Functional Training
Functional Training — Exercises that mimic real-world or sport-specific movement patterns using multiple joints and planes of motion. HYROX® stations are essentially functional fitness tests.
Definition and limits
Functional training is a broad, context-dependent label. A 2025 international consensus described it as physical intervention intended to improve human performance for individual goals in sport, daily life, rehabilitation or fitness while considering task specificity and individual responsiveness. The same paper noted that the term may overlap with training generally.
