Been coming here for about a year. I used to got to cross fit and realized that it was creating problems with my posture. Since I’ve been coming here I have noticed a drastic change in my posture for the better and my back no longer hurts! I also really enjoy the work outs here they are challenging and educating. Highly recommend!

5 stars for Coach Frida and the entire team at Functional Patterns MN!Before finding FP, I was a full-time skydiver and a college gymnast. In my youth, I had two major, potentially career-ending surgeries—an Achilles tear and a full right knee reconstruction—that left me with debilitating pain for years. On my 40th birthday, I woke up and my hip hurt so badly I couldn't skydive anymore or enjoy the sports I loved. That was a wake-up call.I started training with Frida and her team at the end of December, going 2-3 days a week, and the results have been incredible. My body feels good. My legs feel good. My posture has improved, I'm stronger overall, and I just feel better in my day-to-day life.What sets Functional Patterns apart from everything else I've tried is the approach—it's not just lifting or generic mobility work. It actually addresses how your body moves and functions as a whole system. Frida and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely inclusive, and they meet you where you are.If you're an athlete looking to keep performing, or anyone who wants their body to work better and last longer, I can't recommend Functional Patterns MN enough. Thank you, Frida and team!

Functional Patterns MN has been an amazing experience. My body has never felt better. It’s so great to be able to learn a different form of working out that doesn’t pound on my back and knees. Training this way is truly life changing.

Before starting Functional Patterns Minnesota, I had already spent most of my life wrestling and training hard, but I had accumulated some brutal injuries along the way some of them including whiplash, concussions, torn intercostals, ankle injuries, chronic neck stiffness, and persistent low back pain. I had also practiced yoga for over 7 years because I thought that if wrestling and lifting were compressing my body, then stretching and “loosening up” would solve the problem. I had personal trainers, bodybuilding was seeing a chiropractor for years, had university S&C coaches guiding form during lifts and was really immersed into health and fitness culture. Despite thinking I was athletic and in tune with my body, I was still dealing with chronic pain, taking muscle relaxers, and had very limited awareness of my actual structure and movement patterns.After getting fed up with feeling broken at such a young age, I finally decided to try Functional Patterns and spent a summer training with Frida at Functional Patterns Minnesota. Within just the first few months, I not only experienced significant pain relief, but also developed a much deeper awareness of my body and movement. I vividly remember thinking, “I’ve spent my whole life in health and fitness, but I’ve never had someone position and cue me in a way that made me feel like I was literally floating through the air.” The precision of the training and coaching was unlike anything I had experienced before. And that was after just a summer of training!Functional Patterns Minnesota gave me hope and helped me regain my physicality. It not only helped me rehabilitate old injuries, but also played a major role in helping me manage and eventually go into remission from Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism an autoimmune disease that also came with a vast array of symptoms that negatively impacted my life at all levels.Over the years, I’ve also watched FPMN help people from all walks of life improve their posture, movement, chronic pain, strength, gait, and overall quality of life. The gym environment is welcoming, supportive, and genuinely focused on long-term health and biomechanics.I 10/10 recommend training with any of the practitioners here if you’re serious about improving your movement, posture, chronic pain, or overall health.

I’ve been with FPMN for almost 2 years. I went in with very chronic neck pain after years of desk work. It didn’t happen overnight, but my posture is much better and the neck pain is gone. Anne is fantastic to work with. She really listens and is super knowledgeable and creative. I highly recommend.

I found FP Minnesota at the age of 55. I had an exercise induced hip injury that left me unable to walk without significant pain for 2 years. I tried everything and NOTHING worked until I found FP. I no longer have hip pain and am active again. I am so grateful for Frida and her team!!

I trained with Nick for 10 online sessions, and after every session I felt great and had clear, actionable things to work on.Even though I’ve been training within the Functional Patterns ecosystem for a while, having an experienced set of eyes on you to catch blind spots and keep you accountable is always valuable.Working with someone (Nick) from Functional Patterns Minnesota was a solid experience, and it reinforced how important external feedback is, no matter your level.

Functional Patterns is the best system out there for sourcing out the root of your dysfunctions. As a physical therapist myself I can attest that I’ve tried countless other methods and this is the one that reversed my chronic conditions, got me out of pain, and allows me to guide my clients towards similar results.Additionally, Minnesota is hands down one of the best places in the world for Functional Patterns training. The community is unmatched and the practitioners here are world class, attentive, and results-driven. You will absolutely feel supported, safe, and motivated in this environment. Between one-on-one training and group classes, they really cater to all levels of movers— from those working out of chronic pain, to those improving their high level athletic performance, and everyone in between.I have been visiting FP MN from out of state every couple of months and they truly make MN feel like a destination. I leave feeling amazing and I learn something new each time I visit. Twin cities residents: do not sleep on Functional Patterns Minnesota, you don’t know how lucky you are to have them in your very own backyard. If you’ve tried other systems or fitness modalities and either felt like you were not challenged enough, felt discouraged by pains, or could sense significant details were missing - this is the place for you!
