Functional training (resistance training\/muscle strengthening) is a method that combines bodyweight exercises with external resistance.<\/p>

This is achieved primarily through circuit training programs, as well as alternating sets of exercises, often maintaining a high level of intensity. The goals of this training are muscle hypertrophy, improvement of cardiovascular and muscular endurance, enhanced joint mobility, and better bodily functionality through neuromuscular coordination.<\/p>

By participating in these workouts, trainees improve their ability to lift, push, and pull objects with greater ease and safety, gain better body control, and perform both simple and complex motor skills in daily life! The class is open to people of all ages and “fitness levels”.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Anastasis Prokopiou was born in 2002 in Athens and graduated in 2026 from the School of Physical Education and Sport Science of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA). He focuses primarily on exercise as a means of injury prevention\/rehabilitation, disease healing, and maintaining body functionality, completing his specialisation in “Exercise-Health-Wellness” as well as “Weightlifting”.<\/p>

While still a student (2022-2023), he chose to move to the University of Rome (Foro Italico), where he attended part of his studies and experienced different methods regarding exercise. In 2025, he returned to his beloved Italy, specifically Milan, to complete a 3-month internship at a rehabilitation center. In Greece, he has also worked in rehabilitation centers, gyms, primary and secondary schools, and sports camps.<\/p>

For Anastasis, exercise and movement in general are not just a hobby separate from daily life, but an inextricably linked part of it, a conscious way of living. Their primary, and perhaps sole, purpose is the mental, cognitive, and emotional uplift and evolution of every individual. The physical benefits will inevitably appear from the very first minutes!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
