What TYPE OF FITNESS DO YOU DO AT ELEVATE YYC?

Functional Fitness is a fitness program that will change your life. It is meant to make you prepared for anything that life throws at you. Instead of a room full of machines, we teach you how to move your body in a safe way using constantly varied movement performed at varying levels of intensity. As a truly functional program, the difficulty level of our daily workouts is designed to be increased or decreased, depending upon the individual. This makes them doable by anyone.

Daily workouts could include things such as core conditioning, rowing, sprinting, gymnastics, lifting, etc. And all our workouts are designed to improve overall flexibility, strength, speed, endurance, and agility regardless of age or ability.

How often do you recommend I come to the gym?

If you’re just starting up, we recommend coming three days/week for your first couple weeks, then build to four, then five. Once you’re up to five days per week, we recommend building in two recovery days per week.
