The functional fitness workout offers you a varied and highly intensive full-body fitness workout in which you learn different exercises and techniques in detail.
These are very varied and include both strength and endurance, take place with a wide range of equipment (barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, own body weight, rowing/bike/ski ergometer, etc.) and include elements from various sports such as gymnastics, Olympic weightlifting, endurance or powerlifting.
All of this is then combined into functional fitness workouts that challenge you every time and really make you sweat.
The course is ideal for anyone who likes to train in small groups (max. 10 participants) in a varied way and wants to get to know or redefine their own limits.

Please note: The entry requirements for participation in the Functional Fitness Advanced courses are: a basic understanding of most of the exercises from gymnastics and Olympic weightlifting (repositioning and pushing out as well as snatching), rowing on a rowing ergometer as well as squats and deadlifts. For this reason, registration for the Functional Fitness Advanced courses is only possible after a recommendation from the trainers. To do this, you must attend the Basic course and the trainers will then let us know whether you meet the physical requirements and then we will put you on a list that will then allow you to book the Advanced course.

Please note: Out of fairness to other interested persons, we ask you to cancel your place in the course early if you cannot attend. You can cancel your registration via the release link in your booking confirmation or by sending an email to sport@uni-mannheim.de at least 30 minutes before the course starts. In case of repeated non-attendance without cancellation, a fee of 5,00 Euro will be charged.

We kindly ask you to arrive punctually at the respective starting times of the sports lessons. The trainer is entitled to refuse participation on this day for professional and health reasons in the event of lateness.
