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!

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!

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.

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. I've 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!

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.

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.

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. It's a very supportive atmosphere. I would highly recommend them from newbies (like us) to experienced athletes wanting more.

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!

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.
