Become a Better Trainer
Nobody does functional training for older adults better than FAI. The core of the FAI approach is the FUNCTIONAL AGING Training Model (FATM) which is built around the widely recognized theory of function called the Modified Disablement Model (used by the World Health Organization). We add to this the latest scientific evidence and our 20+ years of experience with adults of all abilities to create a safe and effective training methodology.
