Improve your posture, muscular endurance and
flexibility to take on the day.
Walk, run, row, ski, lift, jump and throw as you forge a connection between gym based training and daily activities. The functional kit we provide for you will prepare you for physical contingencies you do outside the gym. Our functional kit can simulate and strengthen the muscles linked to the movements you use in your daily life, making it easier for you to bend down to pick up your children, carry your shopping or swinging a golf club.
Using the functional equipment gives you a limitless amount of options meaning you train your entire body through 360 degrees which is a huge contributor to a strong and functioning core. This is unlike traditional gym equipment which can be restrictive meaning problem areas are sometimes missed. Functional based training can lend itself to short, medium and long-time domains at relative intensities with no real need to train specific muscle groups meaning your training can be constantly varied. This type of training will forge a broad fitness ensuring you can build on more than one area.
The rig is brought to you by Life Fitness and is perfect to use for HIIT Training. Focus on a full body workout and do sport specific exercise to build strength while doing boxing or on the trampette.
