Animal Flow is the creation of Mike Fitch, a movement coach and fitness educator with over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry.
Animal flow is a unique ground-based quadrupedal movement programme that is fun, challenging and effective. It includes a range of movements and combinations that can be done alone or put together into a ‘flow’.
The repertoire includes mobilisation exercises for the wrists to help prepare the body for the weight bearing exercises that are performed during a class.
Animal Flow aims to enhance functional movement patterns and range of motion at the joints. It also helps to build muscular strength and endurance.
Animal flow has six components that are covered within a class:
- Wrist Mobilisations
- Activations
- Form Specific Stretches
- Travelling Forms
- Switches and Transitions
- Flows
Animal Flow can help to improve the following:
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Mobility
- Coordination
- Power
- Endurance
- Cardio Fitness (when performing a ‘flow’)
*Note: Animal Flow is practiced predominantly with the hands and feet on the ground

“I have just started learning Animal Flow with Andrea and I can already feel the benefits with regards to flexibility and strength. We have only done a couple of sessions but I can really get a sense of the movements and flow and how my body will improve from it. Although the routines are a challenge , with some practice they become easier to follow. I’m very much looking forward to starting a regular class soon.”
