Description
Set the Baseline. Train with Intent.
The FMS gives trainers, coaches, and healthcare providers one repeatable standard for evaluating movement — so every programming decision starts with what the client in front of you can actually do.
You can't program with precision for a client you haven't measured. Without a movement baseline, you're working from guesswork — and guesswork shows up later as plateaus, setbacks, and injuries you might have seen coming.
The FMS Level 1 Online Course teaches you the Functional Movement Screen: seven fundamental patterns, objective scoring, and a clear path from what you observe to what you program. It was designed to challenge specific movements and confirm readiness for higher-level activity — which is why it's the standard from elite sports teams to rehab clinics worldwide.
By the end, you'll run the screen the same way every time, score it reliably, and use the results to make smarter decisions for every client and patient — including when to correct, when to progress, and when to refer.
Leave With The Ability To
Set a movement baseline for everyone you work with — one repeatable standard for movement quality, whether the person in front of you is a patient, an athlete, or a new member.
Standardize your onboarding — every client and patient starts with the same screen, so your intake is consistent no matter who runs it or where.
Manage injury risk with a system — identify the limitations and asymmetries that matter, and address them before they interfere with training or recovery.
Make decisions on objective data — program, progress, modify, or refer based on scores you can track and retest, not impressions.
Communicate with confidence — explain your reasoning to clients, patients, and other professionals in a shared language backed by findings.
Stand out in your field — add a credential and a system recognized worldwide, from elite sport to rehab, that separates you from professionals who skip the screen.
Hear from our Professionals
We used FMS with every player as part of our initial screening and evaluation process before training even began. It allowed us to individualize programming by identifying weaknesses, imbalances, and asymmetries so we could improve functional movement patterns from the start. FMS became the foundation of our entire program — everything we did built off of it.
- Jon Torine, Strength & Conditioning Coach
The Functional Movement Screen has become an essential part of our injury prevention and return-to-sport process. It allows us to identify movement dysfunction early, build more targeted corrective exercise programs, and communicate effectively with both clients and coaches to drive better outcomes.

After the course I realized how much can be missed in assessment. FMS gives you a repeatable system — use it properly and it works. It helps you find the right entry point so you can assess and act with confidence.
- Peter Fisher, Personal Trainer
The program fits into real life: I studied after work and after my kids went to bed. It gave me practical education that directly improved how I coach clients.
