Become a Functional Training Specialist

All World-class Trainers Have an In-depth Knowledge of Functional Anatomy and Training, Now it is Your Turn!

Many fitness training programs sacrifice functionality, and overlook optimal movement, to meet a client’s aesthetic goals. Now you can gain the high-level knowledge of functional training so you can help your clients improve function and mobility in addition to their aesthetic goals.

Whether the goal is aesthetics or performance, proper functional fitness training will improve both. The main goal of most gym members, or fitness enthusiasts, is how they look more than “function.” However, function is proven to improve not only sport and work performance, but physical appearance as well. Learn these essential skills and become a top-level fitness professional.

 

What is Functional Training?

Functional training is the use of exercises which involve complex, multi-joint movements of the upper body, core and lower body in each exercise. Just because the body CAN move in a given direction does not necessarily mean that it should be reinforced through repetitive movement patterns, with explosive tempo and/or heavy loads. We need more information before making such choices.
