Master biomechanics: from foundations to practice.

Understand how the body moves, why it breaks down, how to fix it, and how to apply the skills to yourself, or your clients.

Most coaches and athletes have gaps in their movement knowledge they don’t even know about. Tier 1 fills those gaps. Covering the foundational principles that underpin everything we teach across the PerforMotion framework.

In 5 modules, you’ll go from uncertain to confident in the basics: planes of motion, breathing mechanics, ranges of motion, posture, and what the squat, bench and deadlift actually demand from the body.

It’s free, self-paced, and built to be revisited whenever you need a refresher.

Learn the fundamentals of movement, for free.

Tier 1 is your starting point for understanding how the body moves, why it matters for lifting, and how to apply it straight away.

Who it’s for

  • Coaches and Trainers: A repeatable way to assess any lifter and know which cue, setup or variation to use, so you’re not guessing.
  • Healthcare Professionals: Connect your clinical reasoning to how your clients actually load and move, so rehab carries over to the gym.
  • Lifters and Athletes: Understand your own technique well enough to fix it yourself, instead of copying someone built differently to you.

What’s included

  • 50+ lessons on in-depth movement framework concepts and assessment battery demos.
  • 5+ hours of video lessons, demonstrations and in-depth exercise analysis.
  • Lifetime access, so you can revisit every module at your own pace.

What our students say

“I first reached out to Performotion in 2021 with a long-standing knee injury. After just a few tests they pinpointed the source of the problem and by the end of the first session, I already felt a noticeable improvement.

A year later I came back, this time looking to grow as a coach. That’s when I started a mentorship with Tom. The experience was completely personalised. We progressed at our own pace and worked through real cases together. By the end, I had reached a point where I can effectively help my clients manage most of their injuries and pain. Tom is an outstanding professional whom I trust implicitly. I highly recommend him to any coach looking to expand their professional toolkit.”

“Although I have a background in exercise science and as an SnC coach, I was fascinated because I had never worked with or met anyone that had such an understanding of movement and how things are related. I immediately wanted to learn more from him as this level of understanding is simply not common in Germany.

Time and money well spent. What I’ve learned from him thus far has not only excelled my problem solving capabilities but also helps me alot in my everyday professions as a coach and exercise scientist in a clinical setting.”

Max B.Germany

“I’ve been working with tom for almost a year for mentoring and education. The experience has been nothing short of amazing. I’ve been in several mentoring programs and extensive schooling in exercise science and nothing compares to the experience and knowledge tom brings to the table. With Tom I’ve been able to elevate my coaching and managing of my powerlifting roster of 27 lifters. With his guidance I’ve been able to not only increase my athletes results in their training but significantly increase the time of return to lifting if an injury occurs. The level of service and care tom gives to each of his mentees is absolutely stellar and highly recommend to anyone who wants to elevate their professional development or education in exercise physiology.”

Brendon Z.USA

“I’ve been working with Tom through online consultations to discuss pain and injury challenges in my online clients. His insights have given me new perspectives and practical tools that have been really helpful for both me and the lifters I coach.”

Janneke B.Netherlands
