Functional Fitness Principles

Mobility

Before you can move fast, move for a long time, or even move strongly- you must be able to move! Sounds obvious, right? But many fitness programs skip past this essential element. Access your full, natural range-of-motion, and unlock unhindered function of your body. Remove pain at its true source, and prevent future pain and injury.

Stability

We need to hold everything together so that it lasts. Stability of your hips, back, and shoulders is like traveling through life on a clear, strong railroad track instead of rough, uncertain wagon trail. It makes life safer, smoother, more efficient. It also allows us to do more in our training, with less risk.

Movement & Posture

We move through life the best way we know how (often our unconscious best guess), which is inefficient at best, and harmful to us at its worst. Good news though! This is easily remedied by the fun process of relearning the natural, mechanically correct skills of moving the body. This makes everyday life easier, leaving you with a surplus of energy, and of course, helps you avoid repetitive or sudden injuries.

Strength

When you’re strong, everything in life is lighter! Less energy needed to get things done, leaving you with a reserve at the end of your day (instead of feeling like you’re running on the fumes at the bottom of your fuel tank). Work and play more easily, safely, and harder. And it’s a powerful long term investment! Strength will carry you through the years, ensuring you can still do all of the things important to you, even many years from now.

Cardio & Stamina

When you adapt to the high output of the training, you will find yourself feeling weak or fatigued less frequently in everyday life. That means you can work harder and longer on what’s most important to you- and play harder and longer doing the joyful activities you cherish. And yes, it is healthy for your heart, lungs, and circulatory system too!
