Chicago Movement Gym is a true natural movement gym unlike any other. None of us are a finished product and here at Chicago Movement Gym we’re always looking for “what’s next” and how to keep growing.
CMG believes that developing strength and mindfulness is key to better movement + athletic performance, which naturally improves everyday. We’re looking for people who are able to commit + are willing to form part of the global community that represents Movement Culture. We aim to help people of all ages expand their movement vocabulary, reclaim their range of motion, learn mindfulness in their practice, and build their strength for physical longevity.
We’ve all been there. Worked out, pushed weight, and tried to show off in front of the mirror. Hell...there’s so much equipment that you probably don’t even know where to begin at these big gyms. I mean, who do you even ask for help?
Chicago movement gym is here to make you feel welcome. We’re not here to intimidate you. We only want to help you reach your goals and be a part of our movement family.

"On my spare time, I do enjoy the zen time of being on the water or outdoors with mother nature. I've learned through my years in Chicago, IL; when living in second city one will have a productive work schedule, but one will need to take a break from the space every once in a while."
Meet Lauren

Meet mash
What If I can reach the peaks of my potential?
What if all of my injuries were avoidable?
What if working out was more like a dance, rather than a task?
The 3 “what ifs” that represents a constant journey and eagerness in search of the most efficient ways of movement.
Movement is a huge part of who I am: my personality, my passion, my intention. For as long as I can remember, I was always playing one sport or another. From running track, swimming, playing Football ( the real football) to basketball, tennis, and the list continues.
From sports, I shifted my attention to martial arts starting with Ninjutsu continuing on to Krav Maga and finally, my favorite so far, Capoeira!
Being active definitely has its benefits, but the down side of such a lifestyle are without a doubt, injuries. I used to blame my injuries for the reason why I didn't reach my goals within those activities, but now I try to shift that energy towards learning from injuries.
Working with Dr. Khong has made that process much easier, enjoyable, and educational by providing knowledge and guidance of movement so that in the future injuries will not take such a toll on my body.
I am forever a student with the glass half full. Joining the movement culture here in Chicago has taught me so much in such a short time. I’m excited to continue to learn, as well as to help others reach the peaks of their movement potential.
“We don’t stop moving because we grow old; we grow old because we stop moving”
Come move with us and lets make working out feel like a natural dance!
