56 reviews for Functional Strength 101
This introductory gym guide will get you familiar with basic functional movement patterns and gym equipment. While the program is geared toward beginners, it's easily adaptable to all levels by simply increasing the weight of your lifts.
Be sure to watch Justina's YouTube video about the program here!

This is the first time in probably a decade that I have consistently gone to the gym and focused on strength. I’ve Justina for several years on YouTube and instagram. This program made it fun to go to the gym and paved a path for learning new exercises and how to use various equipment around the gym for functional strength gains. Absolutely loved using this program!

This was a nice and easy, manageable program that I could do while pregnant.

It has the appropriate warm up before the strength training. Very good for beginners. Doable.

I would truly recommend the program to anyone who wants to see results in a relatively short amount of time and who already has some experience. One does need proper equipment, obviously. But the program let me witness progress with each workout I did. And I remained motivated throughout because the range of exercises and difficulty was perfect (I mean I never thought about switching to another programme)

The program serves as a great introduction for getting back into weightlifting. It strengthens functional muscles that will be used in more complex lifts and helps you prevent injury in the process. A good program that helps you focus on form instead of raw output.

I love this workout regime. I had top surgery in December and this was the perfect way to get back to my training goals again and even excel where I was at beforehand. I'm a busy person but this plan is so manageable and I always get something out of it.

I made modifications to convert machine exercises to dumbbells. I would recommend this to friends who like me, might need guidance on a health focused routine. I believe this routine was well rounded.

This is my first program (and really my first gym workout experience) and I have really liked it! It has increased my confidence in the gym by tenfold! I feel stronger and more capable.
