There is a huge gap in the industry. People have become so focused on training for how we look that we've forgotten about how we function. Even among those who claim to train function (e.g. strength, flexibility or cardiac output) these methods don't transfer well to real applications—especially in isolation.

Take a powerlifter and ask them to use all the strength they've built to balance a handstand. Take a crossfitter and ask them to use their work capacity to learn a sequence of new movements in a contemporary dance class. Take a yogi and ask them to use all their flexibility in a grappling context. Take a bodybuilder and ask them to do, well, anything (sorry guys ;) ). You'll find the same thing over and over in all of these scenario's and countless more: isolated training does not produce general adaptation.

For those who specialize in becoming professional athletes, whose salary and livelihood depends on adding 2 kg to their snatch or running 100 m just a tenth of a second faster—I get it. But for the rest of us, there is a better way.
