Functional Training & Corrective Exercise in Tbilisi — Gymnasia SPRI
Functional Training at Gymnasia SPRI
Functional Training at SPRI is not a generic fitness class — it is a clinically supervised, individualized exercise program designed to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and full athletic performance. Whether you are recovering from injury, correcting movement dysfunction, or building a stronger foundation for your sport, our specialists design exercise protocols based on your specific assessment data.
This program operates at the intersection of physical therapy and performance training, offering a level of precision and clinical oversight that standard gym training cannot provide.
What is SPRI Functional Training?
SPRI Functional Training is corrective, progressive exercise programming created and supervised by rehabilitation and exercise specialists. It differs from regular functional fitness classes in several important ways:
- Assessment-Driven — Every program begins with a thorough movement assessment. We identify compensations, imbalances, and areas of risk before prescribing any exercise
- Clinically Supervised — Sessions are guided by professionals with clinical rehabilitation backgrounds, not general fitness instructors
- Individualized Protocols — Your program is built specifically for your body, your injury history, and your performance goals
- Progressive Structure — Systematic progression from basic corrective patterns through to sport-specific performance movements
Who Should Consider Functional Training?
- Post-Rehabilitation Athletes — You have completed physical therapy but are not yet ready for full training intensity. Functional training provides the supervised transition phase
- Athletes with Movement Dysfunction — Compensatory patterns, asymmetries, or chronic tightness that limit performance or increase injury risk
- Injury Prevention — Proactive screening and corrective exercise to address vulnerabilities before they become injuries
- Return-to-Sport Programs — Structured, criteria-based progression from recovery to competition readiness
- Anyone Seeking Movement Quality — Better posture, improved mobility, reduced pain during daily activities
What to Expect
- Initial Assessment — Functional Movement Screen (FMS) or equivalent evaluation to identify movement quality, asymmetries, and areas requiring attention
- Program Design — Your specialist creates a personalized exercise protocol targeting identified deficits
- Supervised Sessions — Work through your program under clinical supervision with real-time form correction
- Progressive Loading — Gradual increase in complexity, load, and sport-specificity as your movement quality improves
- Reassessment — Regular re-evaluation to track progress and adjust programming

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as a regular functional fitness class?
No. SPRI Functional Training is clinically supervised, individually programmed, and assessment-driven. It is designed for people with specific rehabilitation or corrective needs, not as a group fitness format.
How long is each session?
Sessions are typically 45-60 minutes, depending on your program.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed, but we recommend starting with an FPT or movement assessment so your program is based on objective data.
Can I combine this with my regular training?
Yes. Functional training is designed to complement your sport-specific training, filling gaps in movement quality and addressing injury risk factors.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your starting point and goals. Some athletes need 4-6 sessions to address a specific issue; others benefit from ongoing supervised programming throughout a training cycle.
Can I get functional training if I am not a Gymnasia member?
Yes. SPRI services are open to everyone.
