Episode 6: What is Functional training?

from The StrongAF Club · host Asim Fayyaz

In this episode of The Strong AF Club, Hosts Nate and Asim cut through the noise around one of the most overused (and misunderstood) buzzwords in the fitness world: functional training. What does it really mean? Is balancing on a BOSU ball while doing curls actually helping you move better—or just look ridiculous? We break down the myths, misuse, and misinformation, and get into what real functional training looks like—training that actually supports your strength, performance, and life outside the gym. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or everyday lifter, this is one you won't want to miss.
