The Athlete's Guild

Love FTS! As a woman in my 40s, this studio is perfect! Dustin and team design my workouts to my goals, not to fitness fads and have taught me how to get fit without getting hurt. I’m getting stronger and have more strength and stamina for all my hobbies! Best investment in my health I have made.

I’ve been going to FTS for about 2-3 years now and they are phenomenal at what they do. It’s a welcoming environment with amazing staff that are knowledgeable about every part of fitness.

Frank is an awesome trainer! I’ve been working out with him for about 2 months and have seen so much progress already. 10/10 would definitely recommend FTS and crew.

I am Sam Weber and the Kicker for the Football team at Cox Mill High School. I started FTS in August of 2020 and have seen amazing results, and I thank Dustin so much for this progress!

I have been going to FTS for 3 years and I can not say enough good things about Dustin and all of the trainers at this business. I get stronger each time I go and I really enjoy working out!

I started here about two months ago. Staffs are friendly and motivating. I enjoy working out with my trainer Chad. They design the workout session on a individual bases, definitely would recommend and continue here.

I spent about 2 years trying to figure out my back pain. I've done PT, chiropractor, massage, dry needling, and acupuncture on top of going back and forth to doctors. Functional Training Studio was my last hope and they did not disappoint.Huge shout out to Jaedon for all his help. He's thorough and truly makes sure you understand how the excercises affect your body.In the 3 months I have been training with Jaedon, I have found relief. I do not leave in pain. I'm excited to continue my journey at FTS and HIGHLY recommend anyone dealing with chronic pain to try this gym out.

I was looking for a gym in the north Charlotte area to workout in. I wanted personalized training because I had health obstacles to solve but the other gym franchises seemed gimmicky with their “personal trainers”. I wanted someone with me from beginning to end, and consistent.Dustin did my initial assessment and I learned so much in that single session of what my problem areas were and why I was having pain in certain areas and motions. That’s when I knew this was the spot for me. Dustin is very knowledgeable, made sure I was comfortable, respectful, and understanding.My goals were to reduce joint pain, gain weight, and gain strength.I started in February and week after week, I’ve been blasting through my personal records and doing significantly better with every new session!! I cut off my chiropractor because my pain has gone away!! I got paired with Jaedon and he has been so informative, funny, and encouraging these past few months. One of the most important lessons that Jaedon taught me and that I’ll never forget is that you don’t need to feel pain in order to have a successful workout- and my monthly pictures and results prove it. I love working out with Jaedon!I wish I had more money to spend more time at the gym with them. I’m doing 4 months of private training right now, but am on track to do semi-private soon! I only did that because I felt a little nervous not having the one on one supervision, but now I’m gaining confidence! If something doesn’t feel right or uncomfortable, they’ll adjust your plan and actually pinpoint what the issue is!!All the other trainers are fun, great, certified, and so nice too! You can tell Dustin has a passion for training and that he treats his team well. They’re also dedicated to the community too; supporting their local middle and high school trainees at school events and hosting food drives… it’s rare to see a business show support like that.Just for reference, it is smaller than your typical Planet Fitness but they still have high quality equipment, turf, and enough space to work with; they are in the middle of making moves to expand soon with the new clientele they have.But yeah, i CANNOT STRESS HOW GREAT THIS PLACE IS. IF YOU WANT ACTUAL RESULTS WITHOUT BEING SCAMMED BY A RANDOM INSTAGRAM WANNABE TRAINER, COME HERE!!!

My son started training with Dustin at FTS in late Oct 2021 and he has already seen the results in strength and performance on the football field. The staff is highly professional and provide motivation at each training session. FTS passionately wants their clients to succeed!!!

I joined FTS several months ago and it was one of the best things I could have done for myself. I checked out a number of gyms/trainers. FTS was one of the last places I looked into because it was farther than I wanted to travel, but the extra drive time is so worth the wonderful training I receive at FTS. I knew immediately during the assessment with Dustin that this gym was going to offer a different experience from other places I had been. The training provided has been consistently challenging and the focus and feedback on performing the moves correctly has been excellent. I have been training with Nicole who is so patient and makes my workouts so much fun. If you are looking for a place to learn, train, and get stronger you should check out FTS!!
