Functional Fitness Coach, done properly — from anywhere in Tarawa
Functional fitness has been marketed into meaninglessness — wobble boards, circus moves, anything filmed sideways. Maddy's version is plainer and more useful: training the patterns your life actually bills you for. Squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, and get up off the floor — programmed progressively, loaded sensibly, and tested against real-world markers like carrying a full suitcase upstairs without drama or getting off the ground without using furniture. The programming looks unglamorous because honest training is: goblet squats, deadlift patterns, presses, rows, weighted carries, and ground-to-standing work, progressed week over week from your Body Scan starting point. Conditioning is built in at moderate, repeatable intensities rather than weekly heroics. Check-ins track the loads and the life markers together, because the point of this training is not the gym — it is everything after you leave it.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Built on life's patterns: squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, and getting up off the floor.
- Progressive loading on unglamorous, proven movements — goblet squats, rows, presses, weighted carries.
- Real-world markers tracked alongside gym numbers: stairs, suitcases, floor-to-standing.
- Conditioning at moderate, repeatable intensities — capacity you can use daily, not weekly heroics.
- Programmed from your Body Scan and progressed from your logs, like all honest training.
Who this is for:
- Adults who care less about mirror muscles and more about carrying, climbing, and keeping up.
- Anyone whose strength currently lives in the gym and abandons them at the airport.

Common questions
What actually makes training "functional"?
Carryover. Training is functional when it improves the patterns life uses — squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, carrying, getting off the floor. By that test a loaded carry is deeply functional and most balance-board tricks are not.
How is this different from crossfit-style conditioning?
Intensity philosophy. Crossfit-style training chases high-intensity mixed workouts with a scoreboard; functional fitness coaching runs moderate, repeatable intensities aimed at everyday capacity. Same movement families, very different weekly experience.
Do I need special equipment for functional training?
No. A pair of dumbbells or kettlebells covers most of the programme, and a basic gym covers all of it. The most functional piece of equipment in the plan is a heavy thing you pick up and carry — most homes already own one.
Does Maddy coach in Tarawa?
Yes — online. FitnessByMaddy has no training centre in Tarawa; functional-fitness clients in Tarawa train at home or in local gyms on a written programme, with weekly check-ins and live classes in Tarawa's local time.
