You might be toned, and ready for the beach, but are you ready to lift your brief case out of the trunk or lift the groceries out of the cart or play your favorite sport?
Functional fitness and functional exercise are the latest gym buzzwords. They focus on building a body capable of doing real-life activities in real-life positions without injury, not just lifting a certain amount of weight in an idealized posture created by a gym machine.

The key to developing a truly functional training program is to do a functional fitness assessment which aids in the discovery of the bodies’ weakest links. With the proper diagnoses we can use primal motor movement patterns as well as specific corrective exercises to teach the body the proper movements and sequencing. We move in patterns and learning, re-learning or strengthening those patterns is the key to functional fitness.
