Integrated Strength Training

Integrated, or functional strength, is a time-efficient training program that focuses on developing usable strength in sequential muscle patterns moving over a stable or strong core. We use Resist-a-Balls, hand weights, body weight & balance.

  • Functional: Functional, usable, strength is that which you can support with your own body
  • Integrated: Our bodies are meant to work multiple muscles at the same time in order to perform everyday tasks or recreational activities.
  • Time-efficient:Training upper and lower body muscles simultaneously is not only functional but it can also be a great time saver.
  • Quality over Quantity:The emphasis in integrated or functional strength is on the quality of the movement rather than how many you can do or at what level.
  • Qualified Instructor:MA in PHED, ACE-PT, E-RYT-500
