— Sarah S.
“Very inspiring and motivating. Just starting, so like your style and encouragement. Thanks”
— JindyAnn A.
“This was such a challenge! Short and sweet, will do often when I have 5 minutes.”
— Rene R.
“Just started (no pun intended, haha) with the first workout. Coming from being an ex-athletic person and a now totally sedentary human that needs to lose 100lbs, has janky knees, and feels pain daily just by being, let alone exercising, I'm grateful for this level of beginning. I'm a super busy mom in the middle of an intense 6 month bootcamp (of the educational kind) and have been really down and embarrassed at what poor shape I'm in. Going to the gym is a personal hurdle I'm not ready for. I've had this subscription for a long time but never used it. I just tailored my home office to be able to turn my computer monitor so it faces the space of the room vs. my office chair easily, put one of our dining room chairs in that space, and am committing to including "Start Moving" as a part of my personal commitment to myself of losing 100lbs in 1 year. I'm excited to feel good in my body again, and StartMoving is going to help me get there.
This is the first workout routine that feels DOABLE for me by being gentle enough for a ROSH (Recovering Overly Sedentary Human)and set in small pieces of time that I will grow as my habit/routine becomes established. And I'm not embarrassed! I love Kaisa's positive vibe and inclusive attitude. I also appreciated the (paraphrasing) "Now, if you hear some snap, crackle, and popping - that is totally normal and fine as long as you're not having pain with it", because I have a LOT of that noise going on!
Today is Day One of my journey, I'm happy to have this program to help me... START.”
— Alissa A.
“I love Rachel. I mean seriously. She’s so encouraging, as all the coaches - truly awesome workout. Giving me a great boost of energy!”
— Stella C.
“This is amazing! It’s so helpful when coming back from an injury or really anytime! Yes, it’s labelled as a start level, but it’s for all levels! Thank you Kaisa and team! Love it!”
— Mamie S.
“The wrist and ankle stretching was great. Lots of unusual and effective positions and stretches -- just as I've come to expect from Start Move and Just Move. Maybe add in a class on address carpal tunnel syndrome? I'd love that!”
— Juhi K.
“nice”
— Bree S.
“This was very energizing. I”
— Dawn M.
“I love this subscription service! For someone who used to be very active and then have not been this is a great place to start. You can ease yourself back into moving without the risk of hurting yourself or "that all or nothing mentality" that a lot of other workout programs support. This is great for beginners or those that haven't been active in some time.”
— Amanda P.
“Yea Me! So excited. So glad you are starting us off in small increments. I’m building a new life style and slow but steady is the way yo go.”
— Lisa C.
“Just started with this app and have found many short workouts that make working out feel do-able! Taking it in small bits always helps me get back to moving. Thanks for taking the "overwhelm" factor out of getting started!”
— Jenny D.
“Great stretching exercises!”
— Priscilla B.
“Great stretch,”
— Rosemarie R.
“Great pace for a beginner. This was great to begin my day!”
— LaToya O.
“That was a quick fun way to get my heart rate up in a small amount of time, all while at my desk at work!! Perfect.”
— Rosalie C.
“I haven’t worked out in a long long time and this was a challenge but felt so good. Looking forward to the next. Thank you.”
— Lilian T.
“Excellent! I've had 5 surgeries on my breast area due to cancer, I went thru physical therapy in 2016-2017. I've lapsed in my exercizing since then. This short, extremely effective exercise is exactly what I need! I purchased the 5-10 minute exercieses for the year, and intend to use these every day! Thank you for these!”
— Catherine P.
“I'm a personal trainer who had lost her mojo. Between a cross-country move I was sad to make and an injury that meant I may need a hip replacement, I felt stiff, old, in pain, and just sort of lost. I had followed Kaisa for a while and knew I respected her approach to fitness, so I decided that while I was not training others and working to slowly heal my own body, I would give her programs a try. It's made a world of difference! I quickly switched from a one-month payment to a yearlong subscription, and soon after that, my husband even began his own movement routine with her programs as well. It's not even been two months, and I'm so happy to say that I feel night-and-day different! Kaisa's gentle but smart mobility routines are a testament to the power of what the *right* kind of movement can do - while exercise can't magically heal my hip, I'm no longer seeking out doctors for an immediate surgery. And while it's true that sometimes people need the help of a good therapist and medication, exercise truly can go so far in adding to one's positive mental state: today I feel stronger, more in control, and hopeful towards the future. My joints are certainly happier, and I am, too. Thank you, Kaisa, for your positivity, your affirmations, your unabashed inclusiveness, and your really intelligent fitness programming. It is just what I need at this moment in time!”
— Niki T.
“Fantastic and doable for someone with substantial chronic neck pain.”
— Alyssa B.
“I just started so far it is good, check back later with me. :-)”
— Dawn D.
“At almost 50, this is the first workout system that has EVER stuck for me. I love how easy it is to follow along and as I get fit I can push myself to make the same workouts more difficult. Thanks so much Kaisa for helping me get fit!!”
— Kelli B.
“so far, so good. Hope to really get a lot from it! the first time was great... to be continued...”
— Rose S.
“I was very doubtful that 5 minutes sitting would make the slightest difference. But how wrong was I!!! I felt an immediate mood shift and my body was fired up to do a workout. Thanks Kaisa, you're awesome.”
— Lesha S.
“This is the perfect place to start if you need to get moving again after long stretches of inactivity. Helps my flexibility and my life-long back issues without feeling like the same old reps. I have been a very satisfied customer of JustMove for well over a year, and the Start series is just one more reason to love it.”
— Elizabeth W.
“I'm 49 years old, and relatively healthy, but completely out of shape. The videos are just enough to push my mobility, which feels like the starting point to everything else. I like the bite sized 5 minute chunks--easier to motivate myself to do "just one" (and sometimes two.) So far so good!”
— Terri C.
“I really like the instructors. There is no judgement about this being a 5 minute workout, just praise for doing it. The exercises feel good! Highly recommend.”
— Lori A.
“Yay! What a great way to start moving again❤️”
— Jan B.
“Very nice stretching!”
— Marca K.
“Thank you all for focusing a series on Sciatica and back pain. I just started this program a few weeks ago in combination with physical therapy & dry needling. Natalie's chair classes have been my first focus. Her cheery personality, clear explanations, and demos help motivate me to keep building a morning stretch routine (I am NOT a morning person). This series of stretches have helped decrease my sciatica and pain significantly. I plan to work through this entire program and incorporate it into my life. Thank you.”
— Carol Ann W.
“I work on a computer all day and this first workout really made a difference because I could feel it opening up my shoulders. Looking forward to more!”
— Candice K.
“Just beginning this and thank you! She is wonderful and so clear!!”
— Denise T.
“OMG! Thank you! Finally a work out program truly designed for the people who have trouble moving. I used to be very fit and did ALL the sports. Then I came down with an autoimmune disorder and no matter how much I WANTED to move, it simply wasn't happening. The constant pain, the muscles that didn't cooperate, and the inability to recover after even a little bit of exercise was absolutely demoralising. Most programs for 'beginners' started at a level far beyond what I was capable of and that was so frustrating and demoralising. This program is designed for those of us who are struggling to move at all, for whatever reason. It got me moving again and hopefully it will keep me moving.”
— Cynthia B.
“I actually enjoyed yoga. This is a good pace and good lead instructions. I want this to be a daily practice for me.”
— Cheryl S.
“This subscription was totally worth the purchase. After only a week, it's already been so helpful to get myself moving and active again. I love that there are short videos for specific movements and longer, more intense workouts. Its varied and interesting. I also really appreciate there are a variety of instructors and styles.”
— Rachel M.
“Meraviglioso”
— Raffaella O.
“Perfect quick morning stretch!”
— Sara C.
“This is just right! From a completely sedentary day to 5 minutes of stretching is do-able. I felt so good that I did a second 5 minute workout and I am about to do a third 5 minute workout. I am so glad Ijoined!”
— Diane B.
“Great workout for your hip❤️❤️ 10 👍”
— Marie G.
“Nice way to ease into a workout!”
— Lucy W.
“Great seated 5 minute cardio workout! I will be adding this one to my favorites. Because of mobility issues at the moment I am having to do seated chair exercises. This one, along with the rest of the Start Moving program, is terrific for those just starting out or just returning to exercise after a long pause. Thanks Kaisa for another great series of workouts!”
— Dana A.
“I needed this. Thanks”
— Diane L.
“Great five minute Routine !”
— Andreas H.
“I just saw a doctor because of pain in my arm that I have not been able to shake or run off. Got physical therapy prescribed which is all booked out and hard to come by. Turns out that starting over with the 30 min mobility is all I needed to unblock whatever kept my arm in pain. I hope this time I will for real stick to your routines Kaisa, so grateful for them! <3”
— Leonie S.
“Honestly have tried so many “beginner” and “low impact” workouts over the years, only to find them too complicated to follow along with & end up discouraged and abandoning it completely. As an overweight person, frequently getting down on the floor & many other aspects of traditional routines just aren’t feasible right at the start. This program was completely different & gave me the motivation to keep at it, even leaving me wanting to redo or explore extra workouts later in the day to get some more activity. Everyone says to start small & take baby steps, finally found a program that actually lives up to that advice. Highly recommend for anyone that has zero workout experience, struggle with keeping up with the “traditional” workouts out there, and just looking to get moving”
— Jennifer S.
“The workouts are deceptively easy but I could tell a difference in my range of motion after the first workout.”
— Lisa N.
“Kaisa,
Thank goodness for you! I love this program, and I love how accessible it is. I am a toddler mom and my body doesn’t respond to movement the way it once did. Your program makes me feel that’s ok, and that I can take it slow and don’t have to be in pain! So excited to continue on this journey.”
— Megan D.
“Great start for a beginner! Kaisa is so very encouraging and easy to follow. Positive way to start my day I’m a stress-free way!”
— DeAnna C.
“Great way to get back into movement when arthritis has taken over your knees.”
— Sandy B.
“I have completed this week by doing class1 ,2 & 3 two times each. A great feeling !”
— Betti N.
“Excellent opening week with a knee surgery recovery. Thank you for this.”
— Glenna P.
“I love every single training, I am always looking forward to move with Kaisa. At the end I always feel empowered and stronger.”
— Maryse L.
“Cool”
— Emmanuel M.
“Awesome beginners workout. I was hesitant to purchase as have tried other beginner workouts that where too advanced for me. This one rocks and instructions are great !”
— Anne Marie R.
“I’m loving the videos and your teaching style! Thank you!!”
— Diana H.
“Came here from Barre 3 after a back injury left me unable to complete even the modified workouts. Love that is truly for beginners. Look forward to more workouts!”
— Kristen P.
“I was someone who was in great shape prepandemic. Due to a shoulder injury, followed by a back injury, followed by depression, I gained a lot of weight and had difficulty exercising. I admit that my ego didn't like starting over but it was the best decision I could have made. The exercises start slowly and each day builds up a little more. Kaisa explains each move thoroughly and is so encouraging! I'm finally optimistic that with a little patience I'll get my prepandemic fitness level back.”
— Debra L.
“I’m under went a double mastectomy in November 2021 and have had 2 additional surgeries since. I’ve had limited range of motion from the surgeries and also general muscle loss of months of chemotherapy. I’m not really a beginner with workouts but I know I need to take things slow. My body is out of shape from treatments and surgeries. This Program is just what I need to get back into the swing of things. I love it!”
— Gabriella M.
“I really enjoy the Start workouts. When starting other beginner workouts, I noticed that I often overdid it or pushed myself too hard or they weren't beginner enough and I would end up hurting myself and not be able to exercise for a while after that.
I love that these workouts are truly designed for people who are not in shape. I love how encouraging the trainers are and how proud of myself I am after I complete a workout, even if I couldn't do all of the exercises. I appreciate that Kaisa stresses that just showing up is a big deal and I couldn't agree more! The shame i've felt over not sticking to exercise routines has often made me never want to return, but shame has no place here and that's why I come back.”
— Rachel A.
“This program is helping me so much, also love it when you email afterwards it helps me keep going!
Thank you for doing this the floor and up and down movement is not something some of us can do.”
— Gabrielle H.
“Yes!!! Just what I needed to feel good about starting back up! Been "sitting" through most of Covid and the further I got away from fitness the more daunting it was to start thinking about getting back to it. Knowing I would be super frustrated if I just tried to jump back into what I used to do ... and then give up (speaking from experience 🥴) ... I knew I had to tackle this differently. - Today was day 1 for me and I feel a tingle in my muscles I haven't felt for a long time and I love it!! Add on to that, Kaisa's energy and supportive spirit and I can't wait for tomorrow! (I did do the first 3 sessions today ... because for me day 1 and 2 were great reminders and warm up ... but I was ready for a little more movement (prob because Kaisa eased me into it so nicely and I was feeling confident)... and day 3 was the perfect level of challenge for someone like me). Thank you! ... I haven't felt this positive about working out in 2 years!”
— Carol P.
“It was enjoyable. I was not able to do some of the moves yet I did what I could and kept moving. Looking forward to the next group.”
— Susan C.
“Im really loving this! Its at the right pace for me as a beginner!”
— Kimberly A.
“I'm using this challenge to slow down and reconnect with my body, even as a trainer. I feels great to be a student again - to remind myself that we are always students of our own bodies as we go through life.
This first week, going slowly some of the movements were challenging, but I felt like Kaisa was right there with me. Giving modifications, which was super helpful and I was able to complete even with chronic injury and pain.
Looking forward to the rest of it. <3”
— Jay-Anne B.
“Easy enough to not feel overwhelming, yet challenging enough to not be boring.”
— Milissa C.
“I really appreciate that you understand what it means to start moving after prolonged inactivity and/or injury. Many programs say they are for beginners, but they mean normally active, healthy, and usually young, beginners. It can be very discouraging to not be able to keep up with something labeled as being for beginners, but your program started from the VERY beginning, and that was very welcome.”
— karli s.
“I didn't do all of last week but wanted to get a quick workout done. I am BUSHED! That was just right!”
— SHARRON M.
“The perfect way to return to fitness! I look forward to working out with you every morning. So glad I decided to give it a try. Thank you.”
— Susan W.
“I just love the slow build up during the start program. I thought using the chair would feel like I’m cheating, don’t be fooled. I can already feel and see a difference. Looking forward to week 2. Oh and I love the chair planks, you can really feel that one!”
— Alìson A.
“Really helpful for me since other than walking, I have been stuck at my desk at work for the past 2 years. This is very helpful for the person who is very out of shape and needs to completely reset their body. I am so glad I signed up for this program!”
— Catherine W.
“Very helpful, very easy to follow and set up perfectly for a person who has not exercised in a while. Very grateful for this program.”
— Nancy M.
“I am qualified PT and a few years ago I become unwell. And I got progressively worse with joint ache and pain, fatigue, RLS, PEM etc. I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, enthesitis and Fibromyalgia. This was soul destroying for me. To go from deadlifting 130kg and climbing mountains to struggling to walk around the block with out needing a nap. To take my body back to basics when I know it has been capable of so much more has been a challenge, but this programme so far has been encouraging and the restart I needed.”
— Taylor G.
“Love it! I used to be so active when I was younger. Then I had a couple of kids. Using this workout so far has ignited my excitement for being active not only for me but for my family! I can't wait to keep moving!”
— Jillian M.
“I love this program! I’m coming back to working out after some health issues, and the careful instruction and encouragement in this program are just what I need.”
— Freedom J.
“I am so thankful for this program! It has been years since I had been active. The START program is just what I need!”
— Barbara A.
“This review is mostly just for Kaisa-- I'm in my mid-twenties and am a former athlete. After years of dormancy in the athletic world, I was stunned and embarrassed when beginning a workout class and being entirely unable to keep up in any way. I felt like my body had failed me. Or more like I failed my body...I was extremely sore, getting injured, unable to perform, and needed to take it so slow when starting. Not only do I love this program, but mostly love YOU. You have the upbeat and "go-getter" personality of the other trainers out there, but none of the shaming. Other trainers may not outwardly shame you, but strongly urge you with "Don't quit! You've got this! Push yourself! Know no boundaries!" And while some of us need that, many of us feel out of our league, embarrassed, ashamed, and silly and then easily give up.
You have the presence and the words that say "You are here. You showed up for yourself. Whatever you can do, do. Don't hurt yourself. Listen to your body. You will get there eventually. This is a process. Slow and steady wins the race. You're on no ones time line but your own." And I LOVE that. I'm kinder to myself because of you. You have changed my view on exercise and movement and I can't thank you enough. Much love xxoo”
— Brynn E.
“I love this foundation series! Able to complete it, and the challenge softly builds. I am more confident in my ability to move my body!”
— Carol L.
“Love the exercises, doable yet challenging. I enjoy feeling strong again.”
— Diana L.
“very easy to follow keeps me motivated”
— Julia S.
“Hi Kaisa, I have just joined the full-year subscription. My husband Philip, is a newer cancer patient and has only just now been able to exercise as we navigate this difficult journey. We are both doing the newest mini mobility challenge. I am so impressed with his motivation and consistency right now. So much of it has to do with your enthusiasm and uplifting manner. While we are working out together, I let YOU do all the talking!
Penny
PS: I have been a personal trainer and group instructor for 34years!”
— Penny M.
“Enjoy the ease of movements and the reminders it’s not about being perfect but listening to our bodies”
— MONICA M.
“This is just the right pace as I'm trying to increase my movement and mobility. I'm 65 and have been sedentary since the COVID lock down, complicated by severe anemia that impacted my breathing and stamina. I haven't had the muscle strength in my legs to start walking. This program, along with the Mini Movement Challenge are helping to build my motivation since they are "short and sweet" and I can make it through each session.”
— Gay T.
“Really appreciate the thorough instructions, the pace and the high fives!”
— Barb H.
“This is exactly what I needed to get active again after falling off the "Taking Care of Me Wagon" for far too long!! I'm recovering from an achiles tendon injury and needed to start with the basics and this is just that. Moving my body again feels amazing. I already feel more limber and just happier in my body. I have more energy every day and I'm looking forward to what's ahead on this journey!”
— Jodi G.
“Love the stretches”
— Nanette R.
“Completed week 1 of the programme after over a year of inactivity and it feels good to be guided back into it safely as I was a bit lost until as to how to get back into working out. Easy to follow and well explained! Looking forward to the next 3 weeks!”
— Pauline L.
“Three down and loving it!”
— Julie P.
“Love it. I've always struggled with exercise & after treatment for breast cancer, chemo & surgery I have felt very unmotivated & really scared to move a lot. A friend suggested Kaisa & I have to say I have enjoyed it so far. I've just been taking it slow, but that is the great thing about classes online. Kaisa is so encouraging. I have to say I do feel better after each session, even if it's just a short one. Thank you Kaisa & team. Best wishes from Kate. Sydney Australia.”
— Kate B.
“A great foundational workout that will allow me to steadily build on form and movement. I can say that I know I will stick with this...”
— Alissa H.
“I feel awesome and I am so proud of myself. The exercises, the foundations, are a great way to get back in shape. The workouts are not overwhelming and I'm actually looking forward to week 2.”
— Francoise S.
“I am thankful for this workout program. I have always worked out; mostly HIIT, weight training, and yoga. After contracting COVID this past January, I lost all of my muscle and strength and it has been so difficult getting back into fitness. So I decided to get this program to ease my post-COVID body back into working out again and so far so good. It's been very frustrating not being able to jump back into my normal workout routine, but I'm learning to be patient in dealing with this long-term recovery.”
— Naomi W.
“So far so good!”
— Marjorie B.
“These workouts are amazing for a beginner! We look forward to each one! Jennifer & Lynn”
— Jennifer H.
“These are by far the best workouts I have ever attempted. I am coming out of a long illness and needed to start moving but everything I tried was too difficult and discouraging. I have been able to complete these workouts and feel a sense of accomplishment. I can't wait to see where this takes me.”
— Charlotte A.
“It's fantastic! I'm enjoying the pace -:it's what I can keep up with for the moment. The way the exercises are explained step by step is great and also that there are different options given if you are unable to do it.
Very pleased to have signed up!”
— Lara T.
“This program is exactly what I needed. So many “beginner” programs have left me hurt and frustrated. This program starts off just as slow as advertised. I have bad lower back problems and so far so good! Thank you!”
— Becky S.
“Exactly what I needed to get moving again. And because it is very manageable both in time and level of difficulty, I just do it without having to negotiate with myself. And I love the deconstructed movement to learn the proper form from the beginning. Looking forward to progressing within this platform.”
— France L.
“A good slow pace but challenging”
— M D.
“Loving these workouts with Kaisa - just the right balance of strength, cardio and stretch. Can't wait to see what's coming up next! :)”
— Erica G.
“I have been looking for the right program to get back into fitness and increase my mobility after losing all balance and flexibility. I have yet to figure out what is wrong with me, but a program that allows me to use a chair/walker/wall while still helping me improve has been invaluable. I wake up every morning excited to do my routine and it's amazing having the long and short videos to choose from depending on how much time I have. I look forward to graduating to more routines!”
— Brandy H.
“Completed first day ... I feel amazing ... Love it!”
— Denna G.
“I got hooked on Day 1.
After trying various methods of exercise and losing weight, I had given up. Every "beginners" level was way more difficult for someone trying to go back to the basics of movement and form. The START Bundle and Kaisa's genuinely cheery disposition and warmth has forever changed my relationship with my body. THANK YOU!”
— Sofia F.
“These are exactly what I need right now. These workouts are well-planned, and leave me feeling more open, stronger, and happy in my body. The pacing is deliberate, and I especially appreciate Kaisa's pointers about form, breathing, and appreciating my body. I wondered whether I should purchase this for a couple of weeks, and I am so glad I did. Kaisa is such a positive presence in my days! Feeling very grateful for her and her work.”
— Trica P.
“Love, love, love it! I had lost a lot of movement over the last lockdown and felt like I'd aged 10 years. Moving mojo is defo back! It's only been a week but I feel so much better, cannot wait to see where this takes me! Just wish I'd taken up the offer for access to the whole programme 🙈”
— Samantha H.
“Love it! Very simple stretches that get me feeling ready for the day!”
— Paul S.
“I am hooked on stretching right now, the short sitting stretching session is so handy and I use it few times during my work day!
Have checked couple of other sessions, and will expand into them the coming week.
Thanks a bundle for doing this exercise sessions!!!
Love you Kaisa! :)”
— Paty J.
“I'm loving this program so far! I feel so great after I'm done. I didn't realize how much working from home has messed with my body! I will definitely purchase more of the programs.”
— Melinda C.
“I am in the third year of recovery from frozen shoulders, (first one then the other) and with the lack of mobility which was only compounded by Covid, I have been basically trapped in my home not moving and stuck at a computer or on the sofa. I LOVE the Start Mobility program. It’s exactly what someone like me, who is recovering from injury or an extended period of immobility needs. With the multi-level workouts, the program is easy to customize to meet whatever you’re level or situation is. I cannot recommend it enough for people who are looking to improve their mobility and health.”
— Christine L.
“This is a great workout to start my morning! Stretches everything, works large muscle groups gently and focuses my breath. It is the first thing I do before I even leave my bedroom. It also motivates me to walk or do my weights after breakfast. No floor work is great because of my periphery nerve damage I cannot get on my knees or lower limbs easily.”
— Leslie H.
“You inspire me to move this beautiful body again. Thank You!”
— Frances R.
“This program is AMAZING. I have been overweight my whole life, but also worked out my whole life. I have always been from the 'no pain-no gain/ go hard or go home/take no prisoners' school of exercise. But between COVID and being 53 years old, I just couldn't get up the energy to exercise AND I couldn't find that killer instinct that I usually have. A friend suggested this and I scoffed at the idea of a starting/beginners workout. I was being so silly!!! Honestly, it is perfect. And I really do feel proud when I finish each workout. For anyone having trouble motivating themselves to do something....try this. I promise you, you will love it. And you will love Kasia. She is easy going, supportive and positive. I am looking forward to working out with her for a long, long time. :)”
— Anna H.
“I am enjoying the 10 minute version right now. I have been down with nerve damage in my legs for 2 years and everything else atrophied while we tried to solve it. These stretches have helped me feel like I’m able to at least work out again. Thank you!”
— Emily G.
“Thank you for the achievable exercises. I am in my early seventies and for the past 7 years have been going through treatment for breast cancer in both boobs, having had a mastectomy in one side. Not much exercise done during that time and I have now been diagnosed with arthritis in all my major joints. I have your start programme: brilliant especially combining it with specific exercises for feet and hands. I'm looking forward to moving up to the next level. Once again thank you.”
— Delma H.
“Thank you. I have not moved properly for quite awhile. One session in and my neck and back pain have greatly improved. I am looking forward to the other classes in the bundle.”
— Krista M.
“I kept seeing Kaisa on Instagram and as a former yoga teacher liked the idea of incorporating mobility into all aspects of movement. I've been dealing with a series of injuries and health issues for the past 2-3 years and my weight and general health have suffered. After doing the Start Bundle for a week, I genuinely felt a difference, even after the very first session. I had severe vertigo for a month and a half and am still unable to do a lot of yoga poses so using the chair made such a huge difference. I feel less pain in my joints and did not have much soreness after trying the Start Strength video. That's always a deterrent to starting a new program - knowing the impending soreness from starting a new fitness routine. I'm really pleased with this program and looking forward to continuing.”
— Julie S.
“Hi
This workshop it is perfect to start out with. I am not that limber but can do this. I also love the chair one I can do at my desk.
Really excited about doing this regularly”
— Bernie M.
“I really like this program. I've been looking for you Kaia!
Your energy is great and your understanding is so positive.
I have a wee bit of arthritis in my left hip, lower back pain from surgery I had over 10 years ago and I get cramps in my calves and feet and sometimes that is extremely painful.
I find the stretching is helping tremendously.
You are awesome. I look forward to more mobility and strength every day. Thank you for this program.”
— Jeanie O.
“Glad I started with “Start!” I didn’t realize how much I have tightened up in the past year. This has been absolutely the BEST way to get back into MOVING through a complete range of motion. An unexpected side bonus has been the release of Emotional Stress through pushing through the “pain” of the beginning stages of full movement again. Thank you, Kaisa.”
— Barb K.
“This has been wonderful for me. Dealing with some physical limitations that I can't have remedied until after the pandemic and this has been the one workout program I've been able to handle. Looking forward to your other programs once I'm back to normal! Thank you for creating this!”
— Heidi W.
“Thank you so much, Kaisa! I’ve been struggling for years with frozen shoulder syndrome on both sides, and tried any- and everything to get some mobility back. Your start mobility programme is gentle enough for me to manage the exercises (with minor adjustments) and feel good about accomplishing a training routine. But even more so, it fills me with hope! After just five days of doing it once a day, my shoulders are more mobile and my spine rotates better than in years. Who knows where I’ll be in a year?! 🤩🤩”

“Hey Kaisa,
I wanted to thank you so much for this start program. I am overweight and after two births in 2 years... I am bit flexible ať all and dont have much time for myself with those two running around. I ve been trying yoga and pilates for beginners... But it was still too much for mě and frustrating... But with your program I finally found out something I am able to do, I find time almost everyday for ať least a short version and even after oné week I can see (even if it is slight) improvement.
So thank you very much, I Will defibitely srick to start bundle so far, but Hope in time, I Will be able to advance further.
You are the Best!”

“In the pre-Covid times I was a bit of a gym rat. I had a regular schedule which was actually ramping up and then the pandemic hit. A body sculptor who I had followed online for awhile released a pretty intense home workout program which I purchased thinking I would be able to keep up my fitness goals despite the lockdown. That VERY QUICKLY fell by the wayside. Fast forward 10+ months of a sedentary lifestyle and I've lost the tone around my abs and gained a little weight in the midsection, but worse than that, I got stiff to the point that simply moving was becoming uncomfortable and I now have plantar fasciitis in my left foot, ugh. I'm not really sure how Kaisa came across my radar (probably via Oxygen Mag) but I had started following her on Facebook and when her birthday special came up and I took a peek at her programs and was instantly captivated by the super basic Start Mobility program. Here was something I could do to get my body used to moving again. I had been feeling like I needed to start from scratch and START Mobility was exactly what I needed. I bought the Mobility bundle and committed to doing a week of the START program while also incorporating the 5 minute chair exercises during my work day. I was excited to wake up to that good sore feeling again, that meant something was happening and my body was responding, the plantar fasciitis is even starting to ease up a little. HOORAY!!
My first week passed and over the weekend I moved up to Mobility One and just yesterday did one of the free videos called Dynamic Dumbbell which only required one dumbbell. I was nearly in tears because I had not lifted a weight in so long and I was able to enjoy and complete that workout despite struggling a little. I think frome here I'll be fluctuating between START and Mobility One for the next couple of weeks before kicking it up to the other programs in the series.
I am just so grateful for Kaisa, I love her gentle low pressure attitude toward the viewers abilities and I am so glad to have found her program to get me back into the habit of moving my body again.
Thank you, Kaisa!”

“I LOVE the mobility workouts!! My knees and hips have never been happier! I also appreciate the chair routines - I’d love to see more of those.”
— Laura G.
“I’m really enjoying the videos. I was in a car wreck years ago. I already had 2 major surgeries and now awaiting another major hip and leg surgery. I’m limited in mobility but I needed to keep moving. These videos are meeting where I’m at. I enjoy feeling the blood flow. One day I hope to move up in Kaisa’s video series. Thank you!”
— Jodi O.
“Great way to initiate my mornings!! I’m very out of shape and am encouraged by your program to snap out of my comfort zone and stretch this body! It’s amazing how good I feel afterwards. Brilliant concept!”
— Sharon R.
“Since my meniscus tear and unsuccessful surgery I've struggled with exercise. Love that this program stresses injury prevention. These videos don't make me feel like I'll ever be skinny. They make me feel like I might actually get strong. That to me is the ultimate goal.”
— Stacey b.
“So far this has been great! I’m one week in and while it feels easy( I am sometimes prone to pushing through), I appreciate that although gentle i definitely feels it the next day no am dealing with a knee injury and committed to a slow gentle rehab, so I’m feeling grateful for this at this time. Looking forward to building my kaisafit library as I continue to heal.”
— Sue C.
“I love this video! I’ve been fairly sedentary for maybe years. These movements feel so good and it’s so gentle. it does get me breathing and my heart rate up a little bit. I feel safe to push or not push my body based on how I’m feeling at the time. I’ve been at it just a week and felt improved range of motion just the second and third time through the video. I’ve been doing the 30 min version and I want to start adding in the 10 min one just before bed because these movements actually relax my body and tire me out.”
— Suzie P.

“Hi Kansa,
I have enjoyed the mobility work while seeing you in the videos. I’ll admit my shoulder and lower back pain is limiting my range of motion. Either way I am going to continue working through it with hopes it will get better. Any recommendations for shoulder and lower back specific work would be greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Raul”

“One week in and I love it! I don’t need any fancy equipment, and I can get a quick session in while dinner is in the oven or, since I’m working from home, during a work break.
Thank you for helping me kickstart my efforts to get healthy!”
— Lisa D.
“Thank you so much Kaisa for giving me the tools to START. I’d been searching forever to find the right program, and I’ve finally found it. Beyond thankful. You’re awesome !!!!!”
— Carolyn G.
“I'm really, really pleased with this bundle. Very well done presentation. I like the short and long versions and your moves are just what I need to get my body back in motion! Thank you for all the hard work in creating this program.”
— Linda L.
“I am 58 years old, a bit overweight and my exercise has consisted of walking, so not super fit nor flexible. I have both the START Mobility and START Fit and loved them! I am able to complete the workouts, felt good during and after. So happy! Thanks!”
— Catriona M.
“I have been doing this workout on rotation, mobility, strength, and sweat, nearly every day. With days that it feels too much doing an alternate activity like bike riding, (short distances) and walking with my daughter. This routine is easy to learn and while it's hard work it doesn't feel like it until you're done. I suffer from fibromyalgia so I have to be careful how I work out and for how long. This feels so doable! Thank you.”
— Donna T.
“I usually do not leave reviews, but so far, I think this program is excellent. I've been looking for a good mobility program, and after a few sessions of Start Mobility, I do feel a little looser. I enjoy the pace, the exercises and Kaisa's upbeat personality and great smile! So, if you're looking for a gentle yet thorough mobility program, you've found it here!”
— Abbe S.
“This program is Perfect!! Just what I needed to make a new start in my health journey. I've been working from home since last March do to the pandemic and haven't been working out or moving as much. This is a great way to get started. I noticed that when I do this mobility workout I feel so much better throughout my day.”
— Krystle T.
“Like so many fitness “products” I had seen KaisaFit on Instagram for a long time but was doubtful it could do what it said. I finally did a little research on it to find that at a minimum Kaisa is a real person and it’s a legitimate program. The price is so reasonable I decided to try it. For the first time in nearly a year I did not take ibuprofen before going to bed last night to be able to sleep. I’d been having deep hip pain since the summer, and two knee injuries that, along with COVID, have limited my activity level to the point where I’ve gone backward on my fitness. I’m a cyclist, but a “plus” size person so other body weight programs don’t work for me, and traditional yoga does not work for my knees. This program has absolutely improved how my hips, knees, and overall body felt from the first 10 minute mobility video. I look forward to continuing at the start level as my knee heals, moving up as my body allows. I hope this will have me back on my bike by the time warm temps show up.”
— Sarah B.
“I love this and intend to keep going- will be ready for the next step soon, I think!”
— Deidre L.
“Love this bundle! Cardio and strong work up a good sweat, but are very gentle! Mobility gives a great stretch and some balance work. I'm really enjoying the program this far!”

And i can tell you i feel i can move know😃 i have even started working out this week! Love it! And going to keep doing it, the long on the days im not very busy and the short version when im busy! I absolutely recommend!👍”
