About Us
“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”
-Abraham Lincoln
Our story
We believe that every individual has value, at every age! Unfortunately, ageism in our culture can sometimes imply that we lose value over time; that we somehow contribute less to society.
When you are healthy, you are the best version of yourself! This helps beat the negative stereotypes of aging, and positively affect everyone around you, especially the ones you love most!
We want to help you be your best! There are many things in this life that compete for our time. It can be a great challenge to make healthy choices a daily priority. Our role at Functional Fitness has been developed to do our part to make it as easy as possible for our clients to improve their physical fitness. We strive to limit or remove barriers like affordability, tight schedule, limited knowledge, and concerns about safety and injuries. We want healthy choices to be easy.

Transforming our community
At Functional Fitness Orillia, we provide you with training, support, and education in your fitness program. Everyone has a different journey and we customize a program for your specific goals and needs. We get excited about positive change and love to see encouragement within our thriving and healthy community.
The journey philosophy
Images that we commonly see through fitness marketing illustrate that performance-based fitness is the optimal goal. While that can be true for some, the majority of us are not training for competition or even have athleticism in mind. We are simply wanting to get through each day moving pain-free, able to do our daily chores and with energy to spare.
The term ‘functional fitness’ actually means exercises that train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work, or in sports. At Functional Fitness Orillia, individual programs are designed to include safe and gentle movements that improve your strength, endurance, flexibility, posture, and balance. Make no mistake, the goal is to improve your quality of movement and your overall level of fitness, but we can achieve this without pain or strain.
