In today's episode, I talk about the philosophy behind my training and why I train my clients like I do. They don't all do the same thing, but at the same time they do. Functional training is the main modality here for my clients. Whether they're athletes or they are just recovering from surgery, functional training has helped them all reach the top of their game. It can help you as well. If you understand more about what it is and how it's helped my clients, it might give you pause to reflect on what you're doing and how you can get results similar to that of my clients' here at GFC. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/generalfitnesscompany/support
