As we all know, in everyday life we ask our bodies to perform a variety of different movements. So why not vary your training program in a manner that will teach your body to handle all the unexpected? A program that incorporates functional movement will keep your body moving in all directions, calling on your muscles and joints to work in unison.

To visualize this, think about having to pick up a heavy box and place it overhead.  You must first squat, then lift the box, balance it and lift it overhead.  Will you be ready to handle these complex movements? If you’re trained to, you will.  If you’re not, you’ll join the millions of others who complain about injuring their backs or knees.

So… let’s get with the program! Get off all the machines and start moving the entire body.  Expect the unexpected. Incorporate cardio, weights, pushes, pulls, torques, speed, power, intensity and variation.

Functional Training, in a nutshell, is all about how you train your body to handle real-life situations. Everyday chores require an extremely complex, coordinated set of movements that use multiple joint actions working in an orchestrated sequence. If you simply train each of these parts individually, your body is not prepared to operate as a whole unit.

For example, if you work out on a set of machines at your typical gym, you may be seeing positive results in your endurance, strength and weight control. However, if you need to place your carry-on luggage in the overhead bin of a plane, will your body be ready to squat down, bend over, lift and place the item above your head without fatigue or risk of injury?

The programs offered at Fitness Advantage incorporate total body movements. The key elements of training include endurance, coordination, agility, strength, speed, power, flexibility and balance working together to train the whole body.

Whether the performance is tied to competitive sports, recreational or general life activities, Fitness Advantage has a program for you.

With trained experts, you will identify your weaknesses and develop a specialized functional training program which will strengthen every element of your kinetic chain. Our proven individual, small or large group functional training programs will allow you to work so you can move effortlessly, efficiently and feel great!
I started working with Fitness Advantage after a health challenge and saw dramatic results with individual sessions as well as Pilates and group fitness classes. My trainer always makes it fun and different in each of her training sessions. In a year and a half I have never been bored. I now send my rehab clients that have completed their physical therapy to Fitness Advantage to get the full strengthening, coordination, balance and endurance training that they need. They individualize each clients program to fit their fitness levels and goals. I recommend them highly.

Todd’s classes are fantastic. He is an excellent teacher who varies his workouts every time. He can meet the needs of a large group or individualize as necessary. Fitness Advantage is a place that will get you in great physical shape in a very supportive environment.

I started going to Fitness Advantage on the recommendation of a friend after I mentioned my workouts seemed to hit a plateau. Todd’s boxing class was exactly what I needed to jump start my workouts again and add a different flare to my routines. What I like about Todd’s class is that I always feel like I got a great workout, and no two classes are ever the same. He is both a great motivator and instructor, and he will tailor the routine to the class size and participants.

What turned out to be a small goal getting definition of my arms became an entire body transformation. I work full time and have 3 active children.
Not having a lot of time to go to the gym I needed a complete body workout at least once a week. I have been with Kathy for 2 years and credit her unique individual workouts to a “better” me. I am proud to be back in my bikini and am a better Mom with energy to spare!!
