Expanding Capacity Reviews

Expanding Capacity has been such a blessing in my healing journey. Just being able to move more freely without pain has been amazing!

Michael and the whole Expanding Capacity team are fantastic and they genuinely care about their members! If you’re feeling any sort of stiffness or pain in your body and want a simple solution with instant results - this is your place! 🙌🏼

I have always had the idea that to get more flexible I needed to push myself past my limits all the time. Since joining Expanding Capacity, I have had my whole mindset about flexibility and mobility shifted. I learned that it's not about pushing yourself, but more about guiding yourself and letting the body adapt overtime. The mindset shift alone has greatly improved my approach, and the actual program has given life back to my hips! Excited to get on Shakira's level soon!

I love expanding capacity because michael rizk really cares about, you know, expanding your capacity to move and better your body, his daily flows really helped me with moving more freely and flowy, they really help reduce the tensing that happens throughout the day and it helps with my posture. The community is also really sweet too, everyone is very kind.

I am so grateful to have found this community when I did. I can already tell that the daily movement flows will become the foundation that keeps me moving freely and pain-free as I age. Michael has a tremendous wealth of knowledge, and he shares it with such clarity and passion. Even though the sessions are on-screen and designed for everyone, I always feel like he’s speaking directly to me. His energy radiates such positivity—it’s truly infectious. In just three days of following the daily flows, I gained a much deeper understanding of my body and its limits. My range of motion expanded noticeably in the squat and reach. By day seven, I was squatting down and reaching toward the floor with absolutely no pain or discomfort. After each session, I feel springier and looser—like my joints have been freshly oiled. I now find myself eagerly—and patiently—waiting for new flows to be released, and I’m excited to continue exploring the restorative movement library.

The flow sessions have been a game changer for my lower back pain and overall feeling stiff from getting older. I have gained flexibility and strength with very simple flow movements I can do anywhere, at any time!

I will not claim to have done all the movements provided, but I can positively say that I've learned beneficial movements that have helped me.

I woke up one morning with a pinched nerve in my back. And if you've ever had one, you know how painful it is to just function. I went to work and started getting my steps. Remembering some of the movements illustrated in Expanding Capacity, I began slowly working them in while I was walking. By the time I got my steps in, the pinched nerve was gone. Back to 100% normal.

I may not have time to do all the exercises illustrated, but I do play them while I'm working and take note. I work them into my daily routine as time permits. And that's good enough for me.

Michael is so knowledgeable and helpful! We have tried so many programs to increase mobility and get rid of back pain and stiffness. They have all been hard to stick to and difficult to squeeze into busy mom life. Michael makes it easy! Super grateful that I found this program and that he has given me new energy and mobility so that I could be more present for my kids!

I made a comment in the group recently about how I use to think Expanding Capacity was just a high-performance word for success and business, but I'm actually realizing it's a life word. Since being a part of this group I've not only stretch my muscles, discovered new skills, but I've also discovered new found clarity on how the body and the mind are so connected! In addition to Michael just being a super cool guy- the information and education he's shares is supreme. I'm ready to surf the waves of life again.

I've been dealing with severe back pain for about a month, and while it started getting better it stalled after about 2 weeks. Sometimes stretching even made it worse.

But I started Michael's program, and noticed a significant difference on the very first day. It's been progressively better every day. I've only been doing the program for a week, but I can't believe the difference it's made already.

I can't wait to start using the Restorative Movement Library! I've got so many things in my body that I know needs support, and Michael has so much amazing information and exercises to help.

I spend a lot of time driving, including long stretches on the highway, and in winter cruise control is not really an option. My days also include a lot of sitting at work. I started noticing that I would finish my trips with tight shoulders and neck, and a stiff and sometimes painful right knee. Some of it was likely road conditions, but my body was clearly holding a lot of tension. Michael suggested a few simple adjustments, including sitting on a pillow to slightly change the angle of my hips. I am not 100 percent sure of the exact mechanics, but I can absolutely feel the difference. That small tweak, combined with the daily 20 minute restorative movement flow I have been doing in his group, has noticeably changed how my drives feel. My body feels more supported, and the pain and tension I had been experiencing are gone. What I appreciate most is how practical and accessible the suggestions were. Small changes, real results. I am actually starting to enjoy my commutes instead of dreading them. Highly recommend.
