Cut through the noise and understand what functional training really means in practice.
In this enlightening webinar, we embark on a journey to demystify the concept of ‘functional training,’ a term that has firmly entrenched itself in the fitness industry. Gray Cook, the creator of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), rightly points out, “Everyone has a different definition of function.” So, what exactly is functional training, and why has it become a ubiquitous aspect of fitness culture?
Our expert, Biomechanics Coach Rachel Thomson (Biomechanics Education), delves into the scientific foundations, insights from global leaders, and the potential need for a paradigm shift to truly understand functional training. Rather than accepting it as a universal norm, let’s explore the multifaceted aspects of this training methodology.
This webinar provided amazing insight and gave me practical knowledge I could implement with my clients to see real results.
