Functional Fitness

8 week program

This advanced 8-week program is based on functional movements (sequences of movements based on real-world situations) to help you both in your fitness, and in your every day life. There are seven basic functional movement patterns: squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, carry and rotate. We cover all of them in this program and then incorporate metabolic conditioning training as you progress.

The Programming

In Functional Fitness, we blend functional hypertrophy training with metabolic conditioning to help you build lean muscle, improve movement, and boost overall fitness—both in and out of the gym.

Functional hypertrophy uses moderate weights and higher rep ranges (typically 6–12 reps) with short rest periods to create metabolic stress and promote muscle growth. As the weeks progress, you’ll gradually increase intensity and volume—helping your body stay challenged and continue to adapt.

At the same time, we incorporate metabolic workouts that use high-intensity, compound movements to elevate your heart rate, increase calorie burn, and ramp up your metabolism. You’ll work through minimal rest, full-body sequences that not only torch fat but also build endurance and cardiovascular health.

By combining hypertrophy with functional movement and metabolic conditioning, this program helps you train smarter, perform better, and feel more capable in everyday life in just 8 weeks!

Week 4 takes you to a metabolic conditioning style of training that will have you out of breath and sweating. Then, weeks 6 through 8 move you to a more classic hypertrophy training style. Look for changes to the movements, reps and sets each time the split changes!

Sadie T.

Functional Fitness

My goal for this challenge was to hopefully gain much confidence within this 8 weeks so I can feel overall amazing physically, mentally and emotionally! Seeing transformations from previous challenges of people who have completed this, I knew I needed to do this ASAP! Being a full time college student for my last year of college, maintaining a full time management position, and trying to live a happy healthy lifestyle can be super challenging all around but this program allowed me to live right within that.

I’m so proud of myself for how much better I feel, how much confidence I have gained and just how happy I am overall!!
