At Healthletica, our personal training sessions focus in on functional fitness.

Functional fitness is all about building muscle strength in your core (torso) by means of exercises that mimic common everyday activities that involve multiple muscle groups tensing and stretching. These actions may seem unremarkable, but physiologically, they’re quite complex.

A functional fitness routine builds mobility and flexibility first. Only then does it shift its emphasis to building strength.

It doesn’t require expensive equipment. It involves exercises like squats, lunges and pushups, as well as simple aids like exercise balls, dumbbells, resistance bands, kettlebells, foam rollers, steppers or stairs, and a suspension system that uses gravity and body weight to develop balance, flexibility, core stability and strength.

You don’t have to be a Healthletica member to take advantage of our private personal training sessions and learn how to prevent future injuries that can arise from everyday activities.
