Pioneer in prevention
We started developing moving 40 years ago, entered workplace health promotion with the moving brand 24 years ago, have continuously supported clients like Deutsche Bahn AG and BARMER for more than a decade—and our name is still program: we keep moving forward.
Our vision
Our vision is that the gentle movement concepts of moving become a natural routine for everyone—just as simple and everyday as brushing your teeth. Moving should be established as a standard solution for preventive health promotion and sustainably raise awareness of the importance of gentle, effective movement.
We want to be the leading brand for scientifically based, accessible, and sustainable movement concepts—for companies, schools, and individuals. Our goal is to promote a healthy lifestyle with innovative digital solutions and personalized programs that integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
Our mission
Our mission is to provide people with a simple, sustainable, and effective introduction to movement. Moving offers easy-to-implement, scientifically based health solutions that adapt to individuals’ needs and life realities—without pressure, without complicated procedures, but with maximum impact.
We integrate gentle, effective movement into everyday life by:
- Supporting companies, educational institutions, and individuals with preventive health solutions,
- providing innovative, digital tools that make movement easily accessible,
- applying scientifically proven methods that reduce stress and improve well-being,
- promoting open, transparent, and appreciative communication based on trust and scientific expertise.
moving sets new standards in the health industry: We establish gentle movement as a core part of prevention and make it easy for everyone to actively do something for their health by motivating them to do so.

Resource orientation
Sustainability is an essential part of moving’s philosophy—both regarding the environment and the individual resources of users. The company ensures that time is used efficiently, materials are used consciously, and unnecessary consumption is avoided. The exercises are also designed to require little time while delivering maximum benefit.
Holistic & science-based
The methodology of moving is based on a solid scientific foundation from physiotherapy, sports science, and psychology. The combination of physical movement and mental relaxation ensures a sustainable improvement in well-being. Moving remains adaptable and integrates new findings into its concepts.
transparence
Moving relies on open, honest, and understandable communication. Scientifically based content is presented clearly and comprehensibly—without esoteric or unnecessarily complicated terms. All methods are tested, and their effects are presented realistically. We live a transparent feedback and development culture: interaction with users, customers, and partners is very important to us, and we take every piece of feedback to heart.
Innovation & leadership
For over 20 years, moving has been setting standards in workplace health promotion. As the first company to establish a slow and gentle approach, moving is considered an innovator in this field. With a sustainable and holistic concept, moving consciously distinguishes itself from conventional methods and reshapes health prevention.
Customer focus & trust
moving always puts the needs of users at the center. The programs are based on real challenges and are continuously adapted to ensure long-term effectiveness. A close, appreciative relationship ensures that everyone—whether a company or an individual—feels well cared for. Direct communication, practical solutions, and personal, prompt support make moving a reliable partner.
Initiator– Roswitha Ram-Devrient
As a natural scientist, author, health coach, and CEO of moving GmbH for 20 years, Roswitha is convinced that efficient physical and mental techniques are essential to lead a positive and good life despite constant challenges. In her many years of work as a personal coach, she condensed this knowledge into the compact body & mind concept of moving and designed it so that moving can be practiced in a simple and enjoyable way with minimal time investment. Moving immediately excites people, because practically everyone enjoys moving—when it’s easy.
Our Team
For over 20 years, our nationwide expert team, the Aktivpartner of movingnet, along with our partners at health insurance companies and businesses, have tirelessly worked to spread moving as a daily movement prevention habit—like brushing teeth—across the population.
Our interdisciplinary team includes specialists in physiotherapy, sports science, psychology, and digital health solutions.
Our development is based on studies, tests, and many years of practice in companies and health institutions.
Background and origin
In the 1980s
The idea takes shape
In the 1980s, Roswitha Ram-Devrient worked as a movement and yoga coach in a rehabilitation facility when she recognized a fundamental problem: As soon as patients left rehab, they stopped doing the exercises that had helped them and often returned after some time with the same complaints.
This did not let Roswitha rest. She wanted to develop a method that motivates people in the long term—not just when they are in pain. The solution? Experience movement so simply and intuitively that it becomes a habit.
2004
The beginnings & founding of the GmbH
Over 15 years, Roswitha further refined her movement programs to the essentials, until finally basic moving was created—a gentle, everyday-friendly form of movement inspired by Qi Gong. It consists of only four movements that get straight to the point.
In 2000, the prevention concept got a face, and the colorful and inviting brand moving was born. Demand grew, and in 2004 the logical next step followed: the founding of a company—a decisive move to establish moving in businesses. In fact, moving is the first company to bring slow and gentle movement into workplace health promotion, pioneering the field.
2006
The first digital steps & success at Siemens
The next milestone: moving goes digital. A program for the PC with reminder functions and small movement breaks is designed to help integrate movement into daily life long-term. The practical test at Siemens quickly shows: the concept works—not only for individuals but also in a corporate setting.
2007
The breakthrough with Deutsche Bahn
More and more companies are adopting moving, including Deutsche Bahn. A pilot project with 1,000 participants at Bahn BKK delivers impressive results:
✔ 87% of participants reported positive feedback
✔ 81% expressed interest in continuing
The results speak for themselves—moving is now implemented across all of Deutsche Bahn.
2010
Expansion with BARMER & new focus areas
With BARMER, another major partner comes on board. In 2011, moving expands its offerings and incorporates stress management—accompanied by the book “Im Trubel zur Ruhe kommen”
Until 2018, the four central movements of basic moving are the focus, taught in workshops or passed on through certifications.
2018
Award from the Health Media Award
Together with BARMER, we are awarded a Health:Angel at the Health Media Award for the best health communication.
2019 until today
The app & a growing portfolio
With the first moving app, the offerings become even more accessible—movement anytime and anywhere. And not only that: alongside basic moving, new programs for body and mind are created, including premium moving, mental moving, focus moving, heart moving, and more.
Today, moving is an established concept that helps companies and individuals sustainably integrate movement into their daily lives—scientifically based, digital, and flexible.
And the best part? moving continues to grow—and moves more and more people. 🚀
2025
25 years moving
In 2025, moving celebrates its 25th anniversary as a pioneer in holistic health promotion. Since the brand was founded in 2000, we have supported countless people on their journey to greater well-being and set new standards in workplace health promotion with our prevention approach.
But we are far from finished! Our vision is that moving’s gentle movement concepts become a natural routine for everyone—as simple and everyday as brushing your teeth.
