With 'Functional Training' fast becoming one of the biggest trends in the fitness industry and every gym on the block now offering some type of functional classes, it's easy to wonder what all the hype is about.

In this episode I'm joined by Personal Trainer Ed Stephenson from Freight Fitness to discuss whether or not Functional Training is just a fad, or if it's here for good.
 
Tune in to find out:

• Exactly what it is and what it means to do Functional Training;
• How Functional Training came about;
• What benefits it has to offer;
• Whether we feel everyone should be including some type of Functional Training in their workout or movement practice; and
• How to start if you're new to this style of training.

Ed is a Personal Trainer with over 7 years experience. He also holds additional qualifications in Strength and Conditioning, Cross Fit and Nutrition and offers 1:1 and small group training at Premier Health and Fitness in Brookvale, as well as running several of their Functional Training classes each week.
