The GYM
The Athletic Movement is a strength and movement training facility dedicated to helping people of all ages move better, get stronger, and feel their best.
Our 2,500-square-foot facility in Pound Ridge, NY, is designed for movement. With turf and rubber sport flooring, we combine athletic training, strength, mobility, flexibility, and functional fitness to create a complete training experience for every body and every level.
We believe fitness is a lifelong journey. Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve performance, a young person developing a foundation of strength and movement, or an adult looking to stay strong, healthy, and active, our approach is built around consistent, meaningful progress over time.
We focus on teaching people how to move well, build strength, improve fitness, and develop the confidence to take on whatever life demands. For younger athletes, this means developing fundamental movement skills and a strong physical foundation. For adults, it means maintaining strength, mobility, fitness, and independence as you move through different stages of life.
Most importantly, we want training to be something you enjoy. We provide a positive, supportive environment where people can challenge themselves, learn, and become more capable versions of themselves.
Our goal goes beyond workouts and athletic performance. We want to help people build a lasting relationship with movement and fitness; one that supports a healthier, stronger, more active life at every age.
Our Story
Kayser Dixon, a fitness coach and lifelong athlete, started The Athletic Movement after years of working with both adults and young athletes. Over time, he began to see some common patterns. Many adults were dealing with the wear and tear that comes from years of training—or not training—while many young athletes were developing poor movement habits without even realizing it.
As he began working more with young athletes, he saw that many kids were getting stronger and becoming more specialized in their sports, but weren’t necessarily learning how to move well. Kayser saw the value in teaching those fundamentals early, before poor movement habits became harder to change.
The Athletic Movement was created to bring these two ideas together: helping young athletes build a strong foundation while helping adults stay strong, active, and capable for the long run.
We’re not interested in quick fixes or chasing the latest fitness trend. We believe in learning how to move well, getting stronger, staying consistent, and finding ways to actually enjoy the process.
At the end of the day, our goal is pretty simple: to help people become stronger, healthier, and more confident in what their bodies can do.

What is your athletic background?I grew up playing every sport. If it had a stick or a ball, I was game. I played lacrosse in college and now I’m working to improve my golf game.
What are the top 3 things you wish you could go back and tell your 14 year old athletic self?
1. Mobilize and stretch. Spending more time on prehabilitation and taking care of your body now will make you a more capable athlete as you age.
2. Set realistic goals and work like hell to achieve them.
3. Confidence and success are gained over time through hard work and grit. Don’t fall into the trap of viewing one momentary feat as a marker of long-term success.
