This course is for athletes and coaches who are interested in learning about Functional Fitness programming, designed to supplement a coach’s basic knowledge by providing additional considerations and concepts that surround programming for functional fitness specifically.
Functional fitness is a classification of training that prepares the body for real-life movements and activities, by strengthening the muscles in the same way you would need to use them for certain tasks. Movements such as squatting, reaching, pulling and lifting are made easier with functional fitness integrated into an exercise routine.
The benefits of incorporating functional fitness into training programmes include training the same muscle movements you use in your daily life; it aids balance and coordination making different parts of your body move together smoothly and helps to prevent injury.

Hear from our community
I was new to strength training and didn’t really know where to start. The course gave me the confidence to get going and made strength training feel much less intimidating.”
I wanted to keep improving as a coach and make sure I was giving my clients the best I could. The Level 4 Strength & Conditioning qualification has really built my knowledge and confidence, and helped me stand out from other coaches.”
I joined a BWL club because I wanted to get better at lifting, but I’ve got so much more from it. The people are great, I’ve learnt loads and I actually look forward to going training. It feels like I’ve found my place.”
Being part of BWL gives our club a bit more weight. People recognise the name, and it gives our members a clear route into competitions and the wider lifting community. It’s good to know we’re not doing it on our own.”
Being on the pathway means I know I’m not doing this on my own. I’ve got a great team around me who know me, know what I’m capable of and push me when I need it. Having that support has given me the confidence to aim higher and see what I can really achieve.”
I feel really lucky to be part of BWL at such an exciting time. There’s a lot we want to achieve, and we’re definitely aiming high, but what motivates me is knowing that everything we do is about making the sports better for the people who love them. It feels like we’re all pulling in the same direction, and I’m proud to be part of it”
