FTS is an excellent fitness studio. The trainers and staff are extremely knowledgeable and personable. They are vested in each and every client. The equipment and facility is top notch and is very clean. I’ve had amazing training and interactions with Frank, Nicole and Dustin. They are committed to developing a specialized program for each participant to ensure maximum success. I highly recommend FTS!

I was always really overwhelmed when going to gyms, then I found this gem! Now I feel confident and I’ve gotten so much stronger than I ever thought I’d get. The coaches are understanding and work with you every step of the way. They push you and adjust any movements that don’t feel right. This gym also has a great nutrition program. You’re basically set up for success!

FTS has an amazing facility and staff. All trainers are professional, supportive and determine to get you to reach your goal. My husband and I are very pleased with all sessions that we have had and we really like how our routines are modified monthly to our specific goals so it keeps it interesting.

I’ve been going to Functional Training Studio for 6 months now and I highly recommend it! It’s helping me get stronger and overcome a shoulder injury. Love my trainer Frank!

FTS has helped me get better in so many ways. I have increased in speed, strength and agility in the time I have trained at FTS.

FTS has been an awesome experience since day one. With a specific emphasis on teaching and support, clients can expect to meet their goals and have the tools to maintain their dream physique.

We love the FTS facility. We are working really hard to get in shape for our wedding. FTS tailors the workouts to our target areas and they are super great about adjusting our posture to prevent injury. They have also been very flexible with our work schedules so that we can always get a couple of workouts in per week! Can’t wait to hit our goals soon with the help of FTS!

I have been at FTS for a little over half a year now. I went in having the mindset of just getting stronger since I play volleyball. Since I have been going there I have seen tremendous improvement in my strength, which has carried over to volleyball. Playing a sport sometimes comes with injuries, and the staff at FTS do a great job of not only accommodating this but rehabbing to get me back and better than before. I have met people who push me to be better every day and who I can call my mentors. I highly recommend FTS to anyone who wants to better themselves through hard work and dedication.

Started going because I was putting on fat during the pandemic and wanted to get help from experts instead of looking everything up on the internet. They make your workout plan for you so you don’t need to think about anything. You just do it. And they’re super attentive and helpful. All the staff is really friendly. I have gained so much muscle like I’ve never had before thanks to them. Very highly recommended!

I have been a trainer here at FTS for about 6 months now and could not have asked for a better place to grow. Out of all the gyms I’ve worked at, none of them can compare to how much Dustin and the rest of the staff push me to constantly improve myself. From athletes to general population, the entire staff is dedicated to not only improving each of our clients performance in the gym, but their overall quality of life.

I have been training at FTS for over a year and have noticed a tremendous amount of improvement in my speed, vertical jump and strength! The environment is amazing and all of the trainers know exactly how to make a workout based off of your goals!

Great for student athletes who are looking for a challenge and truly want to better themselves in the gym and at their sport.

Frank goes above and beyond to get you the results you want. I couldnt have asked for a better trainer!

I believe all healing and learning occurs in relationships. FTS has owners and trainers that exemplify relationship and team building. No matter where you are in your rehab, fitness or performance training FTS trainers listen, assess and plan for your goals. FTS trainers are continually improving their own knowledge and application of cutting edge research in exercise science and physical training that goes beyond traditional personal training.The result for me is highly effective use of my training time. Thanks Brian, Dustin and Nicole!

As soon as the gyms were able to get back in business I searched for a personal trainer and Dustin and Nicole proved to be well educated and flexible with there schedule to accommodate my goals. Hands down the best experience I’ve had... The gym was SUPER clean, and the conversations were hilarious! FTS comes highly recommended

I am so enjoying my time at FTS! They create personalized workouts for me and constantly challenge me to make the most of each and every exercise. I’m hitting goals I never thought possible and improving my form and building strength in order to correct injuries and issues I’ve struggled with for years. They are a fun, yet professional group of trainers that are always prepared with a modification or challenge if necessary. I feel stronger after each session!

I Love training here, it is a great atmosphere to better yourself everyday as soon as you step inside the door. The staff is uplifting and supportive making your experience 100% better, I would 100% recommend joining.

The trainers are top notch. If you’re doing a one on one or a small group session you will definitely be pushed to the next level.

Great place to work out! Both Dustin and Nicole are excellent trainers who provide you a workout routine thats customized for your physical abilities and fitness needs, and work with you to get the most out of the time you spend at the gym. Highly recommended!

FTS has proven to be a valued partner in the training for our son Sam. Sam is a senior at Central Cabarrus and a Duke baseball commit and found FTS thru baseball friends. We were searching for a place that could train Sam not only in speed and agility but all facets of his athletic career including mental toughness, nutrition and strength. What we found was a training facility that pushed Sam to be his very best both on and off the field. Focusing on being not only the best athlete but also the best young man he could be. During a period of time when Sam was unable to train due to a tweaked knee, Luke maintained contact with Sam and continued to check in on him pushing him to not let up in other areas of his training. FTS, Dustin and Luke have been a huge blessing to our family and have played a major role in Sam’s career preparing him for his collegiate career. We are forever grateful.

My daughter is a competitive Club and high school Volleyball player and two years ago she started working with FTS. They have transformed her as an athlete with a personalized program specific to her sport. Weve seen dramatic improvements in strength, vertical jump and mobility. I highly recommend FTS.

I had the pleasure of working at FTS for a couple of months & enjoyed my time there greatly. FTS has a great group of coaches who are extremely knowledgeable & continue to push themselves so they can provide the best care to their clients. I would recommend FTS to anyone in the Concord area! No matter your age or experience, FTS will take great care of you and improve your quality of life.

I have been training at FTS for over a year. The trainers take time to listen to goals, do a thorough assessment, start with fundamentals and core strength training before moving to more advanced exercises, and develop an individualized plan to progress toward specific goals. They are professional, innovative, always on time, caring, and motivating. I highly recommend them for training for any level of experience.

When I came to FTS I was unable to hold a 10 pound kettlebell longer than 10 seconds and my arm was aching when I tried to open a refrigerator door. Dustin and Nicole have put together a personalized program for me and, despite my resistance and complaints, were able to help me get stronger and more athletic. Nicoles positive attitude keeps me coming back and I am glad to report that despite my husband doubting me Ive stuck to exercising for 6 months. This was the best thing I could have done for myself. The only thing that FTS could improve on is the music, it is hit or miss.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The facility is top notch and the staff is well trained. While their specialty is training athletes, everyone is welcome. Old or young, male or female, fast or slow, large or small, they treat every client with a personal plan and help you reach and exceed your goals. FTS, the owners, and the employees are more like family that regularly give back to our community.

Best place to get a work out with the best trainers

I have been employed at FTS for a little over a year and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have never experienced a group of trainers who spend so much time on each client. All of our trainers are working to better educate themselves and bring more and more value to our members. FTS has made me more than a trainer, I am now a philanthropist, a student, and an educator. All such important and exciting roles for me to behold. Thank you everyone at FTS that has helped me shape my future.

I have been going to FTS for a little over a month and I LOVE it. I came in for an assessment with Dustin and I could tell that he knew just what he was talking about. I’ve been going to chiropractors and massage therapist for over a year and was still having issues with back and shoulder blade pain. I started working with Nicole and have worked with her for over a month now and she is amazing and always willing to work around my schedule. I can already see muscle growth and I have so much improvement in my posture and I’ve had no shoulder pain in weeks (and I’ve not had to make any visits to the chiropractor). Nicole is so great at what she does. She is constantly encouraging me to push for my goals. She is very knowledgeable and makes working out so much fun. The whole team here is so welcoming and friendly which makes for a great atmosphere. Thanks for all of your hard work Nicole!

I contacted Dustin a little over a year ago because I was frustrated with my workouts. He gave me a personalized workout, talked me through each exercise and tailored it to my needs. Ive had a back injury from being rear-ended and Dustin is very understanding and conscious of this everytime i work out. He alters things to make them possible for me to do without reinjuring myself. And Ive seen major results in both my endurance and strength. Ive never felt judged if I couldnt do something and Ive always been encouraged. He pushes me to do more without making me feel overwhelmed. 10/10

I have trained at various gyms. All of them have been good, some better than others, but FTS is by far the best. They care and invest in their athletes. My coach will call me after certain work outs to see how I’m feeling, he attends players games and events. He gets to know the athlete personally and gives his one on one attention to ensure every movement is safe and correct, while pushing me to get out of my comfort zone. Being an athlete this is the most important thing to me. The gym is clean and a welcoming environment.

My 14 year old son has been going to FTS for a few years in small groups with other middle schoolers. He loves it and has gotten faster and stronger. After my big, box gym changed due to COVID protocol, I decided to start going to FTS myself. I love it! The staff is amazing, especially Nicole and Dustin. They personalize workouts just for me. I highly recommend it to everyone from teenage athletes to adults that are just starting their fitness journey and those that have been working out forever. They are more than a gym. It feels like family!

I have been going to FTS over 5 years now.This truly a great place for people of all fitness levels. They customize the workouts according to our abilities and the goals.Dustin is my trainer. He is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend FTS.

Ive never had a personal trainer before but knew that I needed to do something to get into better shape and health. Found FTS through a friends recommendation and have been extremely pleased. Dustin did my initial assessment and I was impressed by the care and detail of the workup. He looked for trouble spots and asked what goals I wanted to accomplish. He then created a plan tailored to my goals. I then began the workouts with Nicole. She is fantastic! She is able to balance the right amount of encouragement with pushing past where I want to quit. We do a lot of strength exercises but really focus on form. This is where I realize that I needed a trainer all along. She is constantly correcting my form to make me stronger and avoid injury. I cant recommend this place enough!

I’ve been working out here for around 4 months now and this has literally become like my second home. They call everyone here their FTS family and it really does feel like a family! I’m so glad I was able to find a gym as welcoming as this one. All of the trainers here are great including my trainer Luke who’s become like a brother to me. If you’re looking for a great gym and a welcoming environment you’ve found the right place. They really know their stuff and they know how to get people the results they want. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a gym or trainer!

My son has been going to Functional Training Studio for the past several months. His goal was to work on his strength and endurance during his off season. Not only has he gotten stronger, but I can see a boost in his confidence as well. Their attention to your individual needs and concerns really set them apart from other personal training programs. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Top tier facility and brilliant coaches that provide intimate and educational routines to enhance your well being and exceed your goals.

Great personal training facility. They take the time to evaluate current health, understand your goals and motivate to accomplish goals. For people with busy, unpredictable schedules, they work with you to accommodate and help keep you accountable. Very friendly and welcoming training staff. Highly recommend FTS to anyone looking to get healthy, loose weight, gain muscle, whatever your goals are, they can help.

From the initial assessment throughout the program the team has demonstrated expertise, professionalism and a keen commitment to my wellbeing and progress towards the goals we set together.

Trainers are fantastic and help you through a carefully designed program just for you!! The gym itself has plenty of equipment for several different types of exercises.

Excellent, local, private, and semi-private training gym. They go out of their way to care for their clients health. Even willing to meet or call off-the-clock to discuss nutrition, progress, and even personal stuff if desired. Very knowledgable staff and excellent facility. Also very reasonably priced.

FTS cares about their clients health and safety. Dustin hired professionals to ensure the gym was clean and safe for his clients. Dustin implemented extra precautions to ensure everyone stays healthy during this time. Thanks for all you do!

Ive been training here for a few years and feel this gym is brilliant for several reasons:1. The coaches Ive worked with (Brian, Dustin, Hunter) really know their stuff. This applies to all coaching staff.2. All coaches here (Nicole, Lucas and the ones mentioned above) are attentive during my workout and make corrections to my execution whether or not they are training me3. This gym has a great, fun and familial atmosphere4. Dustin (owner) keeps his community in mind by conducting fund raises and events to support great causesOverall, this place has people that will positively impact your life.

I have been working out at FTS for a long time and would recommend to anyone looking for strength training. Dustin is an awesome trainer to work with and takes time to create workout routines based on your goals, abilities and limitations. Every trainer at FTS cares about your goals and success and motivate you to meet your goals. I cannot think of going anywhere else for workouts. Highly Recommended !!!!

FTS has an amazing group of people working tirelessly to give you a personalized and intensive workout routine. They work with any schedule and it’s trainers always make me feel comfortable and excited to workout. Very impressive

Dustin and his staff at FTS are highly qualified in helping you reach your fitness goals. I have been working out for about three months and loved every minute. Dustin takes the time to make sure you are using correct technique and why we are doing each exercise. He generally cares about you reaching your goals and keeps you 100% accountable. If you are looking to get stronger, healthier, or lose weight I highly recommend you check out functional training studio!

Have been training at FTS for the past 6 months and loving it so far. The sessions are tailor made based on your current physical abilities and future goals in mind.Dustin and team are very knowledgeable and pay close attention to avoid any injuries along the way. Very clean and a nice place to workout.. Highly recommend it!!

I just wanted to take a moment to give a shout out about a fantastic business that I’ve recently had the pleasure of visiting and partnering with. No matter what your fitness needs are, the guys at Functional Training Studio will take great care of you. They go above and beyond when it comes to figuring out the right regimen and schedule for each client. If you’re in the Charlotte area, I highly recommend you reach out to the gentlemen here. Dustin, Casey, and Brian are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and capable of helping you reach your personal health goals.

I love working with both Brian and Dustin.They are both very knowledgable and push you to your potential.They make sure your form is optimal during training as to avoid injury and maximize the workout.We always have a fun time and are always laughing which makes the workouts a lot of fun!Its a great place to get healthy and fit!

Ive been training with Dustin collectively for almost a year now and its been nothing short of a pleasure to train with FTS. Ive seen significant improvement in my shoulders, knees, and athletic performance as a whole. The staff is amazing and the environment is full of competitive and driven athletes and trainers who push everyone to be the best they can be. I love coming in for my workouts every week, its grown me as a person and a player and Im thankful to have that opportunity at FTS.

These guys are great. I feel fantastic after working with them for the last 8 months. I look forward to my workouts and have incredible energy after them. Give them a try - there is nothing to fear. You’ll be glad you did.

Awesome place to come for help. Dustin knows his stuff and is very knowledgeable about things that you would never think of and actually wants to help for the best for you. I would highly recommend visiting if struggling with how to start fitness journey or even for just extra help a few times. Definitely give it a try!

Functional Training Studio has improved my health and fitness. I wasn’t in the best physical shape when I started working out back in December.I think the personal attention you get with Dustin and Brian helps keep you motivated, injury-free and feeling good about each workout. I always leave there feeling great about myself, and I have so much energy! My posture has improved, and I don’t have neck, shoulder or back pain anymore. It’s been five months and I am definitely seeing results. My entire family works out at FTS, even our 9-year-old daughter, who has cerebral palsy. I cannot say enough about how amazing this gym is. They will customize your workout to fit your individual goals, and you will love the intimacy of this gym. Dustin and Brian are highly educated performance coaches. They are super smart, funny, friendly and down to earth guys.

Day after day at a desk...I realized my body was getting weaker and decided to do something about it. After looking around for my options I decided to give FTS a try. Ive been working out with Dustin for several months now and can tell a real difference in my strength and muscle tone. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend you give them a try!

My son loves the training at FTS. I would highly recommend for young athletes looking to improve their speed/agility & strength training.

FTS is the best gym that I have ever worked out in. I have never worked with better trainers that push me to be the best that I can and truly care about their clients. I have been with FTS for a little over a year now and I am beyond happy with the results that I have seen. I always look forward to coming to a workout and want to stay in the gym for as long as I can.

I began training with Functional Training Studio (FTS) nearly 10 months ago. I had recently moved back to the area and had lost the passion and drive I once possessed for working out. That quickly changed once meeting and working with the staff of FTS. FTS takes a unique approach by developing a program that is specific to the needs of the individual. I feel that FTS emphasizes a fitness goal of sustainability, with being able to work out for years, rather than months. Thus, eventually maintaining a fit lifestyle. Dustin and his staff have been nothing short of amazing over these past few months and their passion for fitness and the success of their clients is truly motivating. I appreciate their flexibility when life gets in the way of an appointment, and their concerns when you begin to take too many days off. To each of you, Dustin, Nicole, Hunter and Lucas, thank you all for your commitment to helping ensure my workouts are safe and effective each day.

We are loving the personalized attention at FTS. First they did an assessment - looking at our abilities, any physical limitations and our goals. From there they have designed a workout specific to each individual. Both Justin and Casey are great to work with. Challenging you and yet always checking on you - seeing I f you are in the correct position for the exercise, if you are feeling it in the right muscles, or if you are feeling any pain. Its a very supportive atmosphere. I would highly recommend them from newbies (like us) to experienced athletes wanting more.

I would highly recommend anyone, of any age and of any physical ability to FTS. Before giving me a workout regime, they did a very thorough assessment of my physical abilities and limitations, discussed goals and then tailored a plan specific for me. (Very impressive of the time they took to do this!)After only 1 session, I was able to properly do a squat.. without any pain in my ankles! It was all about proper form which I was never taught until now. Highly qualified and caring trainers. If you are thinking about getting physically stronger, in shape or learning how to properly workout, come see FTS. This team will not disappoint!They also give back to their community, which gives a strong testimony to the companies character and core values.Thank you FTS!

I have learned so much from Dustin about proper technique and it’s changed my workouts forever. Also, he’s super motivating not just in working out but in all aspects of life!

FTS is not like any other gym. Dustin will make sure you meet your goals by making you accountable and working tirelessly with you. My son has been coming here for over a year and he has progress dramatically in everything him and Dustin have worked on. I could not recommend this place more!!

Ive been training with Dustin for years and we constantly adapt my workouts to meet both long- and short-term targets. Trainers offer client-specific, private, or semi-private, training sessions to help achieve your personal goals. With certifications galore, there isn’t much that isn’t in their wheelhouse – from nutritional training to postural restoration, this 2,000+ SqFt facility and staff is packed with everything you need for a traditional training program all the way to specialized athlete training. You don’t just have a coach, you get a friend that truly wants to help you achieve your goals.

FTS is awesome! Dustin and his team do an amazing job with identifying target areas to focus on and incorporating in an all-around workout. Thrilled with the results my daughter is seeing!

My son has been working with Dustin at FTS and has seen vast improvements in muscle strength, speed and agility. Although the work outs are quite intense, Dustin makes it so fun for the kids that they truly love being there! Great experience for our family!

FTS is fantastic! This is my first experience with a personal trainer, and I could not be happier. Everyone at FTS genuinely cares about your goals and success. They will hold you accountable and make sure you push harder every week. I highly recommend FTS to anyone looking to change their life.

I love working out at FTS! Coming up on a year and I haven’t wanted to skip a workout yet. Dustin is an amazing trainer who pushes you to do your best all while keeping your specific needs and abilities in mind. I feel like my safety and improvement is a top concern of his, and that I always receive excellent instruction on my form while completing exercises.This gym has a welcoming and supportive environment and I always look forward to my sessions, even if I need to attend one that I don’t normally go to. The other clients are always encouraging and the community aspect is wonderful. Can’t recommend FTS enough!

Very clean, well fitted gym. Personalized training sessions with Coach Dustin who is very knowledgeable and motivational! A must after any injury to get strength and mobility back!

I have been at FTS for about 5 months. I came in not knowing what my full potential was or how far I could go. Lucas and the rest of the trainers at FTS have shown me what it takes to be a true athlete. You have to be able to work hard, stay committed, and also have to believe in yourself. Since coming to workout at FTS, I have seen massive improvements in the water and on the court. As a freshman, I am eternally grateful that I came to FTS when I did. I know I would not be where I am today or see great improvements later on. I can’t wait to see how far I get because of this amazing place.Not only does this place create great athletes, but it can train anyone no matter what your athletic ability is. I would highly recommend FTS for anyone looking to have a good workout environment and trainers who care about your successes.

FTS is awesome, I’ve been training with coach Dustin for 4 years now and I’m stronger and more healthy than i have ever been. If you want to better yourself in all areas then FTS is the place to go!

This is not your typical gym...in a great way. FTS has highly knowledgeable trainers who take their time to learn each individuals goals and design programs as unique as the members. Each workout is explained and demonstrated with feedback given as you go through your progressions. The trainers here put safety as a top priority and they ensure you are performing the movements correctly to minimize and eliminate injury which can slow up or prolong your progress. The atmosphere is welcoming and really laid back making it extremely difficult for anyone to feel left out or singled out . For such a young staff, they are all nothing short of top level professionals in their approach and deamonor at all times. They are also involved in community activities which says a lot about them as individuals.

I go for semi private personal training sessions. Theyre worth every penny. There are 4 ladies in my group.

FTS has the best trainers that make workouts fun. They take time to understand your abilities and goals.This gym is focused on fun safe workouts.

I have been training at FTS for about 2 months now. The amount of improvement Ive seen has been astronomical. I trained under Ultimate Athlete for about a year half to two years before FTS and came out with my right side being so much stronger than my left. Dustin and Lucas, (who I train under now) have since fixed that problem. I love the fact that FTS holds you 100% accountable for your own improvement. If you want to be babied, skip workouts for no reason, and not try, you wont see the improvements I saw. Staff will make sure you are always doing the exercise correctly however! People are very friendly to talk with and are always wearing a smile on their face.FTS adapts their workouts for ANY athlete. I am personally a swimmer/upcoming triathlete and I have seen massive improvements in the water as well.I am glad I am a FTS athlete and hope to be here until I go to college!

Dustin, works with me is very informative and helps improve in areas you ask for. Pushes you to your limit. !!!

Excellent place to get trained... awesome and very friendly coaches are here...

Great place for workout, very knowledgeable trainers I would recommend anyone to this gym .

Have been working with Dustin at FTS for 6 months. I entered a little apprehensive due to severe low back pain, knee pain and plantar fasciitis. I must stress that I have been treated with patience and respect. The knowledge and education these gentlemen have is truly impressive. Thanks to their technic and individualized workouts that vary constantly I so look forward to my sessions and have made them a top priority in my life. I feel stronger every day and most importantly have been learning to reduce and control my pain thru exercise and strength. I cannot praise this studio and trainers enough.

I began training at FTS from the first day they opened. I was determined to maintain a level of fitness as I approached my mid sixties.Lower back soreness and hip pain had been a constant problem for me and I was looking to alleviate that discomfort.The FTS trainers worked with me to strengthen my core, butt and legs. They focused on teaching me proper breathing technique, strengthening my shoulders and posture. Although it was a tough go at first, the harder I worked the stronger I became. I was challenged with every workout but feeling better and more fit than ever before.Each set of workouts is designed for you and includes core fitness specific strength training and incorporates cardio.The attention to creating a fitness program designed specifically for you, is what makes FTS different from other gyms. It is full body training that is at your level yet continually challenges you to improve.As I approach age 65 in a few months I feel fit, healthy and glad I found FTS.

Coaches are experienced and professional.
