The Functional Fitness Matrix
Functional fitness trains your body to work the way it’s meant to by addressing imbalances, releasing trigger points and tension, and strengthening the muscles you rely on most. It’s not just about looking fit; it’s about feeling strong, moving freely, and living pain-free no matter your age.
Moves that Ease Back and Shoulder Pain-Get Back to What You Love
Aches and pains in your back, hip, neck, knees and shoulders can sneak in over time—especially with long hours of sitting, poor posture, and everyday habits like crossing your legs or leaning to one side. Before you know it, things like playing golf, tennis, or pickleball—or even picking up boxes or tying your shoes—feel harder than they should.
And while you’re trying to stay active, your workouts may not be giving you the results you want. In fact, the wrong exercises (or too much of the wrong thing) can actually make the pain worse.
That’s why focusing on functional fitness—training your body to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free so you can keep doing what you love from your 30s, 40s, and beyond, all the way to 100 and beyond—is so important.
Have all your efforts to alleviate back pain been a whopping failure?
I Did It and So Can You
When I was a kid, to say I was a couch potato is an understatement. I couldn’t run around the block to save my life. I was always the last one picked for sports, and I was tired all the time.
Fast forward to today…I’m 63 but I feel 30.
I trained for and competed in a 15K race just a few years ago. Wearing a bathing suit at a pool party? I don’t give it a second thought. High-school me would never believe it.
Now, I want to share with you the exact tools and tricks I use to feel young and pain-free. It’s easier than you think to ditch that aching back.
Even if you’re starting from zero like I was.

“I’ve been working with Marilyn at Functional Fitness Guru for 4 months and I’ve lost 24 pounds and almost back to my ideal weight. I was a yo-yo dieter and weekend athlete all my life and it wasn’t until I started with FFG that I learned how to eat and incorporate exercise into a doable routine.
I had chronic back pain off and on for the last 10 years but it turned out that it was lifestyle related. She gave me daily stretches and I haven’t had any pain since we started and I am getting ready to start yoga again.
It was a lot of work, but Marilyn’s gradual approach and 10 percent cheat rule makes her program something I can live with.
Thank you Marilyn, you are compassionate, caring and tenacious!” – Mitchell Brooks
