Preciso de experiência para começar?

Não. A aula é a mesma para toda a gente, o que muda é a carga. No primeiro dia o treinador ajusta tudo ao que consegues fazer hoje.

A que horas são as aulas de Functional Bodybuilding?

Terças e quintas às 18:45. Marcas pela aplicação, como qualquer outra aula.

Preciso de um plano especial?

Não. O Functional Bodybuilding está incluído nos planos normais, tal como o halterofilismo. Com um plano ativo escolhes as aulas que quiseres, sem pagar nada à parte.

Qual é a diferença entre isto e a musculação de um ginásio normal?

Num ginásio tradicional treinas músculos isolados, quase sempre sentado numa máquina. Aqui treinas movimentos, de pé, com barra e halteres, e há sempre alguém a corrigir-te. O músculo cresce à mesma, mas ficas a mexer-te melhor em vez de pior.

E a diferença para o CrossFit?

O CrossFit trabalha muito o lado metabólico, com intensidade e relógio. O Functional Bodybuilding foca-se na força e na hipertrofia, com descanso a sério entre séries. Muita gente faz os dois, e complementam-se bem.

Posso fazer só Functional Bodybuilding?

Podes. Com um plano ativo escolhes as aulas que quiseres.

Vou ficar com um corpo volumoso?

Ganhar massa muscular é lento e depende de treinar e comer com esse objetivo. O que acontece à maioria das pessoas é ficarem mais fortes e com melhor composição corporal, não maiores.

Isto serve para perder peso?

Serve, e melhor do que se pensa. Mais massa muscular significa gastar mais energia em repouso. O treino de força é a parte que quase toda a gente ignora quando quer emagrecer.

Quanto tempo até ver resultados?

Nas primeiras semanas notas a técnica e a coordenação. Alterações visíveis na composição corporal levam tipicamente dois a três meses de treino regular.

Tenho mais de 50 anos. Posso?

Pode e deve. Manter massa muscular depois dos 40 é das coisas com mais impacto na saúde a longo prazo. Temos alunos até aos 89 anos.

Qualquer um dos nossos treinadores. É a mesma equipa técnica que dá o CrossFit e o HYROX.

Posso experimentar antes de me inscrever?

Podes, e é gratuito. Marcas uma aula, vens, treinas, e decides depois.

Why train Functional Bodybuilding at Revolution Fitness

You never train alone

Every class has a coach. It's not a printed plan handed to you at the door, it's someone watching every rep you do and correcting you.

The load is yours, the class is the same

Someone starting today and someone who's trained for three years do the same workout, with different weights. You don't have to wait until you're fit to start.

Your progress is recorded

You know what you lifted three months ago and what you lift today. Without that, strength training is going round in circles.

700 m² and proper equipment

Twelve men's bars, twelve women's, dumbbells up to 35 kg, twenty pull-up stations, platforms and racks. You won't be left waiting for equipment.

What a class is like

It is a class of its own, lasting 45 minutes. The structure is different from a CrossFit class, and that is on purpose:

Specific warm-up, prepared for that day's movements, not a generic warm-up.
Main strength work, with set sets and reps and proper rest between sets. This is where muscle gets built.
Accessory work, the part most gyms ignore: the stabilising muscles, the single-sided movements, the work that fixes your weaker side.
Mobility at the end, so you keep the range that strength can take away.

No beeping timer and no racing the clock. It's a different kind of training.

Functional Bodybuilding is for you if

You want to build muscle without giving up moving well
You come from traditional bodybuilding and feel you got strong but stiff
You do CrossFit and want a strength base that unlocks your movements
You've had an injury and need to rebuild in a controlled way
You don't like training against the clock, but you want real results

And it's for you even if you've never picked up a barbell. The first day is always somebody's first day.

Functional Bodybuilding FAQs

Do I need experience to start?

No. The class is the same for everyone, what changes is the load. On your first day the coach adjusts everything to what you can do today.

What time are the Functional Bodybuilding classes?

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 18:45. You book through the app, like any other class.

Do I need a special plan?

No. Functional Bodybuilding is included in the standard plans, just like weightlifting. With an active plan you choose whichever classes you want, without paying anything extra.

What's the difference between this and weight training at a regular gym?

In a traditional gym you train isolated muscles, almost always sitting on a machine. Here you train movements, standing up, with barbells and dumbbells, and there's always someone correcting you. Your muscles still grow, but you end up moving better instead of worse.

And how is it different from CrossFit?

CrossFit works the metabolic side hard, with intensity and the clock. Functional Bodybuilding focuses on strength and hypertrophy, with proper rest between sets. Plenty of people do both, and they complement each other well.

Can I do just Functional Bodybuilding?

You can. With an active plan you choose whichever classes you like.

Will I end up bulky?

Building muscle mass is slow and depends on training and eating with that goal in mind. What happens to most people is that they get stronger and improve their body composition, not bigger.

Does this help with weight loss?

It helps, and more than people think. More muscle mass means burning more energy at rest. Strength training is the part almost everyone ignores when they want to lose weight.

How long until I see results?

In the first few weeks you notice technique and coordination improving. Visible changes in body composition typically take two to three months of regular training.

I'm over 50. Can I?

You can and you should. Keeping muscle mass after 40 is one of the things with the biggest long-term impact on your health. We have members up to 89 years old.

Who teaches the classes?

Any of our coaches. It's the same coaching team that runs CrossFit and HYROX.

Can I try before I sign up?

You can, and it's free. Book a class, come along, train, and decide afterwards.
