Start Moving Subscription

A true beginner program guaranteed to get you moving, out of pain, and feeling confident!

Too may people don’t work out because they think it’s too hard, or they’re in pain, or they don’t know where to start. The top reasons I hear for why people aren’t moving:

  • Pain.
  • Issues with knees or hips.
  • Tried “beginner” programs that weren’t truly for beginners.
  • Motivation.
  • Don’t know where to start.
  • Tired of wasting money on programs that don’t work for them.

Do any of these sound familiar? They are all valid reasons, and that’s why I created Start Moving. It’s an at-home fitness program designed specifically for people who haven’t worked out in a long time, are new to exercise, or don’t know where to start. Whether you’re entirely new to movement, recovering from an injury, are limited because of knee or hip pain, or just jumping back in, this program will give you the tools and guidance to Start Moving again!

What makes Start Moving programs different?


The fitness world lacks true beginner workouts, and that’s a MAJOR problem. Everybody and every body deserves to move and feel good, and these START routines are the perfect place to begin.

Start Moving Includes:

  • Lots of 5-Minute workouts to get started.
  • Help create new workout habits in your life (try 3x a week to start).
  • Longer follow-along workouts to build skills when you are ready.
  • Access to a growing library of workouts — repeat as often as you like!
  • Private Facebook group

This starter fitness library is designed with YOU in mind.

My mission is to get the world moving, and I believe this program is the perfect place to START!

PS. How much do I believe in Start Moving? Try it and love it, or ASK FOR YOUR MONEY BACK! That’s my guarantee. What makes this program work is that people actually use it. There are already already 262 reviews from people who have used my Start programs. I hope you’ll be adding your voice to this movement next.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What equipment do I need?
These are all at-home workouts. The only equipment we’ll use during our START Moving program is a chair, though it also helps if you have a mat or comfortable shoes to cushion your feet.

Will this work for people with bad knees, hips, or back pain?
Yes, that’s exactly who Start Moving is designed for! To keep you out of pain, these workouts avoid getting up and down off the ground. We prioritize balance, form, and safety so we’ll always have a chair with us in every work out — in fact, the first day’s class is all done while sitting in a chair. And as you are learning new skills, we’ve designed modified versions of the most common workout moves that are friendly to people with hip, knee, or lower back pain.

If I have specific injuries, am recovering from surgery, or in physical therapy, will I be able to do this?
Always check with your doctor and/or physio to make sure you’re cleared for exercise. Start Moving programs are all designed to be more accessible, but if you have concerns about specific movements or positions, email us at info@kaisafit.com and we can tell you more about any of our workouts.

Will this help me lose weight?
Honestly, we don’t focus on weight loss. All of our workout programs focus on enjoying movement and building up good routines, rather than trying to make our bodies look a certain way. Making positive changes to your daily habits and following a movement routine will always have its benefits, but we are unable to tell you how that strength will appear on your unique, wonderful body.

I’ve never been able to stick to a fitness routine before. Why is this any different?
We understand how hard it can be to start working out when you never have, or haven’t in a long time. Start Moving includes lots of 5-minute seated workouts to make getting started easy. We ask you to commit to moving three times a week for four weeks, and make it as easy and fun as possible. Our structured first-month program takes out some of the stress of planning workouts, and the community of other beginners makes finding support and accountability easy. Basically, we do everything we can to set you up for success on your terms.

Is there a guarantee? What if this isn’t a fit for me?
If you are like a lot of the people we’ve talked to, you are tired of paying for programs that don’t work. And even if you like what you hear about Start Moving, you are skeptical. Try this program — and go through the first couple foundation workouts. Then if it’s not a fit, email us at info@kaisafit.com and tell us you want your money back. We’ll refund you quickly and happily.

“I have been so surprised how just a 5 minute video can help increase my mobility, especially first thing in the morning when I am so stiff!”

— Sarah S.

“Very inspiring and motivating. Just starting, so like your style and encouragement. Thanks”

“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.
