"I've been going to this gym for nearly a year and the improvements I've seen in my life are truly immense. I've lost over 50 lbs of fat, gained a huge amount of muscle, and helped stabilize and strengthen my knees. Kleanza has been a phenomenal resource and guiding presence. Jake, Alex, and everyone else at TML are consummate professionals and extraordinarily good humans. I cannot recommend this gym enough."

"Working out at The Movement Lab was a transformative experience. Their consistent focus on proper form and steady progress led me to doing things I never imagined I could do. As a menopausal woman, strength training has become central to my health and wellbeing and I have Alex to thank. I worked with Alex twice a week for two and a half years. He even helped me find a StrongFirst certified trainer when I moved. Changed my life. There's no one better in Raleigh!"

"It's hard to overstate the kind of change that training here had on me. I am one hundred and sixty pounds lighter because I emailed these folks in November 2023. My health is better, I can find clothes easier, every part of my life is better. If you are just getting started, there is no better place than the Movement Lab. They'll push you to improve but not punish you. More than anything they'll support you. Though I still ain't ever deadlifting to Sweet Caroline."

"I had tried everything for eight years of chronic back pain — PT, acupuncture, PRP, chiropractics. I was told surgery was my only option, which I refused. After the first session with Alex I experienced pain-free movement for the first time in years — something no other treatment had accomplished. Now I'm doing pull-ups, one-arm push-ups, sled pushes, and deadlifts — all completely pain-free. Alex has given me my life back."

"My first session was December 31, 2024 and I'll never forget it. I had never done strength training and was super nervous. Then I met Kleanza and every fear disappeared. Her workouts are intentional, challenging, progressive, and always tailored to my body. Since training with her I sleep better, feel stronger, and can now do push-ups, squats, and planks with real confidence. She's the real deal — kind, knowledgeable, and truly one of a kind!"

"A safe, intelligent, and personalized progression toward strength and greater well-being. Coming up on my one year anniversary and I'm so happy to be stronger and more stable than when I started. Arriving with injuries and in pain, Jake listened, observed, and got me breathing more effectively and moving more efficiently. I always look forward to my workouts — the perfect balance of proficiency and challenge!"

"Alex is awesome! I was having a lot of lower back issues — no strength, limited mobility, sciatic nerve pain. After just a couple months, that's all gone. I feel stronger and more confident playing with my kids, and have learned a lot about posture and movement to help prevent future issues."

"I'm not exaggerating when I say training with Alex has been better than any physical therapy I've ever done — including 6 months of PT for this exact shoulder injury. His knowledge of movement patterns is so thorough that a halfway-gibberish complaint gets a suggestion that solves it 99% of the time. Somehow I'm steadily progressing but rarely sore. This gym has been revolutionary for my recovery and is worth every single penny."

"Kleanza is an outstanding trainer with a deep understanding of movement, strength, and body mechanics. She tailors every workout to how your body functions, making each session effective and sustainable. I've gained noticeable improvements in strength, mobility, and confidence. I can't recommend her enough."

"I tried four different trainers before finding Movement Lab — it was a game-changer. They prioritize technique and make sure I'm moving correctly before adding weight. It's a huge confidence boost to know I'm doing things the right way. Every workout is completely tailored to my specific goals. If you're serious about fitness and want a team that genuinely cares, The Movement Lab is the place to go."

"I worked with Alex for 6 months and it was one of the best investments of my life. After years of running I'd developed an asymmetrical pattern and couldn't hinge properly. Alex worked with me in small increments until I could hinge and swing correctly. His cues have stayed with me — I've incorporated kettlebell work into my routines twice a week ever since."

"Both my husband and I have trained at Movement Lab for nearly 2 years. They took time to understand our limitations, listen to our goals, and make sure we progressed at a healthy pace. No mirrors, only 2–3 clients at a time — you can focus with privacy and without distractions. Finding The Movement Lab truly changed our perspective on strength training."

"I've been working out with Kleanza for about 7 months and I feel so strong! She's very cognizant of any aches and pains and tailors the program to my current needs. We've slowly gotten heavier and heavier and I can visibly see my shiny new muscles."

"You won't leave the Movement Lab dripping in sweat or so sore you regret the workout. You will feel energized and ready for more. I had never done a single pull-up and made it a goal. Four months later I did my first unassisted rep — then progressed to 9. You can't go wrong with the Movement Lab. They help you learn the skills to be strong."

"All of the trainers at The Movement Lab are 10/10. I'm stronger than I've been in a long time and only getting stronger every day. Totally approachable, easy to talk to, friendly, and knowledgeable. I HIGHLY recommend them if you are ready to get moving again."

"I've been working with Kleanza for about 6 months just one day a week and have made huge progress. She has made very specific adjustments that have helped me improve balance, form, and overall confidence in very challenging exercises. Her attention to detail and patience is greatly appreciated!"

"After falling off the wagon, Movement Lab is amazing! From my initial assessment with Alex to working out twice a week with Kleanza, I'm feeling better and can see myself regaining strength. I love the personalized approach — moving slow to ensure proper form before adding weight."

"I've had an incredible experience at The Movement Lab! What truly sets them apart is their thoughtful, individualized approach — every session is carefully tailored to my specific needs. Jake is an exceptional trainer with a deep understanding of strength training and kettlebell techniques."

"I love training at The Movement Lab. The guys are very knowledgeable about body mechanics and help me train in a way that is safe, sustainable, and functional. I am stronger than I have ever been, at a level I feel certain I could not have attained on my own. Not intimidating at all — usually not more than 2 people training at a time."

"My husband and I come to The Movement Lab twice a week and have both seen amazing increases in strength and overall health. We're very thankful to have found trainers that not only care about results but doing it safely. Highly recommend for anyone looking for one-on-one training in a clean, relaxed atmosphere."

"I cannot say enough amazing things about The Movement Lab team. They are knowledgeable, caring, answer all my questions, and make sure my training is helping, not hurting me. I've dealt with several injuries and the team is helping me get back on my feet — both literally and figuratively."

"My husband started training here years ago and after witnessing his improvement with chronic back issues, I wanted to try it myself. I've been working out for about 18 months and feel the strongest I've ever felt. Even on days my body has a various ache (thank you, toddlers!), I always leave feeling better than when I walked in."
