Uptown Movement

We’re proud of a lot of things we’ve built at Uptown Movement, but the community might be our favorite.

Meet Dorothy and Homer—an unlikely comedy duo who, despite what this video suggests, actually work really hard in class.

Your feet are doing more than you think.

A look back at our Foot Workshop, exploring mobility from the ground up and how the way we use our feet can shape movement throughout the body.

A look back at our Clubbell Workshop.

We focused on the basics: rack position, swings and casts, while working on coordination, strength and control.

And we even put together a little flow at the end.

When Carlos joined Uptown Movement in 2022, he had never lifted weights before.

He decided it was time to make a change.

Since then, Carlos has built strength, consistency, and a completely different relationship with movement.

His story is a great reminder that you don’t have to know what you’re doing before you start. You just have to start.

I CAN'T wait for this year. Really big things coming 🙌

It was great to see the guys from in our space. They really captured what we are all about and it's amazing to see young Irish guys talking on the world. All the best and continued success.

Compassion. It's something we are really hard at giving ourselves but something that we really want our members to grow as they go through this journey.

it's not meant to be easy, not meant to fast, not meant to be linear and will change often.

We need to push ourselves but there is a big difference to that and being mean to ourselves.

Practice it! Compassion isn't about allowing yourself to avoid hard things. It is about communicatin with your body to see what it needs in the moment. Some times that will be hard work, sometimes rest, sometimes softer movement. It's about not judging yourself off unrealistic expectations but more so about meeting yourself where you are at.

It's not easy but it is a skill and skills get better with practice.
