What is functional fitness?

Functional fitness style workouts are an innovative fitness program that breaks the mundane! Our goal is to help you find a measurable and meaningful way to increase your fitness.

At their core, our workouts and WODs (“Workouts of the Day”) are performed at high intensity using continually leveraging various movements. This helps to bring maximum results for the time spent working out.

Draws From a Range of Disciplines

Functional fitness workouts draw from many sports and athletic activities, including weightlifting, running, gymnastics, rowing and more. Core movements ensure that the whole body is trained in the least amount of time possible for maximum results.

Intensity is key to achieving great results. A high output in a short amount of time results in a more intense workout. Our varied training approach to training combined with intense, functional movements can lead to dramatic fitness gains.

Get Fit in a Community

Workouts may involve weight training, running, jumping rope and rowing all in one WOD, but there are potentially endless permutations of functional fitness workouts.

However, another special element of functional fitness is the community that is fostered through training in group class setting. You will be around a group of like-minded individuals whose ultimate goal is to better themselves through fitness.  The combination of shared goals of health and fitness along with a centralized training location make this fitness approach truly special.

A Blend of Intensity and Community

In this way, functional fitness embodies both competition and camaraderie. This makes functional fitness gyms an amazing way to both stay fit and have fun. Those who embrace the functional fitness lifestyle report that it yields an unmatched results that they have never experienced in other fitness programs.

Functional fitness routines are also data-driven. Participants use scorecards (such as on a whiteboard) to track their progress over time. Keeping records and scores can allow progress to be accurately tracked and refinements made. This is often extremely motivating and can help to propel rapid progress.

Functional fitness is embraced by those who wish to be fit as well as in a state of preparedness for just about anything. Since there is no one specialty or focus of effort in functional fitness training over time, the whole body gets prepped for a range of physical encounters.

While these types of workouts can seem intimidating, it is extremely scalable. This means anyone at any fitness level can begin their functional fitness journey regardless of experience. All it takes is a commitment to do your best and push yourself from week to week. You can adjust the load and intensity of each workout to suit your progress level.
