A new fitness trend uses gravity and your own bodyweight to give you an intense workout, save you time and help you function better at everyday tasks.
Functional Fitness classes at Hawthorn Leisure Centre are proving a huge success. As a local authority leisure centre, Hawthorn Gym has a reputation for offering cutting edge fitness at a significantly subsidised cost.
Functional Fitness trains your muscles to work together using a system of suspended straps and your own body weight, stimulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports. It has been described as exercise that works in perfect harmony with your body.
Functional Fitness classes use your own body weight for maximum results
Functional fitness exercises are multi-joint, multimuscle exercises. Hawthorn gym manager, Tracy Nicholls said,”There has been a big shift in the way we exercise . Rather than spending hours and hours at the gym training individual body parts now we exercise using whole body movements, maximising results and overall body conditioning. It also has a huge impact on your everyday well being.”
