What is HeartMoves?

Inventor’s Process and Inspiration

The HEART® and the HeartMoves® system were invented by Paul Widerman and then developed and beta tested in NY's Hudson Valley in a class setting for 8 years in the Ellenville Public Library and Museum.

Additionally, workshops and presentations followed at the Burning Man Global Leadership Conference, on the Playa at Burning Man, Catharsis on the National Mall in DC, Health Alliance hospital, Kingston NY, and numerous other impromptu test sites.

Prior to the journey of the HEART®, Paul invented and patented the revolutionary functional training system SmartBells®, founding the parent company Thinkfit®. SmartBells proved to be a cutting-edge system of movement adopted by elite athletes, strength coaches, sports teams, the military, and nationally based gyms.

Evolutions Music Festival, 2022

The inspiration to create the HEART came in a proverbial “inventor’s eureka moment” for Paul in 2012 on Valentine’s Day in NYC.

The moment occurred on a winter walk through Greenwich Village upon noticing a window display of valentine hearts sparking the intuitive flash to expand upon the experience and success of SmartBells®.

HeartMoves began with a passionate sentiment to create a “new” Heart-based design.

A NEW tool intentionally designed to enhance and inspire human energy, creativity, and connectivity.

It was like a Marvel movie character observing the state of the world, and knowing we desperately needed new tools and systems for healing, optimizing health, and creating more human connections.

After the NYC walk, Paul got on the bus in NYC’s Port Authority and went home to the mountains of the Hudson Valley….and worked for the next ten years to build a product and company.
