Your GOATA Training Path

The GOATA methodology is unlike anything else in the industry — and so is the learning experience. Start with the free Level 1 Foundations Course, then continue into Level 2 Training for advanced skill development and coaching principles — or choose the Recode Program if you want a structured, three-phase path to rebuild your own movement. 

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest — but chronic pain can hold you back.

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or everyday mover, ongoing pain impacts your performance, confidence, and quality of life. What makes it even more frustrating is that most traditional therapies only address short-term symptoms. Painkillers, stretching routines, or even physical therapy may offer temporary relief, but without correcting the root cause, the pain always returns.

At GOATA®, we believe the solution shouldn’t be a compromise—it should restore your body and elevate your performance. Our system identifies and recodes the movement patterns that create breakdown and replaces them with the natural, efficient blueprint your body was designed to follow.

Using slow-motion video analysis and targeted corrective work, we pinpoint the exact errors causing pain and teach you how to move with optimal biomechanics for long-term durability and improved athleticism. Thousands have already reduced pain, improved mobility, and rebuilt their performance using the GOATA® method.

With our online, in-person, and hybrid training options, anyone can learn nature’s movement code and start moving—and feeling—better for life.

About Us

The GOATA® Movement System is an evidence-based approach to restoring the way the human body was naturally designed to move. Developed in 2012 from thousands of hours of slow-motion video analysis, founder Gary Scheffler and former NFL quarterback Ricky Stanzi refined the original Global Laws™ identified by José Boesch to improve durability, reduce injury, and enhance performance.

Gary, head trainer at the GLS Training Facility, and Ricky, lead instructor of the GOATA® training experience, have spent over 30,000 hours studying biomechanics, gait, and human movement to build and validate the GOATA® methodology. The team also includes elite trainers and scientist RJ Archibald, who integrates physics and engineering principles into the system.

Originally focused on athletes, GOATA® quickly proved effective for people of all ages—from youth athletes to adults seeking pain relief and better mobility. Today, thousands have used the GOATA® system to eliminate chronic pain, prevent injuries, and improve performance, including top athletes such as Jameis Winston, Irv Smith Jr., Micah Parsons, Emmanuel Ogbah, Odafe Oweh, Marquise Brown, Spencer Brown, Ike Boettger, Ja’Marr Chase, Dre Cisco, and Mark Bell.
