About Deliberate Movement

Deliberate Movement is the creation of Kim Ball and her husband, JD.

It is a Long Beach-based fitness and wellness company devoted to the comprehensive education and motivation of individuals reaching for their ultimate physical potential.

The ideals and culture of Deliberate Movement were originally instilled through Kim’s first blog: deliberatemovement.blogspot.com.

This initial blog allowed Kim to connect with health-conscious readers from around the globe.  Through that venue, she shared her “Deliberate Movement Monthly” newsletters, her humorous “Pet Peeves” YouTube series and her variable fitness pursuits (including a figure competition, intense training practices, and a stint as one of 6 SoCal competitors at the 2009 CrossFit Games).

In the Fall of 2009, Kim and JD began a completely different blog for Deliberate Movement when they became temporary nomads: deliberatemovementeurope.com.  This new TRAVEL blog was born to detail the thrills and struggles of their 1-year European adventures while living out of a 1986 VW bus.

Now, the happy couple has returned from a fantastic, life-altering experience to take the next step.

With this brand new rugged, super stealthy blog, Deliberate Movement has made the smooth and natural transition into an entity that manufactures BADASSES.  If you’re looking to redefine yourself and face ALL of life’s challenges head on, you’ve come to the right place.

Kim Ball holds Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Exercise Physiology, as well as a Master’s in Nutritional Sciences.  She was a high-level competitive gymnast for 15 years.  And she is a full-fledged BADASS for life!

JD Danhoff is also a former gymnast, and is now an avid surfer, outdoor exercise enthusiast, skateboard artist and graphic designer.  His artistic visions and endless efforts have been the backbone of Deliberate Movement’s online image for the past 4 years.

Who knows what these two are capable of next…
