Classes / Functional Bodybuilding
Saturday strength classFunctional Bodybuilding. Build muscle. Move well.
Controlled, lower-impact strength training that builds muscle and stronger joints. The perfect partner to your CrossFit week.
What is Functional Bodybuilding?
Functional Bodybuilding takes the best of bodybuilding (building muscle) and makes it useful for real life. We use dumbbells, kettlebells and bodyweight, with plenty of single-arm and single-leg work.
No racing the clock. Every rep is slow, controlled and done well.

Functional Bodybuilding questions.
Will I get bulky?
Building muscle takes time and food. Most people simply get stronger and more defined.
Can I do it alongside CrossFit?
Yes. That is exactly what it is designed for.
Is it easy because it is lower impact?
Lower impact, not easy. Expect to feel it the next day.
