Benefits of functional fitness
Well-rounded exercise routine
Functional Fitness works multiple muscle groups in each exercise - engaging many different muscle groups in one session.
Increased muscle mass for daily activities
Isolation exercises, through movement or machines, may help to build muscle growth, but they don't prepare individuals for activities they may do daily. Functional fitness helps prepare muscles that are used daily.
You will break a sweat!
You will be challenge in this class, but the challenges are tailored to your fitness level with available modifications. We can also accommodate wheel chairs, walkers, or other equipment.
