While weight training builds muscle mass, functional fitness ensures that strength translates into real-world performance. Many fitness centers, including popular chains such as Crunch Fitness and Planet Fitness, tend to treat these as separate disciplines. At CrossFit Golden Valkyrie, we merge these approaches seamlessly. Our programming includes compound lifts, plyometrics, and dynamic movements, providing strength gains alongside improved balance, mobility, and endurance. This synergy results in a more balanced, powerful, and injury-resistant body.
