Even if the exact definition of the term "functional training" is still controversial, functional training primarily serves the purpose ofoptimizing speed, endurance, coordination, strength and mobility and is intended to help make the body fit for everyday life as well as deeper athletic loads.
In functional training, entire muscle groups and complete muscle chains in the body are addressed, and complex movement chains are performed instead of individual movements. In conventional strength training, also known as "isolated training", on the other hand, a single muscle, sometimes even only parts of a muscle, are addressed with simple, always the same movements. With Functional Training, physical and mental performance is increased and the risk of injury is minimized as a preventative measure.
Functional complete solution from WOODWAY
The main reasons for not exercising regularly are lack of time and motivation.
A Functional Training Circuit counteracts this, as the workouts are not only time effective, but also fun, especially in comparison to the usual monotonous equipment training in the studio. In just one hour, it is possible to efficiently stimulate muscle growth and improve endurance.
Since functional training -which, by the way, has its roots in high-performance sports- is now also increasingly in demand in the gym, WOODWAY now also offers a functional complete solution with the slat treadmill "4Front", the indoor bike "Wattbike " andthe "FitBench", which provides everything needed for an effective and goal-oriented full-body workout in the smallest space.
In addition to functionality , the focus of the "Circle" is on modularity and offers everyone, whether top athletes or sports beginners, an attractive and effective training platform for optimizing performance. Selected exercises are strung together in this concept in such a way that, in addition to activating all muscle groups, cardiovascular training is not neglected.
By implementing a functional training area, studio operators benefit not only from the unique selling point compared to the competition and the associated new memberships, but also, depending on the orientation, from additional revenue opportunities through the offering of paid courses.
WOODWAY, a premium supplier in professional sports, personal training, commercial fitness and rehabilitation for over 40 years, now offers the independent all-in-one solution for the studio space with its new Functional Training concept.
4Front" motorized slat treadmill
The motorized slat treadmill "4Front" can be replaced as needed by other models such as the original curved and completely current-free treadmill of the "Curve" series, which has already been successfully used as a functional tool in the field of cardio training since 2011. In addition to activating additional muscle areas due to the motorless drive, the Curve also promises a proven up to 30% higher calorie turnover (compared to conventional treadmills).
