Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Took weeks of chasing to book a call. Told me a price and then bumped it up. Missed our first call and would only let me reschedule for 9pm or later my time (first call was 6pm). Handled the whole thing with 0 grace, speed or professionalism. Would avoid working with them.

March of 2017 I ended up stumbling upon Bren’s class without knowing a thing about “Movement Training”. If someone asked me today a year and a half later “What is it you do?” I still cannot give them a proper answer because really, we did everything! There have been so many disciplines I have gotten a chance to experience over a year and a half; Climbing, Parkour, Dance, Contact Improvisation, Balance, Locomotion, Gymnastic Rings, Olympic Lifting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu just to name a few! The amount of information, and growth for me personally while training with this amazing group of people was truly intoxicating.

Every class was different and we were constantly challenged with new movement patterns. The repetitive nature of traditional training methods of progressive overloading the same patterns focused on increasing strength, speed, flexibility etc were just not engaging enough to keep me motivated. Movement Training on the other hand was the complete opposite. I did not know what to expect from the classes on a daily basis other than the fact that I would be learning something new! It will challenge your body as well as your mind, your ability to pick up new skills, and give you a chance to work on your weaknesses as well as your strengths.

The atmosphere created within this group has allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and try things I never would have done by myself. It taught me to get over that fear of trying something new and being bad at it. It encouraged me to improve as an individual, and it encouraged me to help teach others even if I felt like it wasn’t my area of expertise. This experience was truly life changing in a positive way and I am extremely thankful to have been in the right place at the right time to have met Bren and the other members of The Movement Cult

Bren is an outstanding teacher and takes the time to carefully plan out the classes. It is natural that everyone is at different skill levels and Bren takes the time to study this and assign the appropriate progression for the individual to improve at the respective skill. What was also great to see in Bren as a teacher, was him being a student as well. Bren is constantly exploring new disciplines and studying under some of the best teachers in the field! I truly believe that having a teacher who is so passionate about the field is an incredible resource to have for anyone, regardless of your goals and reasons for joining.

Thank you Bren for an unbelievable learning experience over the past year and a half; for teaching me and everyone else countless lessons, methods, drills, games, puzzles, and all the fun stuff! To everyone at the Movement Cult, Thank you for the good times, the memories and for being my family away from home.

I strongly encourage anyone in the Bay Area to reach out to Bren and the Movement Cult and see what its like to be a part of this amazing group.

Bren's great to work with and helps individual students work on limiting factors that they have. He works with students to figure out what movements may be causing discomfort and how to work around those pain points and make them stronger. The classes switch between strength training, mobility exercises , parkour related movement and soft martial arts so it doesn't get boring.

Training with Bren has dramatically improved my life. I had debilitating wrist pain for about 6 years and I lost hope for recovery until Bren helped me understand rehabilitation through movement training. Bren guided me through a carefully designed program based on methods he has integrated from worldwide experts on rehabilitation and protective joint strengthening or "antifragility training."

I went from *absolute* zero to hanging, pulling, pushing, hand-balancing, and generally living pain-free.

A few examples of before: hanging with 10% bodyweight, dumbbell bench 5 lb, 5% bodyweight pushup position.

After (at time of writing review): 8 second freestanding handstand, ring pull up with 45lb added, 3 ring dips, ring muscle up, dumbbell bench with 40 lb each hand, 250 lb deadlift, climbing 5.11c and V3 indoors, and much more.

Drop in on a group class, or contact Bren for private lessons, and you will achieve more than you ever thought possible!
