stems from collaboration. Having begun his career as an exercise physiologist, Pilgrim saw the need for more efficient treatment and rehabilitation centers in the community. Additionally, he saw the need for the healthcare industry to have people better equipped with business skills so that their

businesses were more empowered to provide better services and therefore, have better outcomes. “I realized I wanted to do more,” Pilgrim expressed during a recent interview. “I wanted to be able to assist more people, and when you’re swapping time for money, there’s only so much time you can give.” Hence, the creation of In2Motion.

But the team has been able to keep up with such quick expansion and in turn has been awarded consistently both nationally and internationally for its performance. “Here, we don’t say TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday), we say TGIM (Thank God It’s Monday) because it means we get to spend time with our team again and we get to go out and A Holistic Allied Health Clinic empower people’s lives and get In2Motion was Pilgrim’s first stand- them to lead healthier and happier alone company.

There is one piece of technology, however, that In2Motion uses that is cutting edge and usually only seen in city centres. The $12K G.A.I.T. scan is an

Rather than trying to sell a product, we build people personally and professionally and we directly assist their own businesses to grow.” This creates a significant benefit to everyone involved with this movement and best of all, patient outcomes are the greatest beneficiary of this unique situation they have created.
Allied Health Blueprint–a five-step process specific to allied health that goes through every single aspect that an allied health company needs to partake in to have a successfully run business. “The blueprint I personally developed over the last four to six years,” said Pilgrim. “I’ve previously done a lot of work with business coaches and been heavily involved with many industries.

“What would normally take eight to ten years to do in our industry, by following this exact blueprint within a 24-month period, [Global Kaizen] can have businesses in a situation where they’ve got a million-dollar health company,” he added. According to Pilgrim, The Global Kaizen Group is the avenue and the business that can allow people to achieve their desired lifestyle. “It’s the next step from In2Motion,” said Pilgrim. “The Global Kaizen Group has a real tribe that really drives itself. You’ve got some of our top allied health professionals linking with one another through business and it’s allowing for a very strong and committed group of business owners to share, something that has never been done before in our industry.” “These businesses are thriving exponentially because rather than having to go out and develop everything themselves, they’re able to go out and utilize our blueprints of guaranteed success and draw upon the experiences and relationships they’ve got with the other leading providers,” Pilgrim added. “There are some huge opportunities for our industry to really grow and the best part is that we’re trading a healthier and happier environment for our kids to grow up in. The more we push this forward, and work together with this approach to make all of our businesses grow, the more we’re benefiting the communities around us.”
