I wish I could leave more stars! I’m a physical therapist and I highly recommend FP. This is about more than just getting stronger. It’s about restoring your body to move in a functional pain-free way...inside and outside of the gym. These guys are dialed in to your body’s specific needs, and are watchful and careful to make sure you move with precision and intention. Each exercise incorporates your whole body rather than isolated muscles. I feel stronger and more capable of moving in real-life activities than ever. It’s hard work, but worth it when you feel your whole body start to connect!

These guys are awesome. Non-intimidating, patient, intentional. I feel like I’m doing myself a favor for years-to-come by showing up here.Oh and my kids love it too! Richard has been working with my son for months on coordination and it’s one of his favorite weekly activities. And it’s not an easy hour!

This place is top notch, and the guys that train here are fantastic.  The trainers are way beyond their years in knowledge about the human body, and they have an amazing ability to work with/train anyone who is willing to work and learn.  My teenage son has very complicated health issues, and these guys treat him with love, respect, and incredible patience in the gym.  And they have a vision and goal for his health that few therapists have had.  My health and strength are dramatically improving as well, thanks to the FP training I am learning here.  Years of back pain and shoulder pain, honestly starting to disappear at age 50.  I am more than grateful for Functional Patterns South Carolina!

I had heard about functional patterns from a friend over a year ago before I finally made the decision to try something new for my horrible chronic back pain. Boy am I glad that I did! I had been reaching out for help for many years from many doctors, physical therapists and occupational therapists all across the nation to get out of pain just long enough to sit in a chair at a restaurant to have a nice dinner much less to do my job as a nail technician without being in excruciating pain. You know how it is when you’re hurting...everyone has advice and you get all kinds of information and recommendations coming at you from friends and loved ones trying to help :) yet nothing was helping :( I’ve spent thousands of dollars trying different chairs, buying new equipment to do my job...etc. Nothing was helping yet I was desperately seeking help. I am just two months in with these one hour sessions two times a week with Brandon and I have learned soooo much about what healthy movement of the body feels like and looks like already. I am also pretty much PAIN FREE! I mean sure I do have some stiffness in my lower back and hips after sitting or lying down for awhile when standing. I also still have a hard time standing for very long periods of time. Yet I am learning more with each visit as my body is adjusting to me practicing healthy movement patterns while exercising and correcting bad posture. There is so much to learn! Brandon is probably the most patient person I have ever met in my life! He pays such good attention to detail, noting every move I’m making as he’s coaching me through exercises to correct my posture and give me a good workout.! I have an inquiring mind and am always asking a ton of questions . He has answers to questions that I’ve had for such a long time. It’s liberating to say the least to be able to put things into perspective FINALLY! I’m looking forward to growing stronger physically and even mentally as I continue with this program! There is so much to gain and nothing to lose other than horrible chronic pain!

Great guys.....what a passion Brandon and Micheal have for training our mind, and bodys to function properly. Traditional exercise has totally took us in the wrong path. Theres a lot to learn, yet it It makes complete sense.Keep up the good work guys.

FP matches what the body needs to do. Im more tuned into to what I need to do and how things are supposed to work. The guys are all knowledgeable, highly engaged, and completely dedicated to our success. I can guarantee youll never look at working out the same again.

If I have to work out, this is where I want to do it! FP has given me my life back, moving me out of old patterns that triggered constant pain and into new, healthy patterns that feel much better. Every trainer here is knowledgeable about body mechanics and can help correct dysfunction. I’ve never had a bad workout, no matter who I’m working with.

These guys are the real deal. If they put up with me, then they deserve a gold medal. Thanks for all you guys do, and thanks for pain free body!!

Ive dealt with a bad back since 2003 when I was medically disqualified from receiving a commission in the United States Marines Corps after 3.5 years of training in ROTC. I further aggravated it through deadlifting and squatting with poor form throughout the years.Most recently, I tweaked my back again and hurt my shoulder while performing heavy bench presses.Chalking it all up to old age, I decided my body would probably be better suited to just running. Wrong again. My knee was being pulled on so hard by my IT-Band that most of my runs turned into walks about 5 minutes in.I heard about Functional Patterns through a friend/co-worker and decided to give it a try. Ive been with them for over a month and every movement they teach me has put zero strain on my back and shoulder. I feel exhausted at the end of every workout, but by the time I get to the office I feel ready to attack the day! They have taught me how to deal with my IT band issue through myofascial release and they have worked to strengthen the parts of my body that help to activate the correct muscles to give me proper running form which will prevent an IT band injury from occurring in the future! Ive been able to start a running regimen again!If you are experiencing pain from old injuries or from old age, give Function Patterns:South Carolina a try! Im so very glad I did!

Top notch team of knowledgeable trainers who are helping me feel and move better than ever. They watch me intently and provide spot on feedback. Highly recommend trying it out to begin to understand what FP is all about.

I have been working with these guys for 3 months now & I’m more excited to exercise than I have been in a long time.I’ve had chronic pain for 6 years and struggled to find real help with fixing my issues, and most other resources I sought out were only helpful for pain management.I’m in my early 30s and the fact that everyday felt like a battle against my body was a depressing struggle.FP is hard! but in the most humbling way, the guys at the South Carolina location are all phenomenal human beings focused and passionate about helping people. They all help me study my dysfunctions & and explore how to correct them with me In every session.To any future client, I would say have trust in the trainers, they recognize that everyones body is coming from a different experience. However we all want to go in the same direction, of correcting the cause of our pain and learning to move in ways that respect our biology. I think most people can admit that they don’t breathe great, or don’t have a deep mind muscle connection with the tissues in their abdomen that help them stabilize their body as they breathe. It will take time and consistency to make real change, be patient with yourself and work as hard as you can! These guys will empower and direct you better than any physical therapist, box gym trainer, massage therapist, chiropractor, yoga or pilates instructor that I have seen in my 6 years of chronic pain.

I had been a personal trainer a few years ago before shifting careers - I was certified in several mobility and MFR programs out there and was still never able to resolve my issues until I came here about a year ago. I came to them with a slew of problems (shoulder pain, knee pain, pinched c5/c6 (neck) nerve). Michael and Brandon have given me my life back. I’m able to do any activity I want to do when I want to do it. Go for a 7 mile hike, play pick up basketball, go for a 5 mile run - no problem! I’m able to enjoy life more with my family, have less stress and anxiety, and have seen all of my biomarkers (like blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol) significantly improve.They encouraged me to get certified in Functional Patterns through the Human Foundations course and has helped me start to understand human biomechanics at a deeper level. I take what I learn here and apply it to my family and friends to improve their lives. Functional Patterns is a system second to none and these guys here are some of the best in the industry.

When I started FP a few months ago, I was skeptical. But my neck hurt so bad and was such a disruption to my life, at just 33 years old I knew I had to do something. My neck hurt so bad, that every day by 3pm I had to lay down. I was beyond frustrated. The crew at FP has me pain free and fully mobile again. I can’t describe what a relief it is. We also have our 2 kiddos training so we can beat their dysfunctions before they begin. Huge thanks to all the guys here. HIGHLY recommend!!

I started training Brazilian Jui-jitsue under Richard here for MMA. So because of the physical demand I was always sore and had joint and lower back pain. Started Functional Patterns and have been doing it for almost 2 months now. Ive noticed a significant improvement in joint pain or lack thereof! I have a better mind muscle connection throughout my body as well as better posture. Still have a long way to go but am pleased with my experience thus far.

I can’t say enough about the positive impact these guys have had on my son. The physical as well as mental training has been worth more then every penny !

I came to Functional Patterns as a manual therapist and trainer, searching for a way to address the chronic problems with clients that would keep coming back or the ones that I just couldn’t figure out. I feel like Naudi Aguilar (founder of FP) has decoded human movement. When you practice FP, there’s something deep, almost primal, about the movements that just clicks. You’ll feel light, energized, and so in-tune with your body. Everyday movements that may have caused pain will seem effortless. I often find myself walking and then just wanting to break into running because I feel so good.Everyone at FPSC is an expert. They’re good natured and patient - trust me, you’ll appreciate that.Greenville, take advantage of this extraordinary resource you have here. I’m driving from Mississippi to train with these guys!
