F.A.S.T
What is F.A.S.T?
F.A.S.T stands for Functional Active Strength Training. A type of training that is a combined approach to whole body health. It is not just exercise, it is guided exercise encouraging proper movement patterns. A Holistic approach to exercise, bringing in proper movement patterns into exercise to aid in injury prevention and recovery. These small group sessions encourage individual improvements and growth in a non-intimidating setting.
It’s not just exercise, it’s the way we do the exercise.
→Functional: Practical and useful movements specifically targeting our ability to perform every day activities. When our body functions effectively our pain subsequently decreases.
→Active: Engaging in physically energetic pursuits. Exercising (being active) promotes endorphins, a hormone that makes you happy; which inturn helps you regulate stress. Exercise has many immediate and long-term benefits, such as weight loss, decreased risk of cardiovascular event, diabetes and depression.
→Strength: The quality or state of being physically strong. We need strength for everyday tasks such as – getting up and down from a chair, getting in and of bed, grocery shopping, lifting our kids up, playing with our fur babies, hanging out the washing, building a house, working in a physical job etc
→Training: Regular sessions are integral to improved body function. Learning to move well is key to the body finding balance.
FAST is available to everybody, however we require all FAST member to undertake a 30 minute 1 on 1 assessment with one of our trainers prior to your first group session.
