STRENGTH TRAINING
This type of exercise specializes in the use of resistance to build the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. When properly performed, strength training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being, including increased bone, muscle, tendon and ligament strength and toughness, improved joint function, reduced potential for injury, increased bone density, increased metabolism, improved cardiac function, elevated HDL cholesterol, improved brain power, better sleep and improved mental state. In addition, it keeps your body fit over time, helps build stamina and increases overall confidence.
ENDURANCE TRAINING
For trained athletes, part time fitness enthusiasts, and non-athletes alike, there is one muscle which is unarguably the most important in the body: the heart.

By doing some form of endurance training a few times a week you will be able to reap benefits such as increased stamina for everyday activities, improved balance and coordination, muscle growth stimulation, Osteoporosis prevention, improved bone density and strength, optimized immune system function and better blood flow.
FUNCTIONAL TRAINING
Exercises that train your muscles to work together, preparing them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports. Functional training uses muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, in addition to emphasizing core stability. This type of training, properly applied, can make everyday activities easier, help reduce your risk of injury and improve your quality of life. Functional exercise training may also improve balance, agility and muscle strength, as well as reduce the risk of falls.
BALANCE TRAINING
There are two types of balance - static and dynamic. Static balance is maintained when stationary, while dynamic balance is maintained when moving. Coordination is a complex skill that requires not only good balance, but good levels of other fitness components such as strength and agility. Balance and coordination can be improved through practice and training.
