functional fitness training

Life is not a spectator sport. Functional Fitness Training is a harmonic blend of physical therapy, yoga, and pilates that mimics your daily activities. Life is not a spectator sport. It is dynamic and constantly changing. For patients of Align Wellness Center, the advantages of this program can be best felt when performing those tasks in everyday life that cause pain, discomfort, or a loss of flexibility.

A 30-minute session of Functional Fitness Training at Align Wellness Center has tremendous physiological benefits which include:

Benefits of Functional Fitness Training
  • Achieving a target heart rate
  • Decreased body fat
  • Increased flexibility
  • Increased metabolic rate
  • Improved strength and endurance

Furthermore, over an 8-week training program, participants on average reported weight loss of 7-15 pounds, and also cited improved body composition, pain relief, a rapid return to regular daily activities, and an overall healthier feeling.

Functional Fitness Training is a complement to regular chiropractic care, therapeutic massage, nutritional programs, and lifestyle therapy. The techniques have been used by teachers to reduce stress, by brides in getting ready for their special day, by busy people who need to exercise on a tight schedule, and by many others who seek to minimize their daily aches and pains.

Prior to the training, Align will perform a Wellness Assessment which will evaluate past exercise and fitness habits, set new baselines, and establish your personal goals. The findings will help establish guidelines for your customized program and keep you on pace for those goals. Wellness Assessments are also used as a follow-up to training as a measure of the program´s effectiveness.
