted by the atmosphere at What Is Movement, and asked Jessie about the other classes. The ViPR classes especially intrigued me, but I had a pretty significant hand injury, and wasn’t sure it would be something I could do. Jessie suggested I talk to Jayme before trying out a class.
Jayme knows his… Stuff. Since I first talked to him, I’ve tried all of his classes, and have been consistently impressed with his ability as an instructor in every modality. He watches each student, remembers injuries and provides modifications, and plans for each person to be successful in every single class. I leave his classes sweaty and sore, but stronger and more confident each time. Jayme’s enthusiasm is contagious! And you’ll get to know how intense the class will be by what music is blasting when you walk in (Metallica? It’s gonna be as upper intense class).
Jamie is also a skilled instructor, who uses her knowledge of yoga and anatomy to make each class beneficial for each student. Her bodywork sessions leave you feeling more free, able to breathe deeper. She brings a calm, healing warmth to both her classes and individual sessions.
So that’s my secret. A wonderful place, supportive community, run by knowledgable and caring people. You really should try it out.
