Our Story
Built by mums.
For mums.
Move it Mama was founded by Lisa in 2018. With four boys under five, she was doing short, high intensity workouts from home — and then began to share them. Regular exercise reclaimed her sparkle, and through it, she rebuilt herself both physically and mentally.

From sharing workouts
with friends to a community of thousands
After sharing her workouts with close friends, Lisa built a community. What was initially four high intensity (HIIT) workouts each week is now a variety of workouts — from beginner bodyweight to strength, HIIT, boxing, pilates and more.
Move it Mama is now a team of seven, and with so much variety available, the app has a workout suitable for just about anyone. After years of building and dreaming, the Move it Mama platform is now a custom mobile and web app.
The Move it Mama community is amazingly uplifting — connected through exercise, supporting each other through the highs and lows of motherhood.

While raising my four boys, 20 minutes of exercise was what helped reinvigorate me and give me confidence. This is how Move it Mama started. I needed my exercise regime to be simple, affordable and accessible. Come and workout with us in the app — we'll help you to cement regular exercise into your life.

After years of gym memberships, I've gone cold turkey and my only membership is with Move it Mama! I'm a sucker for endorphins and it gives me so much joy to help others feel the best they can. I'm a sports fanatic and love to share my passion for fitness with our community.

I've always loved physical activity and the endorphins that followed. I know that exercising makes me a better wife, mother and friend. Since becoming a mother my workout regime had to adapt — Move it Mama is the ticket — fast, simple and effective.

Exercise has been my go-to; the best outlet in navigating my grief and working through tough days. It's made me not just fitter and stronger, but a much better mum, wife, daughter, sister and friend. Passionate about helping others feel their best.

I'm a science nerd and a lifelong student of yoga, mental and holistic health. I've completed 700+ hours of yoga teacher training in India and NZ. To me, practicing and teaching yoga is about creating space, stress management, and giving ourselves permission to slow down.
