  • Fitness is about more than exercise. It’s about maintaining the physical body’s strength, agility and adaptability—which your body needs for optimal function.
This week is all about movement. Exercise is a tool to help us maintain optimal function throughout our life but it can come in many forms. We want to redefine what functional movement is and change your relationship with fitness. ​
