Unlike large gyms or recreational centers, Functional Strength focuses on each individual client, ensuring that they achieve their goals regardless of whether they are in a private or a group session.

What is Pilates? Pilates is a method of body conditioning that focuses on strengthening and lengthening muscles while creating balance in opposing muscle groups. The goal of Pilates is to achieve and maintain structural alignment in the body. With structural alignment, external forces can be better distributed through the joints in a manner that doesn’t overstress one specific area of the body.
For example, instead of the lower back or neck bearing an inordinate amount of body weight, many muscles can learn to work together to align the spine, which in turn better supports that weight and distributes it throughout the body. This sometimes minor adjustment will alleviate pain and increase efficiency in movement. In addition to decreasing joint pain, gaining body awareness, and improving your posture, Pilates will also help improve core strength, flexibility, and balance.
What does this mean for you? It means that instructors at Functional Strength have the education and background to help you achieve and maintain a high standard of general fitness. Furthermore, the small classes at Functional Strength mean that even in a group setting, the instructors can modify any exercise for your general fitness, post-operative rehabilitation, or sport-specific goals.
Finally, because Functional Strength focuses on helping clients achieve their goals, they have worked hard to make both private sessions and group classes affordable for everyone.
