I HAVEN’T WORKED OUT IN A LONG TIME. CAN I STILL DO THE WORKOUT?
Of course! Functional Fitness is for anyone regardless of your fitness level, and everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace. We recommend signing up for a free* introductory class, then discussing any thoughts or questions you may have regarding the workout or your fitness goals with our experienced staff and coaches before class.
I HAVE ISSUES WITH (PART OF THE BODY). CAN I STILL DO THE WORKOUT?
Absolutely. Our coaches are trained to provide scales for each exercise so you can still meet the intended stimulus of the workout.

We offer light weight and resistance functional movements for upper body or arthritic restrictions.

DO THESE WORKOUTS CAUSE INJURIES?
No, fitness helps prevent injuries. Just like with any training/sport there are risks and injuries can occur. Fortunately the benefits of fitness outweigh the risks.
To reduce the risk of injury remember here are few tips:
- Take a rest day at least 1 day a week to let your body recover,
- Increase your mobility with stretching daily,
- Strengthen the little muscles around the larger muscle groups
- Be conscious of what your body is telling you there is a difference between being sore and in pain. Do not push through pain
- Drink plenty of fluids
