Why Moved Academy?

Most coaches know anatomy and programming—but they're still guessing. Why? Because they don't understand tension, torque chains, or how the nervous system drives movement. This course teaches you the Moved system: a science-backed framework that shows you how to assess movement, identify root causes of dysfunction, and program with precision. You'll learn to see what others miss—and get results that keep clients coming back.

Taught by Richard Aceves

Richard Aceves has spent 18+ years developing the Moved system—teaching coaches, physiotherapists, and trainers worldwide how to see movement differently. His approach goes beyond standard anatomy: you'll learn to read torque chains, assess nervous system states, and understand how tension (not just position) drives dysfunction and performance. This is the framework that's helped over 1,000 coaches charge more, retain clients longer, and get results that actually stick.

“Movement and positive stress can affect our mental and emotional states to a better and healthier life. This course has taught me how to approach the body as an ecosystem rather than fragmented parts, which is one of the most common themes of today's fitness industry. It's broken down to the point that non-personal trainers or coaches would even understand and put immediately into practice.”

“The Fundamentals of Coaching course was an excellent resource for strength and conditioning coaches looking to improve their skills. The course stressed the importance of building relationships with athletes and tailoring training programs to their specific needs, all while taking into account the intricacies of the nervous system.One particularly helpful aspect of the course was its emphasis on looking at movement through tension rather than position. This approach recognizes that movement is not simply a matter of achieving certain positions but rather involves a complex interplay between the nervous system, muscular tension and joint mobility. By understanding this relationship, coaches can develop more effective training programs that challenge the nervous system in a targeted way and lead to better results for their athletes. Overall, I highly recommend this course for any coach looking to deepen their knowledge of coaching techniques and improve their practice.”

What You'll Walk Away With, And How It Pays Off

You’ll leave the Moved Fundamentals Course with more than theory.


You’ll know how to assess, coach, and program with precision. Understanding the why behind every movement, breath, and response.

You’ll gain:

  • A clear framework for reading movement through the nervous system, breath, and torque chains.

  • The ability to identify the root cause of pain or inefficiency, rather than just chasing symptoms.

  • Practical tools to build smarter programs and guide your clients out of recurring injury.

  • A new level of confidence in your voice, your assessments, and your results.

How it pays off:
Coaches who complete the Moved Fundamentals Course report that they experience stronger client retention, faster results, and 20–50% higher session rates.


Because when you understand movement as a system, you stop guessing and start coaching with clarity that clients feel.
