Functional Fitness in Arlington & Belmont, MA

Functional Fitness

‍

A new class for adults 40+ who want to stay active, strong, and capable—without the pressure of high-intensity workouts or the boredom of gym machines.

This class is designed for people who want to keep doing the things they love, without feeling like their body is holding them back. It’s about training smart, building resilience, and feeling better in your day-to-day life.

Rooted in the concept of kaizen, or continuous improvement, each session focuses on small, consistent progress that adds up over time. No crash programs. No burnout. Just movement that supports a long, healthy life.

‍Functional Fitness is not a martial arts program. While it's offeed through Kaizen Karate &Martial Arts, this is not a karate class adapted for fitness, like kickboxing, Tae Bo, or martial arts cardio. There are no strikes, forms, or sparring.

‍

What to Expect:

• Low-impact, full-body workouts
• Mobility-focused warmups
• Functional strength using bodyweight and light equipment
• Stretching and recovery work to support joint health
• Options for all fitness levels, including those with past injuries
• A supportive, coach-led environment that meets you where you are

Who It’s For:

• Adults 40 to 65+ who want to stay fit without getting beat up
• Anyone who’s feeling stiffer or slower than they used to
• People who are done with gyms, treadmills, or workouts that feel like punishment
• Those who want a smarter, more sustainable approach to fitness

You don’t need to be in great shape to start. You just need to be ready to take care of yourself in a new way.
