“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
The Fastest Way to Point B? Knowing Your Real Point A.
Start Where You (Really) Are.
“First Move” means two things.
The clear one: movement.
Getting moving. Moving better. Building strength for the long haul.
The one most people miss: your starting point.
The path to Lifelong Strong begins with an honest look at where you are right now.
No guessing.
No judgment.
Just a clear path to where you want to be.
Your Point A.
That's the real First Move.

Your Coach
29 Years & Still Going Strong
I'm Matt Semrick — personal trainer, strength and movement coach, and founder of First Move Fitness. I've spent nearly three decades working with people at every point on the spectrum: beginners, athletes, older adults, folks returning from injury, and more than a few who arrived claiming to hate exercise with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
First Move Fitness was founded on one idea — Physical Independence: the ability to move well, be strong, stay capable, and take care of ourselves on our own terms for as long as possible. It's how we find our Lifelong Strong.
Real People, Real Results
What Clients Say
The best measure of a coach is the lives they change.
" Matt completely changed how I think about fitness. I came in wanting to lose weight, but I left with something better — confidence in my body and a plan I can stick with for life. "
Sarah M.

" After 20 years of doing nothing, I was intimidated to start. Matt met me exactly where I was. Six months in, I'm stronger than I was in my 30s and I actually enjoy training. "
David R.

" I've worked with trainers who just count reps. Matt coaches movement. He explains the why behind everything, and that made all the difference for me. "
