Are you thinking about getting in shape but don’t know whether to choose a conventional gym or try something more dynamic like functional training? At Redfield T&F, we explain the key differences to help you make the best decision based on your goals, fitness level, and lifestyle. Although both spaces are designed to improve your health, the methods, environment, and results can be very different.
Guided training vs. free training
In a traditional gym, you typically arrive at the space with your own goals and decide which machines to use, how many reps to do, and in what order. Although you can follow a routine, the execution and follow-through are up to you. In contrast, with functional training, each session is guided by a professional coach. They’re responsible for planning the day’s workout, correcting your technique, and adjusting the exercises to your level. You don’t need to think about what to do: you train, we take care of the rest.
Atmosphere and Community
One of the great differentiators of functional training is the sense of community. At Redfield T&F, you don’t train alone. You share the session with a group of people who support you, encourage you, and strive with you. This creates a motivating environment, where every achievement is celebrated and where it’s easier to be consistent. Camaraderie is key in high-intensity disciplines and hybrid training.
Real and Measurable Results
Functional training isn’t just designed to “look good.” Its purpose is to improve your daily performance: more strength, greater endurance, agility, power, and body control. Here, we measure your progress and help you surpass your own limits. It’s not about isolating muscles, but rather about moving better and stronger as a whole.
Which option is best for you?
If you’re looking for a space where you feel supported, motivated, and with a clear structure for each session, functional training is for you. At Redfield T&F, we’ll be with you from day one, whether you’re starting from scratch or are already coming from another discipline. Forget monotonous routines and static machines: enter a complete, dynamic, and effective training system. Discover it for yourself!
