What Is Functional Training?

Functional training refers to a system of training that aims to deliver transferable benefits and enhancements to our daily movements and actions.

In our everyday lives, we often perform physical activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, shifting furniture, lifting trash etc. All these activities often involve multiple muscle groups, multi-planar actions and multi-joint movements - all at the same time.

The role of functional training is to mimic or duplicate these everyday movement patterns during training in order to improve our abilities to perform these activities in real life.

Why Do We Need Functional Training

Functional training helps our bodies to perform our everyday chores and activities in a more productive and effective manner, and in the process makes our lives easier, our movements more efficient, and our bodies stronger and fitter!

As mid-life and older adults, being functionally-fit is absolutely crucial in ensuring that we are able to cope with REAL-LIFE challenges and demands in our day-to-day living.

Whom This Program Is For

For ALL individuals, regardless whether you're 40, 60 or 80, as each and every one of us live in a REAL world that requires us to lift, hoist, pull, push, twist and rotate in our daily functions, interactions and activities.

A functional fitness program not only teaches you to use your body as an integrated unit just as the way Nature intends it to be, but also trains your body to become a more efficient and effective servant for you - so as to help you better handle your real-life challenges - day-in, day-out.
