Functional Training Equipment for Hire
The term functional training is a catch all phrase that means the kind of workout that uses repetitive real world movements to enhance the ability to better perform functions that require fitness or strength.
Many health club members are now using functional training equipment, so gyms are hiring it to cater for larger numbers in a class. Boot camps and outdoor fitness classes are very popular, especially in parks and cities.
An example is a plyometric box exercise – jumping on and off this piece of equipment will enhance the ability to jump in a sport or to lift objects while bending the knees.
Hiring functional training equipment for commercial use is popular, although some equipment will need to large a space; a sled with sled track, a tractor tyre or a battle rope, for example.
Smaller equipment includes a step box, kettlebells, powerbag, suspension training kit, or a plyo box.
The latest trend in fitness has often involved functional training, as it is accessible to everyone and the kit is generally affordable.
On a small hire budget it is possible to hire several items for a month.
A total body workout is the aim, and since the range of functional training equipment is vast, rent of a different item every few weeks is quite possible.
Variety is key to keeping the workout interesting.
Functional training combines well with HiiT, and develops both the cardiovascular system and strength since it is anaerobic and aerobic depending on how it is performed.
In many schools and colleges, functional training has become a part of the pupil fitness schedule as it has been shown to enhance sporting performance, especially in rugby, football, hockey, martial arts and cricket.
