I have a long background in a variety of sports, and I was always told that building strength via traditional weight training would not only improve athletic performance but also reduce injury. ⚽️🏊🏻‍♂️🚴🏼🏋🏼‍♂️🏆 Why then, was I experiencing decreased range of motion, muscle tightness, recurring pain during exercise, and chronic injury? 🤔 I consulted with collegiate-level athletic trainers, physical therapists, and private physical trainers. 👩🏻‍⚕️They could tell me I was moving incorrectly but couldn’t provide feedback to teach me to move correctly. They could guide me through a rehabilitative exercise but nothing had lasting impact on reducing my pain and injury during training and competition. 🤦🏼‍♂️I felt defeated thinking I might have to live with the pain and come to terms with not being able to participate in my favorite activities for fear of injury. I didn’t give up hope that the fixes I was looking for were out there. On the hunt for answers, I discovered Functional Patterns.Since I began weekly private sessions and daily group dynamic strength classes with Frida and Austin at FP Minnesota about a year ago, I have relearned how my body produces movement and maintains structural integrity. They were able to identify anatomically what was restricting my movement patterns, causing me pain during exercise and daily activities, increasing my risk of injury, and stagnating my athletic performance. Not only did they identify the source of the dysfunctions, but they also provide actionable physiological corrections throughout each movement pattern that have put me on the path to reducing my dysfunctions entirely. Because I now know how to coordinate movement in a way that respects how human body composition has evolved to produce movement, I feel confident translating these principles into my daily movement patterns and exercise. I now move pain-free ✅ and exercise without fear of injury. ✅ I have also found that as I learn to move better and decompress my spine, my body seems to function better overall. I have more energy throughout the day, handle stress better, and feel a consistently sharper mental acuity. A better functioning body has improved the way I think and interact with the world.

Best gym in the Twin Cities by far!! Frida and Austin understand how to change human movement and improve performance. I plan on training with them as long as I can.

Great gym, all the coaches pay a lot of attention to detail. Very safe and effective workouts.

Functional Patterns is THE standard for real human functional training.Frida’s classes are consistently challenging and effective. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to intricate postural details while cueing connection to the entire movement.

I have been in the fitness industry for several years now, and have attended many continuing education courses in an effort to do what Is best for my body and my clients. My efforts in bodybuilding, corrective exercise, kettlebells and group fitness classes left me with a shredded labrum in my hip and chronic low back pain. I went to multiple physical therapists, chiropractors and movement specialists seeking answers and relief. Finally in 2019 I resorted to surgery, which did help, but still left me in pain at the end of most days. During the pandemic Frida started offering classes online that have provided so much insight and education that I wish I had years ago. The amount of value she is able to provide even in an online setting with limited equipment is incredible. After 1 month of doing FP Fundamentals online with only a band and one weight and my pain is 99% gone. I used to wake up every night multiple times in pain, now I sleep through the night. If you are on the fence about trying Functional Patterns I highly recommend you work with Frida, she is the best!

I love this place! Ive been really impressed by the individual attention and small class sizes along with the excellent results.

FridaFIT is an amazing place to work out. Frida and Danielle and both great at working with people at their fitness level. I love the group fitness program and the fact that I just have to show up and Frida and Danielle have my workout plan ready to go. I am definitely in the best shape of my life after working out at FridaFIT,

The best training; on a completely other level. That is all.
