David Thurin is a movement, flexibility, and Pilates coach known online as @movementbydavid. With over 8 million subscribers across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, he's become one of the most trusted voices in flexibility training - known for making stretching practical, science-backed, and accessible to people who never thought they could touch their toes.
David's approach to flexibility is simple: consistency beats intensity, and smart programming beats random stretching. His content breaks down exactly how much stretching you actually need to see results (less than most people think), which exercises matter most for specific goals like the splits, and how to build a stretching habit that sticks long-term.
Before building his audience, David wasn't naturally flexible. He developed his own range of motion through the same progressive methods he now teaches - which is part of what makes his coaching so relatable. He knows what it feels like to start stiff and works backward from there.
On Ganbaru Method, David's programs go deeper than his free content. The Flexy series gives you his complete flexibility training system - structured week-by-week with video coaching, progress tracking, and direct access to ask questions. Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your general mobility or an experienced athlete chasing your middle splits, David's programs meet you where you are and move you forward.
