Functional Strength Training

Functional Strength Training uses a combination of barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, functional trainer and floor-based exercises to help improve your stability, strength, and overall health and wellbeing while helping you stay injury-free.

Our physiotherapists will create a program specifically tailored for you and guide you through each exercise so that you can safely and confidently build strength. We recommend doing your strength training 2-4 times a week. Our Exercise Studio has everything you need from a functional trainer to barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, landmine press and more.

Functional strength training provides the greatest benefits when you commit to regular and ongoing sessions — we understand this is a commitment — both in time and finances. We  provide information below to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision and give you every opportunity of achieving your physical health goals.

Your Range Physio will recommend an appropriate program that fits in with your goals and lifestyle. By learning to perform your gym program with correct technique load and progression you will lessen the load on your joints, maximise improvements in muscle strength, and give you the best chance to move better and feel better.

Get stronger in classes or at the gym

Once we have put your gym program together it takes time to groove your technique and build up strength. In our Semi-Private classes you can complete your program under supervision to ensure optimal technique and execution of exercises. These sessions run for 45 min with a maximum of 5 people in the class. If your physiotherapist thinks it is safe and appropriate to do so you can also complete our programs in our gym through studio memberships or at your local gym.
