What does Functional Strength Training mean to me?

"Functional Strength means that at almost 40 years old, I can still compete with athletes half my age and hold my own! It means I have no problem playing with my kids while other parents have to watch from the sidelines. Functional Strength Training means that I have had the opportunity to help countless people achieve fitness and health goals they didn't think were possible. Functional Strength Training has given me the privilege to know, work with, and become friends with some of the greatest people you will find. Functional Strength has given me a life that most people dream of - not because of fortune or glory, but to be able to truly LIVE!"
