What is Functional Training?
Func.tion.al
⦁ Usable, capable of operating or functioning
⦁ having or serving a purpose; capable of serving the purpose for which it was designed or created.
The word “functional” is commonly used to indicate “useful”, “applicable”, or something that works. Today other gyms, their trainers, therapists and rehabilitation clinics all claim to provide or prescribe “functional exercise.” Most of these other programs are sticking a label on traditional exercises so they can market themselves as different. Not at JM Functional Training.
Have you noticed others working out with their personal trainers and doing some “strange” exercises? Have you wondered by so many people are balancing on one foot while performing an overhead shoulder press? Or why anyone would do a single-leg squat when regular ones are already difficult enough? Or why so many people are jumping on and off BOSUs?
The answer to these perfectly normal questions is functional strength training. Used by hundreds of professional Olympic and collegiate athletes, and thousands of people wanting to achieve top physical condition. JM Functional Training incorporates an integrated functional training system designed to deliver optimum results. Study after study has proven that the human body must have flexibility, balance, and core strength to perform optimally in work, sports and life.
Most people operate under the assumption that weight training is just done to develop strength and power and to carry groceries into your house, pick up a child or climb a ladder, you need balance and core strength. The functional strength you can get with JM Functional Training, will help you complete these daily tasks in the safest possible way.
You’ll also discover that fitness is not about lifting hundreds of pounds of weights! In fact, you’ll find that the integrated training approach that JM Functional Training uses will give you better results you can truly use.
