Your Sign Out Front

Community
By meeting other groups and professionals who use the space, you'll build a network who may refer clients to your services. You'll also learn from these other disciplines which can enhance your knowledge and promote cross-promotional offerings.
Our goal is to build a community of people who appreciate the power of movement to build health and self-awareness by sharing our space with high quality, wellness-oriented professionals or groups and their clients, especially those who are underserved or marginalized in the broader fitness environment.
About
Movement Collective was started by local fitness professionals hoping to foster their independent businesses by sharing space and working together.
Sam (center) and Brian (right) both began their journey of conscious movement by training in Shaolin Kung Fu under Sifu Joseph Meissner (left). Eventually Brian started his own gym called Cypress Fitness and Sam took over operations of New Orleans Shaolin, the martial arts school. They began to envision a single location that could house both businesses and foster cooperation, mutual benefit, and lower overhead. This vision was the groundwork for the Movement Collective.
As the idea grew, they decided to open the space up to even more businesses, found a location in Downtown New Orleans, and Movement Collective was born.
