Who We Are
At Move Well we believe in movement for life. It’s not about the number on the scale or the plates on the rack. It’s about the ability to move freely in your body. We invite you to come as you are, be yourself, and support those around you.
Our vibe is community - not competition.
Let’s get started.
Jordan Best
Co-Founder
NASM CPT, PCES, CPPC,
ERYT-500, YACEP; FRC-ms
Jordan’s relationship to fitness is as long, complicated, and dramatic as any 2000’s love affair. Like most women who grew up in the 90’s, she tried every fad exercise trend and diet that was offered, and movement was primarily focused on punishment or earning. Basically, she gets it. In time Jordan healed her relationship to exercise and has found that being strong and feeling at ease in her body has given her far more joy than she could have imagined in all those hours on the elliptical machine.
Jordan now works to help others create a more meaningful relationship with strength and fitness. She believes that in gaining strength you will feel more confident, powerful, and ready to take on whatever life throws at you.
Jordan is a certified personal trainer (NASM CPT), functional mobility specialist (FRC-ms), and experienced yoga teacher (ERYT-500), certified in Vinyasa and Progressive Ashtanga.
As a mom of two who understands how confusing the road back to fitness can be after birth, Jordan has a special interest in supporting pregnant and postpartum women as a Pregnancy and Postnatal Coach (CPPC – Girls Gone Strong) and Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES – Core Exercise Solutions).
Fueled by 90’s hip hop and a little too much coffee, Jordan’s training is thoughtful, creative, and specific, tailored to your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
