Cultural Tip
Functional training has surged in popularity across Spanish‑speaking countries, especially after the pandemic when many gyms closed. Home‑based workouts are common, but some neighborhoods have noise restrictions, so it’s polite to ask housemates or landlords before using equipment that might be loud. In Latin America, you’ll often hear “entrenar” used as a verb instead of “hacer entrenamiento”.
