the benefits > back to functional training

Some of the benefits of functional training include:

  • Improved body awareness
  • Improved ability to go about every day life
  • Increased number of calories burned compared to traditional machine based exercises
  • More enjoyable therefore more likely to do it
  • Helps prevent injuries by strengthening the entire body
  • Less requirement for expensive exercise equipment

Functional Training aims to replicate combinations of these movements that will improve performance in every day life.

"As a result of my experience with Functional Training, I can report an increased awareness of the body, posture and muscles during training and I have noticed a definite increase in strength when performing even simple tasks like housework and climbing the stairs. From just a few sessions, my balance has improved considerably as has muscle tone and it is obvious that with continued use of the Functional Training techniques George has shown me, I will continue to reap the benefits."
