Frequently Asked Questions

What is functional training?

Functional training focuses on the “why” for the development of exercise program. The main benefit of functional training is to improve real life motion and mobility so moving is done more efficiently and enjoyably. According to the American Council of Exercise: “Simply stated, the primary goal of functional training is to transfer the improvements in strength achieved in one movement to enhancing the performance of another movement by affecting the entire neuromuscular system.”

What is Pilates?

Pilates is resistance based training using specialized equipment that utilizes springs as the source of resistance. Pilates builds on core strength to promote optimal posture, increase overall strength and stamina and promote balanced and efficient movement patterns. Pilates is unique in that unlike weight training it uses ‘elastic training’ which can build strength without the need for much weight bearing and/or compression.
