Driven by Curiosity, Since 1997.
Why do bodies respond so differently?
We followed the exercise rules. For some clients, they progressed. For others, they did not.
We knew there was more.
That restlessness became Integra. Exploration into anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, skill, knowledge, and experience. It was here that we came to the exercise mechanics methodology.
What we learned: when the programme adapts to the person, your client has the potential of your own accomplishment.
There's always more to discover.

Who you'll work with.
Michael Goulden
Michael Goulden
After 30 years in fitness, Michael still approaches every challenge like a puzzle to solve. He founded Integra in 1997 with a simple question: why do some people progress while others don't?
Every exercise is an experiment. Every rep is data. This investigative approach — developed through nearly three decades of client work — shapes every programme at Integra.
He holds an MSc in Biomechanics, RTS Mastery, and MAT Mastery, and is the first Mastery-certified RTS practitioner in the UK. In 2002 he founded Integra EDU, and in 2012 joined the RTS faculty — teaching exercise professionals across the UK, Europe, and globally.

Roberta Watts
Roberta Watts
Roberta didn't begin her career looking for a method — she found one when she realised how differently people respond to the same exercise. After qualifying in 2013 and joining Integra in 2014, she was drawn to exercise mechanics for its precision and its ability to explain those differences.
Her education spans Integra EDU's programme, MAT, and RTS, becoming the first person globally to certify at RTS Level 2. Alongside this, she has spent years studying communication and coaching with a specialist mentor — exploring how language, mindset, and environment shape capability.
Roberta integrates physical training with mental preparation and lifestyle strategy, helping clients build strength, resilience, and confidence that extend far beyond the studio.
Featured in GQ, Runner's World, and multiple podcasts.
Her belief is simple: clarity creates confidence — and confidence transfers.
