She flew to Dubai with a “delusional” plan to become a global movement coach… with only six months of teaching under her belt.

NEW POD EPISODE 🎙️ comment POD for the link to listen!

I sat down with @movedbymon — global ride and strength coach, @_houseofride’s One to Watch, founder of @twenty3.collective and currently on residency at @animo.brussels in Brussels — and her origin story is genuinely one of the wildest and most inspiring things I’ve heard on this podcast.

Six months into coaching.
A “delusional” dream to share movement as a mental health tool with the world.
A genius plan involving Emirates Airlines, free coaching, and cold DMs to studios she’d never been to.

She got the job. She started to remove a tattoo she loved. She flew to Dubai. 10 days in, they saw the remnants of the tattoo and fired her.

She stayed in Dubai anyway, sleeping on couches and offering to volunteer at the front desk of a studio in exchange for classes.

Four years later she’d built one of the most respected coaching careers at premiere cycling and strength studios— then, she left on her own terms — because something bigger was calling.

We get into: → Coming to cycling through a really hard personal season — and building an entire coaching philosophy out of it → The free Saturday night youth rides she created to give young people a sober, safe space → What it means to be a “space holder” and a “multiplier of potential” → The Flow Method she developed and taught in Morocco → Why genre variety in your playlist is the hill she will die on → The mantra carrying her into this next chapter: everything that breaks, breaks in my favour

This one is for every fitpro who has ever had a goal that sounded completely unhinged to everyone around them 🫶

Comment POD and I’ll send you the link to listen!

Together we…
danced.
laughed.
cried.
moved.
felt.
released.
connected.

Together we grow.

An unforgettable experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. No words will ever be enough. So I will settle for these: To the 2,500 of you - infinite thanks. You are beyond incredible. My heart will have this day tattooed on it forever.

Euro summer memories: THE EXCHANGE

Finally did the thing we’ve been talking about doing. Movement & mental health conversations in one. It wasn’t perfect. It wasn’t the big finished polished final product I imagine in my head. But the first one never is. And I guess that was why we made the topic of conversation “showing up imperfectly”… because the things that we dream of and plan for deserve to be brought into this world — imperfect, “incomplete”, small scale… before they can become and grow into something bigger. The seeds have to be planted before the tree can grow. So this was that.

An exchange: between coaches, between studios, and between communities. Real. Authentic. Offline (until a month later lol 🙃) and that’s enough for me, because it represented putting one foot in front of the other and a willingness to try. taken in Amsterdam, Netherlands by @movedbymon

A year ago she was an application in our inbox. Now she’s telling you to hit apply.

Fun fact: @movedbymon, our first ever One to Watch, applied at the very last minute last year. So if you’re still thinking about let this be your sign.

Applications for 26/27 close this Friday. You already know what to do. Link in bio. by @movedbymon

For as long as I can remember, airport drop offs and pick ups have been a love language in my family. And every flight I take, there my Mom stands waving me goodbye through security until I’m all the way through and she can’t see me anymore. How lucky am I to know a love like this. 💛 by @movedbymon

Not the actual workout, but maybe a space like this. The release. The people. Somewhere to put everything you’ve been carrying so your head can finally be quiet. Thank you bike for being that thing for me. 🫂🥲

The courage to try, born out of a conversation. Imperfectly. Messy. Authentically. Together.

We are proud to present the first edition of The Exchange by @nikkivdvaart & @movedbymon

Two cities. One honest and vulnerable conversation around fear, the courage it takes to show up imperfectly, and keeping the promises we make to ourselves to live up to our full potential. We’re using movement as a catalyst for transformation in two back to back duo Empowerment Rides.

Today, for the first time, I got back on the bike. I also did up a zipper on my gym bag for the first time in a month. Opened a bag of coffee to make my own espresso at home. Carried a bouquet of flowers. Turns out the little things are not so little.

I miss riding. I miss moving freely, carefree, and pain free. I miss so many things I took for granted that I didn't even realize I relied on my hand for. Sometimes the biggest lessons of gratitude come from having something taken away from you, and realizing that the little things are not actually little at all.

Let’s talk: What tools are you using as a coach to make your people grow? Do you think you’re using everything available to you or have you unintentionally put yourself in a box? by @movedbymon

Challenging the belief that making space to sing, clap, and just vibe takes away from the athletic training. Connection and joy are real predictors of performance. If you don’t believe me, just watch.
