Chances are you've heard the term "functional fitness" before. This type of training differs in several ways compared to "mainstream" general fitness or bodybuilding.
This type of training uses techniques to improve movement quality, efficiency, and overall physical preparedness rather than just to add muscle mass.
This means moving better and looking better!
This means limiting injuries, playing more sports, and even eating and sleeping better.
This means being fit to literally climb to new heights.
The best part is you only need 2-3 hours per week!
Who is this best for?
Fitness equals freedom
