The whole studio is built around one rule: a coach has to be able to watch every rep.
Totex Movement Studio opened in Austin, Texas in 2018 to teach movement technique in small rooms, on camera, at a pace set by whatever clearance a client actually has. It is still four coaches and one location, on purpose.
Who runs this
Totexi, trading as Totex Movement Studio.
Totex Movement Studio is a movement-technique coaching studio, trading as Totex, operated by Totexi. It is based in Austin, Texas at 109 Oak Lane, Suite 4, Austin, Texas 34275, and it has run classes and one-to-one sessions from that single address since 2018 — its sixth year. There is no second location and no franchise plan. If the studio grows, it grows by adding a coach, not a city.
Totex is a coaching studio, not a clinic. It carries no medical licence and makes no medical claim, and it never will, because the whole positioning depends on staying inside what an unsupervised movement class is allowed to do: teach position, load it slowly, and send anyone with a live medical question back to their doctor.
What Totex actually does, and what it will not do.
Four programs, one method underneath all of them: watch the movement, name the position out loud, film it, review the footage before the next session.
Totex runs Group Technique Classes capped at six people, One-to-One Coaching in a private room, a Movement Assessment that is mandatory before anything else, and a Return-to-Activity Program for clients who already have a signed clearance letter from their doctor. Every session, in every program, is filmed on a tripod camera. That is not a marketing flourish; it is the actual mechanism the coaching runs on. A coach cannot correct what they did not see, and a phone held at an angle for ninety seconds is not the same as a fixed camera running the whole set.
The studio will not accept a client with an active injury, an uncontrolled cardiac condition, or a pregnancy complication their doctor has flagged. It will not start a Return-to-Activity block without a signed clearance letter on file first, and it will not backdate one. If a knee locked up last week, the answer at intake is to wait, not to modify the session around it. That refusal is stated at intake, not buried afterward, because it protects the six-person room as much as it protects the client asking to join it.
What the studio does not do is treat, diagnose, or promise a result. Nobody on staff writes a rehabilitation plan, measures a range of motion for a medical record, or tells a client how many weeks until something feels different. A movement class is not physical therapy and it will not replace one. Clients who need that kind of care are told so directly and pointed back to their own provider.
Six people, one coach, one camera. That is the entire method.
Three habits, repeated in every room, in every program, since 2018.
The cap holds even when it costs a slot.
A class stops at six whether five people showed up or eleven tried to book it. The studio would rather run a class of four than let a sixth pair of eyes go unwatched. If a coach cannot see every rep clearly, the room is already too full, and that is treated as a scheduling failure on the studio’s side, not something the client should adjust for.
Every rep gets filmed, without exception.
The tripod camera runs from the first warm-up rep to the last cooldown stretch, angled so its screen never becomes a distraction mid-class. Coach Reyes, who leads the review process, watches the footage before the next session and pulls two or three specific frames — a foot rolling in on a lunge, a hip shifting on a step-down — to show the client directly rather than describe it from memory.
Clearance is checked before load is added, not after.
The Movement Assessment exists because a coach needs an honest read on what a client can do before anyone picks up a kettlebell. For return-to-activity work specifically, the signed clearance letter comes before the first booking, not the first session. A studio that skips that step to fill a slot is the failure mode Totex was built to avoid.
Four coaches, one floor, no rotating door.
The same four coaches have run this floor for the past few years. Clients see a familiar face reviewing their footage, not whoever is on shift.

Runs the floor-marker walk in most Movement Assessments and a share of the Return-to-Activity blocks.
Teaches three of the weekly Group Technique Class slots and covers One-to-One sessions on weekday mornings.
Focuses on private sessions and works most closely with clients rebuilding a lift after a long layoff.
