What Funkshirlnal Fitness is all about.
Founded by Shirley Blackmore in 2012, Funkshirlnal Fitness is dedicated to helping clients improve their well-being, functionality and ability to enjoy daily life. Shirley believes that a holistic approach to wellness can help reprogram both your physiology and psychology to ensure your fitness, health and life goals are achieved and sustained.
Funkshirlnal Fitness started in response to seeing people struggle with fitness classes that didn’t suit their needs and didn’t improve their overall health and movement. It’s not about the size of the weights. It’s not about whether the dance moves look like they are from a video hit. Funkshirlnal Fitness is about moving and strengthening our bodies so they can support us in daily life for years to come. And it all takes place in a supportive, fun environment where you can be yourself!
