Mission & Purpose
The More Than Movement (MTM) Collaborative is the nonprofit arm of Applied Fitness Solutions, an Ann Arbor-based health and wellness organization built on the belief that health extends far beyond traditional fitness.
Â
MTM is a capacity-building partner that works with community-based organizations to integrate movement into the services they already provide. Through co-creation, training, and targeted resources, we build the infrastructure needed to expand access—advancing healthy movement as a human right for all.

Our Core Beliefs
Healthy Movement is a Human Right
Physical activity should not be a luxury reserved for the privileged. We believe that everyone has a fundamental right to move their body and stay healthy within their own community.
Infrastructure Over Programs
Temporary projects often disappear when funding ends. We focus on building the lasting tools and infrastructure that allow partners to sustain healthy movement for the long term.
Listen First, Build Together
We trust that community organizations know their people best. Our role is to listen and offer the resources and training they need to create their own lasting solutions.
Equitable Access for All
Health equity happens when exercise is a part of everyday life. We help partners integrate physical activity into the places people already go for essential care and services.
Community Partnerships
Deepening collaborations with local grassroots organizations to extend our collective impact and ensure resonance.
Our 3-Year Strategic Plan
A roadmap to systemic movement-based health equity, integrating physical activity directly into the infrastructure of community care.
Equitable Access
Breaking down barriers to ensure healthy movement is a fundamental and accessible human right for all.
Sustainable Infrastructure
Building lasting systems and physical tools that provide reliable, scalable community access for decades to come.
Capacity Building
Empowering our partners through micro-grants and specialized training to drive local systemic health solutions.
Board & Staff
The More Than Movement Collaborative is guided by a dedicated team of professionals and community advocates. Our leadership ensures that healthy movement remains a fundamental right for all communities we serve.
