Move Better Every Day

Life doesn’t happen in straight lines, and your workouts shouldn’t either.

At Taylor Pilates and Fitness, functional training complements the foundation you develop through Pilates by preparing your body for the movements you perform every day. Reaching overhead, carrying groceries, climbing stairs, hiking Colorado trails, and improving your golf swing all require your body to work as a connected system.

Functional training focuses on movement patterns such as pushing, pulling, squatting, bending, rotating, and carrying, helping you build the strength, stability, mobility, and coordination to move through everyday life with greater confidence.

Functional training is designed to help you move with greater ease, strength, and control in the activities that matter to you.

Why Functional Training?

Functional training prepares your body for real-life movement by improving the way your muscles work together. Rather than isolating individual muscles, exercises challenge your body to move efficiently through multiple planes of motion while developing balance, coordination, strength, and mobility. Benefits of functional training include:

  • Improved balance, stability, and coordination in everyday activities

  • Increased mobility and flexibility

  • Greater core strength

  • Improved movement efficiency

  • Enhanced performance during sports and recreation

From improving athletic performance and reducing everyday aches to supporting an active lifestyle, functional training helps prepare your body for the movements that matter most.

Training Designed Around the Way You Move

Your movement patterns, current abilities, and goals all influence the way you train. That’s why every functional training session is personalized to support your needs, lifestyle, and the activities you enjoy.

Your instructor may incorporate specialized equipment, including the Oov and CoreAlign, to improve movement quality, challenge balance, build stability, and increase body awareness. Bodyweight exercises, hand weights, and resistance bands may also be incorporated to create a varied and progressive training experience.
