Shawn's Personal Fitness

We take a customized approach to designing your workout using cutting-edge fitness modalities

What is Functional Fitness Training?


* Multi-disciplinary, movement-based training that focuses on building a body capable of doing real-life activities in real-life positions, not just lifting a certain amount of weight in an idealized posture created by a gym machine
* Total body movement, agility and stability with a key toward integration. Using functional exercise to teach the muscles to work together rather than isolating them to work independently
* Core, cross-training and flexibility to tone and strengthen


Benefits of Functional Fitness Training:

* Boosts metabolism which builds the body’s ability to use oxygen effectively to burn fat and generate energy for cardiovascular health
* Elongates muscle positions for flexibility
* Encourages total body coordination reinforced by specific, focused and efficient programming.
* Maximizes muscular strength and tone
* Reduces stress
