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 of the latest trends in fitness have been in functional training equipment.

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 home use is popular, although some equipment will need to large a space for the house; a sled with sled track for example.      

Smaller equipment more suited to home hire includes a step box, kettlebells, powerbag, suspension training kit, plyo box and battle rope.

The latest trend in fitness has often involved functional training, as it is accessible to everyone and the kit is generally affordable.

On a budget of £200 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.
