Functional fitness classes are popping up everywhere, so what’s with the latest exercise trend, and is it really worth giving the classes a go?
Our answer is, yes – scroll down to find out how to book your ISOFIT class today!
Functional fitness classes offer transformative benefits that go beyond traditional workouts. Classes are tailored to focus on movements used in everyday life, helping you build strength, improve balance, and increase coordination.
Whether you’re new to fitness or an experienced athlete, functional training will elevate your overall well-being and enhance your quality of life.
How do functional fitness classes work?
Functional fitness classes are designed to train your body for the activities you do every day.
These workouts use exercises that work multiple muscle groups, making your body stronger and more efficient.
By mimicking real-life movements, functional fitness workouts can help you get fitter, move better, and avoid injuries.
Key benefits of functional fitness
Build Strength and Endurance: Functional fitness workouts, like those you’ll find at a functional fitness studio such as ISOFIT, are perfect for building muscle and endurance. Think deadlifts, squats, and push-ups – all great for training for strength.
Enhance Mobility and Flexibility: These workouts focus on movements that improve your range of motion, which means better flexibility and fewer injuries. Exercises for arms, exercises for abs, and glute exercises are often part of the routine to ensure a full-body workout.
Improve Balance and Coordination: Functional exercises require stabilisation, which enhances your balance and coordination. This is especially helpful as you get older, helping you stay independent and avoid injuries.
Get a Complete Workout: These classes blend cardio and strength training, giving you a full-body workout that improves heart health and builds muscle endurance.
Exercises you'll typically find in a functional fitness class
Here are some of the common exercises you’ll find in functional fitness classes and why they’re beneficial:
Deadlifts: Strengthen your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings, making everyday tasks like lifting heavy objects easier.
Push-Ups: Work your chest, shoulders, and triceps, building upper body strength that supports activities like pushing and lifting.
Squats: Build strong legs and core, enhancing your ability to perform actions such as sitting and standing.
Planks: Increase core stability and strength, improving posture and reducing the risk of back pain.
Lunges: Improve balance and coordination while working your legs, aiding in movements like stepping and climbing.
