Functional training focuses on movement patterns, not muscles — and this category explores the tools, techniques, and principles that support better everyday performance. From rotational strength and power to balance, gait, and integrated movement, you’ll find practical insights for building bodies that move well at every age.
We cover tools such as the RMT Club, YBell, TRX, and other functional training equipment used to reinforce patterns like reach, rotate, hinge, squat, push, pull, and gait.
