Are you feeling done with boring workouts, and training that never seems to lead anywhere (other than to more training)?
I could just tell you to get out in nature and move more. And sure, that would help to some degree. But the reality is most of us need a bridge.
We need something to cover the gap between distorted postures sedentary life has given us, and a strong, well-aligned body. We need to rehab from mainstream fitness and reconnect to the natural movement intelligence deep within us.
That's why I created the Uncaged Body program. To help you bridge that gap.
There's a lot on this page, but this video covers pretty much everything:
Reclaim Your Strong and Flexible Body - $75
No matter how long you've been inactive, all's not lost
The strong, primal, confident-in-any-situation self within you is right there. Just underneath the surface.
The wildness in your DNA cannot be taken away from you, only suppressed. No matter how long you've been sitting at a desk or following the typical fitness template, you can start reclaiming your primal strength today.
Reclaiming your ability to climb, crawl, squat and move like a human is just a matter of:
- Commitment
- Smart training
- A tribe that won't let you quit
If you've got the first one, I will handle the second two.
Why the foundations are the fastest path to physical mastery
The foundational movements may not get you the most likes on Instagram, but they are what will set you up for long-term success with your training. Most people try to skip rungs on the ladder, only to find weak links and injuries later in their journey.
I know, because for years I avoided doing the basics, and I wish that I hadn't.
The more you build your base, the stronger and more unbreakable your body will become.
Unfortunately, natural movement isn't as simple as "just move more"
Like it or not, life no longer requires us to move the way it used to. Fitness used to mean being fit for your environment, but there isn't much sense in being fit to sit all day.
Because we've lost touch with what primal movement is, many people need (re)learn the basics again. From there, you'll begin reawakening your innate primal intelligence.
So, what are the basics?
Here's what you'll be learning, no gym required:
- Foundational locomotion movements like the bear and ape crawl. This will help you build total body control and coordination.
- Fundamental striking techniques like the jab and cross. Yes, fighting is a big component of primal movement. These techniques will give you a strong foundation for further combat development.
- Total body strength. The bear and cobra pushup will build your pushing strength in all planes of upper body pressing. The monkey pull and hang will build stronger shoulders while preparing your body for climbing.
- Targeted mobility training. Each strength exercise is paired with a targeted mobility piece to increase your usable flexibility.
Skill work and play is integrated to help you ground your practice
Life isn't just all about training. What are you training for, anyway? In each Uncaged Body session, you'll be developing skills to help you apply what you learn in real life.
You'll be learning:
- How to safely fall and meet the ground with proper technique. This brings greater confidence, so you're not afraid to progress to more advanced movements.
- The essentials of ground movement. As a baby, you learned the basics of primal movement. This started with moving from your back, to the side, and up into a squat. Regrooving these patterns will help reawaken your body's movement maps.
- How to actually use your squat. It's more than just a static posture. You should be able to reach, twist and crawl from a squat. Throughout the program, you'll be learning how to make your squat more useful.
You'll train your mind, as well as your body
Movement is awesome, but as you've probably heard, the body follows the mind. It's time we put the brain back on the body, and stop pretending it's something separate.
Every session will focus on mindfulness and control, so you're continually building mental confidence.
Standing meditation is integrated into each training session. This helps regain control of your breath, posture and ground you back into a calm focus that will serve you throughout the day.
See how Orlando regained his primal strength by focusing on the foundations
Orlando stayed on the couch for years, feeling guilty for not moving, but not doing anything about it.
Finally, he'd had enough and committed to a program to regain his primal strength. He went back to the foundations, and honestly, I think the results speak for themselves.
Here's everything you'll be getting when you join today:
- Detailed HD videos breaking down what to do and not to do for perfect form
- Introductory manual and workbook to get you clear on your goals for your training
- Program spreadsheet to take with you anywhere, so you know exactly what to do each day of the week
- Accountability and support from myself and the tribe
Don't die without meeting the uncaged, unbreakable you
Your body is capable of more than you can imagine. Yes, civilization has made many of us weaker than ever, but instead of complaining about it, we can do something to change it. Rehabbing our bodies from domestication starts with a simple choice to get moving again.
You can make that choice today.
When you haven't moved for a while, it can help to have a structured program to get you started. When you don't even know what the foundations of primal movement are, it doesn't help much to hear "just go outside and move."
You need a base to build off of, and smart programming from someone that has been there, and spent years working on dissecting the elements of a smart foundation.
This primal strength and mobility program is the result of my thousands of hours of a study, and my work with countless students. I've worked with people from all kinds of backgrounds to help them regain confidence, strength, and freedom in their movement.
Isn't it time you felt good about yourself, and finally followed through on becoming the person you know you can be?
Break out of the cage and reconnect with your true nature.
Success is 100% Guaranteed if You Put in the Work
This program has been tested in the real world by myself and my clients. When you do the work, you will get results. If you try it for six weeks, and are still not seeing progress, you can get a full refund.
Uncaged Body costs $75 and will help you build a strong foundation for primal movement mastery.

You can start from wherever you are
There's a danger in not seeing the journey and the struggle. I didn't start with talent, luck or genetics. I grew up in the suburbs, was picked last on the schoolyard, and worked at a desk for the bulk of my adult life.
If I can do it, and Coen can do it, so can you.
How Coen reclaimed his naturally strong body
"I’ve always struggled with standardized gym routines and fell out of them quickly due to boredom. The training gave me a whole new confidence in myself and what my body was capable of. I realized that things I thought would take months to achieve would only take weeks. I learned how to be curious and playful, yet mindful and calm. At the end of each day, I was always so grateful for the training and walked away a better man. Thank you for everything - I will carry the lessons I learned with me every day." —Coen Vazquez
