Functional Training is truly individualized personal training that takes the client and how they move into account. At Functional Training LA (FTLA), we do not give you the same workout you see everywhere, we design a workout that will solve the problems and frustrations you have in reaching your goals,

Most fitness routines are derived from bodybuilding. If your goal is to just increase muscle mass, that's fine and we can design a kick-ass muscle building routine for you. But, if you have other goals such as to sharpen your prowess on the golf course, ski-slopes, tennis court, or just your day-to-day life, functional training is a more effective approach to lifting in that it mimics movements actually involved in sports and everyday activity.
Rather than working on muscle groups in isolation, Functional Training focuses on exercising and strengthening several muscles and joints together to help burn calories more efficiently and help people perform their daily activities with greater ease and less pain and discomfort.
FTLA uses cutting edge training methods based on science to give results that "cookie cutter" workouts fail to deliver.

Whether you aspire to become pain free, recover from an injury, or increase sports performance, flexibility is one of the most overlooked components in today's fitness routines but can make or break even the most carefully designed training program.
