How it works
The questions everyone asks, answered straight.
For people who train
What is Movase?
An app and directory to find a workout partner, a coach and a place to train near you — on the map and by neighborhood. Born in Curitiba, Brazil.
How much does it cost to train?
Nothing. Searching, matching, chatting and requesting a class is free.
How do I contact someone or a professional?
Inside the app, after both sides agree — a match or an accepted class request. We never publish anyone's phone number: contact without consent is spam, and Brazil's privacy law (LGPD) agrees.
Does Movase vouch for the people listed here?
No — which is why no badge here just says "verified". Every badge states exactly what was checked, and reputation is built inside the app, workout by workout.
For professionals
How much does it cost to advertise?
R$ 0. Publishing your page is free — always. A paid plan, when it exists, buys extras, never the right to be listed.
Does Movase take a commission on classes?
No. The price of a class is negotiated between you and the student, and 100% of it stays with you.
How does the score work?
Four pillars: presence (check-ins confirmed on site, not self-declared), response to requests, trust (gym accreditation, badges, profile) and reputation (ratings). Money never moves the score — paying never improves your position.
What does "registration under review" mean?
Every listing goes live right away, with the badge pending. "Registration checked by Movase" comes after human review — one never blocks the other.
Will I show up on Google?
Only if you want to: the public listing is a switch you control. On, your page joins the directory and the sitemap; off, you only appear to logged-in users.
For gyms and studios
Is my gym already listed?
Probably yes — the directory lists thousands of places. Claim yours to edit the page and open the Partner Portal.
How much does it cost for a gym?
Being in the directory is free. The paid Partner plan adds acquisition tools — like automatic invites with a class voucher for people who train nearby.
Do parks and public spaces have an owner?
No. A good share of the listed places are outdoors, and public places can't be claimed — by rule, not by oversight.
