Welcome To Berkshire Functional Fitness

Functional fitness is preparing your body, through exercise, to be able to perform daily activities at your best, without pain, injury or discomfort. Daily activities such as walking, bending, lifting, climbing stairs, participating in sports, etc. Functional fitness is training for life, not for events. It is learning to use multiple muscle groups in an integrated way to obtain synergy in the body. This runs counter to the idea behind machine-based weight training, which was developed to allow bodybuilders to isolate single muscle groups. Your muscles may get stronger on machines, but without working your muscles together, we create isolated weakness which can be detrimental in daily functional movement. Functional fitness programs integrate structural integrity, postural integrity, balanced muscular development, correct stretching techniques, injury prevention, alignment and precision of movement.
