Functional Fitness

building Strength & Fitness

Functional exercise replicates functional movement, that is, those movements we use to get average things done in our daily lives. Standing from a seated position, placing things overhead, pulling ourselves up, throwing, running, picking things up-these are all functional movements.

A functional fitness regimen, then, would be one that utilizes functional exercises to address and enhance our ability to successfully complete these types of everyday tasks. Functional exercise allows our bodies to perform the way in which they were engineered. Squats, push ups, pull ups, deadlifts, box jumps, push press, and running are a few examples of exercises we use in combination at ELEV8 MMA.

Our classes usually consists of skill practiced followed by strength work and finished with metabolic conditioning. Each session is coached with specific emphasis on technique.
