What Is Animal Flow?

Animal Flow is a dynamic fitness program that blends elements of yoga, gymnastics, and bodyweight training with animal-inspired movements. It’s not about heavy weights or fancy equipment—just you, the ground, and your untapped potential.

Movements like the Beast, Crab, and Scorpion aren’t just fun; they’re designed to challenge your strength, flexibility, and coordination in ways you’ve never experienced. And the best part? It’s scalable. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced mover, you can tailor the practice to your ability level.

Why Try Animal Flow?

Our personal training clients and members at Gym 1801 love Animal Flow for one simple reason: it works. Here’s how it can transform your movement and fitness:

1. Move Better, Feel Better

If tight hips or stiff shoulders hold you back, Animal Flow may quite possibly be your solution. The program emphasizes multi-directional, ground-based movements that improve joint mobility and flexibility. Studies have shown that these types of exercises significantly enhance range of motion and reduce stiffness. (NCBI)

Imagine waking up pain-free or heading into your next workout feeling strong, limber, and ready for anything…

2. Boost Balance and Coordination

Animal Flow’s unique movement patterns challenge your neuromuscular coordination and proprioception (your body’s sense of where it is in space). Research shows that quadrupedal movements improve stability and movement efficiency, which means better control in workouts and daily life. (LWW Journal)

3. Accessible for Everyone

Don’t let the animal names fool you. Animal Flow is for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, our instructors will guide you through progressions that match your skill level and goals.

What the Science Says

Animal Flow isn’t just fun—it’s backed by science. Research on quadrupedal movement systems shows they improve strength, joint health, and overall physical function. Participants in Animal Flow studies have reported reduced pain and increased endurance, making it an effective option for both fitness enthusiasts and those seeking rehabilitation. (Animal Flow)
