Functional Training

Why do we exercise? Many of us work out to look or feel good. But what if we told you there's a way to get fit that will also help you improve the way you move throughout your day? When you want to get better at just doing life, try functional training. Functional training helps give you the strength, stability, and mobility you need to thrive in your life and in your fitness endeavors. Every day, we use basic functional movement patterns like pushing, pulling, hinging, squatting, and rotating. We also walk and carry things every day. So why not exercise in a way that improves your ability to move through life? At BDY, we offer TRX Suspension Training, a form of functional training that destabilizes your body, allowing your core and joint stabilizers to kick in and help you maintain your balance during exercises. As you train your muscles to get better at firing up under those shaky conditions, you’re improving your balance and stability, which will help you avoid injuries over time. Regardless of your fitness goals, abilities, or limitations, functional training should be a part of your exercise routine. You plan to live a long, healthy life, so start preparing your body for the journey now with our TRX classes (Barboursville, Monday 9 a.m. and Wednesday eve., starting in July, and Huntington on Wednesday and Thursday eve. and Saturday morning). As for Katrina and Rich, they love to put the FUN in functional!
