Conditioning

What functional training is and what it needs

Functional training is built on movements, not isolated muscles: jumps, throws, bodyweight pulls, the jump rope, work against resistance. The equipment is lighter and smaller than in the strength zone, but it still has to survive thousands of reps. In this category you will find plyo boxes in wood and soft foam, wall balls 2 to 12 kg and slam balls 2 to 30 kg, gymnastic rings and a suspension trainer, bearing jump ropes for double-unders, resistance bands from 2 to 75 kg, training mats, Rehband belts and supports and tools for mobility and recovery.

A functional zone at home

A few square metres is enough: a jump rope, one resistance band, a kettlebell from the strength category and a slam ball. Add a suspension trainer you can hang on a door or pull-up bar and you have dozens of bodyweight exercises. The plyo box and wall ball come next when you want to add explosiveness.

The zone in a gym and in group classes

For groups, plan one piece per person for ropes, bands and mats and one wall ball or slam ball per two people. Wall ball, slam ball and resistance band sets are put together exactly for this and work out better than single pieces. 24-month warranty, shipping across the EU.
