Think of it like this: Training hard is showing up, putting in the time and effort—you’re focused and dialled in both physically and mentally.

Training smart means you’re being strategic about it; you’re moving optimally, taking care of your body, resting between sessions, taking care of your mental health and fuelling your body pre and post workout.

Are you doing both?

❄️ ICE BATH ❄️

Also called as “Cold Water Immersion”

Engaging in cold exposure can be viewed as a training regimen for both the body and mind, promoting overall health and cellular strength through repeated exposure to stressors.

Submerging yourself in an ice-cold bath for a set amount of time, typically at temperatures around 5-10 degrees celsius, can offer various health benefits.

The release of noradrenaline during cold exposure not only activates brown fat but also enhances metabolic rate, showcasing the interconnectedness of hormonal and metabolic responses to environmental stressors.

❄️ Cold receptors in the skin rapidly signal the hypothalamus.
🧠 The brain releases noradrenaline, activating brown fat.
🔥 Brown fat helps regulate body temperature, preventing hypothermia and hyperthermia.

Send us this reel with the word “ICE 🧊” and we’ll let you know how to book the ice bath and experience all of its benefits at FUNC.

You can also learn about cold exposure, your nervous system and breath work at the upcoming Peak and Flow’s immersion in Kangaroo Valley. 🦘 🏔️

From our world class coaches to our intelligent programming...

From the doggos you can pat to the opportunities to opt in for further growth and development.....

There's no one else that does what we do.

It might not sound sexy, but we're more than just a gym.

Let us show you why.

The functional training philosophy is pretty simple. We train the body the way it’s designed to move – as a fluid whole unit.

We see movement as an intelligence to develop rather than a technique to simply get right or wrong.

Humans are built to adapt. Unfortunately that means we can also learn bad habits.

Our training system addresses your movement patterns and encourages a return to what is natural and efficient.

Want to see if is for you? Contact us to join our FREE Intro Session next Tuesday from 5.30pm-7.30pm!

Our Story

Functional Fitness is not your usual gym. We like oneness, not separation in all things that we do.

For example:

We think the body trains, performs and functions better when it works as a whole, so that's how we train it - to work as one unit. Not like normal gyms that have a bazillion machines designed to isolate every muscle in your body.

We also think that whole-foods are much better for you than processed things. Things like vegetables, fruit, meats, nuts, eggs - basically if it was ever alive or had a mother, we say go for it. If man has manipulated it or changed it or broken it down to make into something else, probably don't eat it. Other gyms don't really talk about food at all, but we believe without it in the equation, you're not going to see the whole picture.

Also, most gyms success depends a large percentage of their clients never showing up. Functional Fitness is only successful if all of our clients always show up. We train as teams and we have a culture and support network second to none.

So, if you have a body, you eat and you like other humans, we're the gym for you.
