Functional Patterns Reviews 

Saw some of the negative reviews and I thought I should give a little more insight for people looking to get out of pain.

1. I started fp a few months after giving birth to my first baby. Through my time pregnant I suffered from some pretty intense si joint pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, low back pain…etc all on my right side. For the first month I focused specifically on the myofascial rolling and after about 4 weeks I felt the biggest “pop” and relief in my leg and hip that I had felt in a few years! That being said, I found out I was pregnant again and stopped which in return brought the pain back. But I plan to incorporate fp back into my routine once I’m cleared by the doctor.
2. You pay for one year of access before having to renew. I knew this going in but when you break down the cost per month it was significantly less than what most fitness apps are charging so it didn’t bother me. I think the goal is for you to take it seriously and not just sit on your membership for a year and do nothing. Plus by the time the years up, if you’re consistent, you should have a pretty good grasp of the basics and be able to do them without the tutorials. Just my two cents there.
3. I’ve see a lot of the negative reviews revolve around the attitude of fp on social. Personally that doesn’t bother me but I could see how it could rub someone wrong. From a functional standpoint and talking to a few physical therapist about too much flexibility, I get where fp is coming from. I still do yoga, I still do Pilates, I still lift weights, but I do take some concepts from fp.

Basically, if you want some more understanding of your body and how it functions while improving posture and gaining more awareness of what your body is doing in space, I’d recommend it. If you’re looking for a quick fix for your pain, you should just go to physical therapy.

FP is more of a commitment and a lifestyle way of exercise so if you’re not into it then this is probably not for you :)

This training system got me out of pain after years of injuries from sports and weight training

Helped me get out of chronic pain when physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractor, massage therapy, and yoga didn’t work. Their program is easy to follow and you can save videos within the app to access easily later. You can also do it from home with minimal equipment.

My only complain about the online course is that it had so much information in it that a single year access is not enough to fully digest it. The quality of the content is staggering. Can’t wait for more courses to be release.

I trained most of my life doing martial arts, and competed in boxing and muay thai. All the hard training and abuse of my body came to a head when I got to about 30 years old. Amongst other injuries I had a bulging disc in my neck which stopped me doing most of the training I was doing at the time. After seeing a chiropractor for 3 months, it worsened. I tried Physio, myo therapy, remedial massage and the list goes on. Eventually I found Functional Patterns and did a Human Foundations course which the entry level one open to anyone who completes the ten week online program. On the first week of the course I felt major changes in my structure and it lead to having consistent pain free days since then. I’m 41 now and can still box, in fact my mechanics have improved to the point I can absorb punches and throw with more mechanical efficiency so i don’t need to do all that cardio. Nothing else worked, Functional Patterns did. It’s been life changing to say the very least. Highly recommend.

After a hip replacement/hip dysplasia I achieved more with 10 weeks of FP than I did with 12 months of physiotherapy

The Functional Patterns method helped me recover from my herniated discs. Also it gave me the framework to prevent it in the future. I am currently moving better than when I was doing high level martial arts and can definitely recommend anyone to try it out.

Functional Patterns resolved my chronic back pain. I had so much pain due to scoliosis and other injuries. This is the best methodology out there when it comes to pain relief and injury prevention!

Functional Patterns is the best training methodology I’ve ever encountered. When I started in 2018, I had severe knee pain, but through strictly following Functional Patterns, I was able to move out of pain and now move better than ever before. As a professional athlete, it has greatly benefited my career, helping me prolong it at 33, with many good years still ahead. I genuinely recommend Functional Patterns for anyone looking to live pain-free and achieve peak health. It’s an unparalleled system where progress never plateaus, allowing you to keep advancing without limits.

After trying countless forms of therapy and exercise and still dealing with chronic pain, I decided to give FP a try. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was intrigued by its holistic approach to biomechanics and movement efficiency..

What sets FP apart from other fitness programs is its focus on real-world movements like standing, walking, running, and throwing. Unlike traditional gym routines that isolate muscles, FP emphasizes functional, full-body exercises that mimic daily activities. This made the training feel incredibly relevant, not just for fitness but for improving my everyday life.

One of the biggest benefits I noticed was pain relief. FP doesn’t just help you get stronger; it focuses on correcting your posture and movement patterns, which has done wonders for my pain. After just a few weeks, I could feel my body moving more efficiently, and tasks that used to strain me, like carrying groceries, became easier.

Another surprising aspect of FP is how adaptable it is. The exercises can be scaled for different fitness levels, making it accessible for everyone, from athletes to those recovering from injury or suffering from chronic pain. I was initially worried it would be too intense, but the program is structured in a way that allows you to progress at your own pace while still getting an effective workout.

The full-body engagement also means that even though the workouts aren’t traditional cardio or heavy lifting, they’re still incredibly intense. I found myself sweating and feeling challenged without the need for high-impact exercises that wear down my joints.

Overall, FP has been a game-changer for me. Whether you're looking to improve athletic performance, manage pain, or simply move better in your daily life, this program delivers results that last.

Functional Patterns changed my life. From chronic back, knee and shoulder pain to being pain free has been a life changing experience. This journey has been so valuable not only for myself but for my business (Personal trainer). Completed Human Foundations last year and look forward to HBS1 in 2025.

Amazing training system
Helped me to get rid of pain in my back right hip and shoulder
It helped me especially after my shoulder surgery and now my shoulder is functioning better than before my injury!
Highly recommend their 10 week online course and training system together with training in person with a practitioner

Functional Patterns gave me a hope in fixing the problems I had with my body. This included lumbar herniation, hiatal hernia, and sciatica as well as many other symptoms from traditional weight lifting.

FP taught me how to lift weights and build muscle in a way that didn’t compress my joints.

Can’t thank these guys enough.

For many years, I was passionate about hitting the gym and exploring a variety of exercise programs, including HIIT, CrossFit, Pilates, yoga, and strength training. I consistently pushed myself to excel, often ranking among the top performers in my classes. However, I gradually began to notice the toll this took on my body, leading to persistent knee pain and lower back discomfort.

A few years ago, I recognized the need for a program that would not only strengthen my body but also help correct my posture. I sought out various professionals, including chiropractors, physical therapists, and personal trainers, but none offered a comprehensive solution that fully addressed my needs.

Then I discovered Functional Patterns (FP), and it was a revelation. Their philosophies aligned perfectly with what I had been searching for, and I was thrilled to find a local gym in my city. After practicing FP methods for some time now, the results have been remarkable.

Not only am I getting stronger, but I'm also gaining a deeper understanding of my body and its functions. Our Atlanta location is flourishing, and we've built a wonderful community around FP. This program is truly transforming the fitness industry, and I couldn't be happier with my journey.

Got out of chronic pain, which I had suffered for 8 years. And tried everything, and I mean everything previously.

I was checking FP throughly before I finally decided to buy 10week online course. At first, I wanted to rush in and do everything at the same time. Once you get through the program you discover that it all makes sense and that it would be great to start all over again. So many valuable informations.
I have shoulder, neck, hip problem and 10 week online was just a beginning for me. I started to see a practitioner who is giving me great tips how to improve myself even better. I see a lot of improvment in understanding my body and movement in general and I don't think my journey with FP will stop there.

The absolute most body friendly way of excercising! Have solved a lot of my problems and given me long lasting inspiration due to all the variations applicable.

I've had a great experience personally. I use it to address imbalances and have not needed a massage since buying the 10-week online course. Making my way through FTS and also working with a brilliant practitioner in Rayleigh (Essex Biomechanics) who are great for people who want to be studenta of biomechanics and learn more about how to keep their bodies healthy. Whenever I get in pain I have a way of getting back out again

Functional Patterns is hands down the best fitness, and life, system on the planet. As a trainer I’ve used it to fix my client’s pain, posture, and movement. Highly recommend everyone to get on FP!

I've given Functional Patterns a good go in that I've been following and practicing their techniques since 2017. I've always been athletic and worked out hard, I even competed at the D1 collegiate level in my sport so I've dabbled in all types of fitness styles. I also have a degree in exercise science. That said, I was in debilitating pain at the age of 19 that I struggled with for 5 years despite spending a lot of money on anything that seemed to make sense for pain relief. I wasted a lot of time on things that didn't work.

I started with the 10-week online course, worked with a practitioner (which was great), and ultimately decided to get certified myself. I got certified because after being promised a solution to my pain and lack of strength for years, this was the only thing that helped me. I am able to work out strenuously several days a week without any pain at the age of 30.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with the team at FP from day 1. If I had questions, they were answered in an efficient and professional way and everything I've learned has improved my life in a way that is indescribable.

My take on negative reviews here is that, yes - FP puts out criticism about different styles of fitness and this hurts peoples feelings. I've observed for years how the FP team deals with their follower base and when people ask questions from a genuine place of curiosity, they get answered. That said, there are certainly lots of trolls out their that don't like what FP is doing.

The reality is that what Functional Patterns is doing is remarkably effective and industry-disrupting, which comes with its challenges. I appreciate how the FP team has dealt with these challenges and continues to grow with the priority of demonstrating results and helping people from all walks of life get back to exercise when they are often at the end of their rope. Truly inspirational. I'm a customer for life.
