I'm the founder of Movu.
I lived this problem.
I work remotely. I train daily. I built Movu for the version of me who closed the laptop at 7pm having moved less than 800 steps.
Here's what nobody tells you about remote work.
When I went fully remote, I gained freedom and lost structure on the same day. No commute meant no forced movement. No office meant no social accountability. I had more time than ever — and somehow moved less than ever.
I've trained for 15 years. I know what consistent movement does for your mind, your energy, your work. But even I felt the pull of just… sitting there. Starting the next task. Skipping the workout because the laptop was right there.
Then I became a dad. My daughter is one year old. And suddenly I understood something I hadn't before — the people around you feel your energy. When I train, I'm a better father, a better colleague, a clearer thinker. When I don't, everyone notices.
I looked around and saw thousands of remote workers in the same place. Complaining about back pain. About afternoon brain fog. About feeling disconnected from colleagues. About meaning to start working out "next Monday" for the past six months.
Movu is what I wished existed when I went remote. Thirty minutes. Live. With real people. No excuses accepted because we're all in the same Zoom anyway.
Three things I believe.
Consistency beats intensity. Every time.
Community is the best accountability system ever built.
The best workout is the one you actually do.
What my mornings look like.
- 7:00amWake up. Daughter is already asking for attention.
- 7:45amMovu session. Even when I don't feel like it.
- 8:15amCoffee. Laptop. Clearest thinking of the day.
- 9:00amRemote work begins.
It's not glamorous. It's just consistent.
Why remote workers, specifically.
Office workers have structure forced on them — commutes, standing up for meetings, walking to lunch. Remote workers have freedom, which is incredible and also dangerous for your body. Nobody is going to make you move. You have to build that yourself. Movu is that structure — 30 minutes, five days a week, with people who get it.
