Functional Training

A new functional style of training has been created, and is now open to the public to increase athletic performance, as well as increase fitness levels for all gym goers.

Strength & Conditioning Coach Mark Wine created an original method of training that involves Olympic lifting, functional lifting, specific sport movements through body mechanics analysis in each sport, speed and agility training, as well as the most insane hardcore training to push each athlete / fitness enthusiast to their limit.

Functional Muscle Fitness LLC created a group class schedule to ensure that everyone in the greater area can gain access to elite training at a more affordable rate; pay for personal training for one full month at the price rate of one industry standard training session.
Group classes like "Spin and Core," "PAAS Athletic Training," "Tactical Workout - MMA, Military," "Fighter Training," "Boot Camp," "Get Lean and Fat Loss," and many many more ensure that every member, whether elite or beginner athletes, or novice to advanced fitness enthusiasts, become the best athlete to his / her abilities.

Mark feels that balancing between a high intensity fast paced, heavy strength, and explosive power movements is the best way to achieve optimal results.

"People always seem to gravitate to machines and other boring gym exercises to achieve results. The problem is created through the ease of the motion and lack of creativity. My goal was to create an old school mentality where everyone who is a member feels like a part of the facility. They work out together, whether it is during classes or during open gym hours. They come in and they always have a workout to choose from so they get the chance to stay motivated to workout, as well as never become bored doing it."

Mark Wine lives and breathes athletic performance / fitness. He trains with the majority of the classes while helping to motivate each individual to push their limit. Having the chance to be involved with the Strength and Conditioning staff of the Oakland Raiders, as well as running his own strength and conditioning programs for local sports teams, Mark has a great grasp on how to push every type of individual and create the most original workouts to achieve superior results.
