What is Functional Training?
Functional training focuses on exercises that mimic real-life movements. It targets strength, endurance, balance, flexibility, mobility, and cardiovascular fitness – all essential components for improving your daily life. By training the muscles you use most in everyday tasks, functional training enhances your overall movement patterns, helps prevent injuries, and builds a solid foundation for long-term health. The core movements of functional training include:- Pushing
- Pulling
- Lifting
- Core stabilization and engagement

How F45 Incorporates Functional Training:
These movements are the building blocks of many functional exercises. For example, common functional exercises include squats, lunges, push-ups, and bicep curls. The beauty of functional training is its adaptability – you’ll perform similar foundational movements, but in varied exercises and combinations to keep both your body and mind engaged.F45 Training is a global fitness phenomenon that takes functional training to the next level. F45 blends high-intensity interval training (HITT), circuit training, and functional exercises into a 45-minute, group training session.The time-efficient format is designed to keep you engaged while targeting multiple muscle groups to build strength, endurance, and overall fitness.
F45 offers three different types of classes:
- Resistance Training – Focuses on building lean muscle mass through compound movements and hypertrophy (muscle growth). The resistance workouts use overloading techniques to challenge your muscles, improving strength and endurance.
- Cardio Circuits – Incorporates plyometric movements like squats, battle ropes, burpess, and box jumps, along with various erg machines (rower, bike, and ski). These cardio-focused workouts elevate your heart rate and enhance cardiovascular health.
- Hybrid Sessions – A mix of both resistance and cardio training. This format combines the best of both worlds to help you build strength while boosting your cardiovascular fitness.
