About

Soham Desai

The person behind Free Move

I'm Soham, an accredited exercise physiologist with a Bachelor's degree and over five years of coaching experience across a range of people and settings.

My background spans musculoskeletal care and athletic performance, including experience working in semi-professional sport. But what's kept me going isn't the high-performance end. It's the moment someone realises what they're actually capable of with the right guidance and plan. That happens at every level, and it never gets old.

That same grounding shows up in my ongoing work managing chronic and complex conditions through medical centre contracting, helping people navigate lifestyle change day to day, alongside their GP and specialists, not instead of them.

I have a particular soft spot for people who are just starting out. Whether you've never trained consistently before, you're coming back from injury, or you simply don't know where to begin, that's exactly the kind of person I built Free Move for.

My goal isn't to have you rely on me forever. It's to give you the tools, the understanding, and the confidence to manage your own health long term. The best outcome is one where you don't need me as much as you did at the start.

If you trust me with that, I'll take it seriously.
