I meant functional strength training in regards to getting results (usually aesthetic) while teaching a movement that is useful for everyday life (squatting to pick up a child or heavy box). You can get aesthetic results throwing them on a leg press, leg extension and leg curl machine, but who needs a trainer for that?
I had a training session with someone that wanted "sports specific" training for competitive volleyball and tennis, but didn't want to do any of the functional things that are sports specific. The person wanted to do a lot of useless busy work to get tired and feel like she's training for her sport....I can't accept that client.
