GB Functional Fitness

Welcome to GB Functional Fitness, the fitness channel from Glen Baggerly, certified personal trainer (NASM and ACE). If Glen looks familiar to you, perhaps you remember him as the original Bowflex guy, who featured in the first Bowflex infomercials from 1998 to 2002.

But Glen's interest in fitness and body-building pre-date that time – and he has continued to maintain superb condition over the last 25 years. 

But what exactly is functional fitness? It's training to duplicate the moves you use in everyday life during your workouts, i.e. pushing, pulling, squatting, pressing and more. The workouts are designed to enhance your strength, endurance, co-ordination, balance, stability, and agility, focusing on FORM and POSTURE before function. Find examples of the workouts here along with include tips on workouts, nutrition, stretching, and a few good old stories too!
