The facility at East Durham Fitness is split into three main areas:

FUNCTIONAL TRAINING

OPEN GYM

STUDIO CLASSES

What is Functional Training?

This is a question we get asked a lot! The best advise we can give is for you to come along and try a full week of training as every Functional session is very different!

Functional training is a FUN, varied way of training that pushes your body to limits that you’ve never experienced before! The main focus of our Functional training programming is on developing the 10 components of fitness:

  • Cardiovascular Endurance

  • Muscular Endurance

  • Strength

  • Flexibility

  • Power

  • Speed

  • Coordination

  • Agility

  • Balance

  • Accuracy

A Functional Training session will start with a board brief; the coach will explain the workout providing alternatives and progressions for all of the movements. The workout will begin with a group warm up followed by mobility and stretching. The coach will then explain and demonstrate all movements before the workout begins. It is widely accessible and a great way to train! 

Once you’ve experienced a week of Functional Training, you’ll never look back!
