Group Coaching - Functional Fitness

Coach Led, group Functional fitness

The primary training program at State 35 centered around what Bruce Evans and Jim Cawley of Dynamax call the 10 general physical skills:

• Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance –  The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen. 

• Stamina – The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.

• Strength – The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force. 

• Flexibility – The ability to maximize range of motion at a given joint.

• Power – The ability of muscular unit or combination of to apply maximum force in minimum time. 

• Speed – The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement. 

• Coordination – The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.

• Agility – The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another. 

• Balance – The ability to control the body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base. 

• Accuracy – The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.

Our goal in out programming is proficiency in each of these areas. We use linear progressions (think cycles) towards these goals as long as progress is being made. In the event that progress slows, we introduce variance.

Our classes incorporate a warm-up, specific skill or strength work, conditioning, and accessory movements. The classes are led from start to finish by a certified and experienced coach so whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, so don’t hesitate to jump onboard!
