Functional Patterns is a training methodology that was founded in 2006 by CEO Naudi Aguilar.
Naudi has conducted seminars globally certifying practitioners like us. We confidently say that Functional Patterns is the best in the fitness industry. Just look at the results achieved worldwide by Functional Patterns practitioners.
What are Functional Patterns ?
Unlike any other point in human history, the main health crisis we face is the imbalance within our society and our disconnection from nature. Moving away from natural practices and shifting towards a more modern way of living has greatly affected our ability to move correctly and stay out of pain.
So, how can we achieve balance in a world filled with imbalance?
The answer is straightforward: our health depends on how well we adapt to the natural environment. The more harmoniously we coexist with nature, the healthier and more resilient we become. For humans, this means bringing us back to the beneficial aspects of our evolutionary blueprint that made us healthy to begin with.
The Blueprint
There’s an evolutionary blueprint to how all organisms work, and Functional Patterns has been cracking the code in human movement for nearly 15 years. Resulting from tens of thousands of hours in testing, we have pioneered the FP methodology, syncing the physics of our natural environment to our health better than any other system out there.
Our conclusion has been to train humans according to their biological movement characteristics:
Standing
Walking
Running
Throwing
The “FP Big 4”
By optimizing these four human functions, achieving better health is not a gamble, but an inevitability. This is what it means to train Functional Patterns!

FAQs

Since traditional methods like weightlifting, stretching, and mobility training are not ideal for long-term body functionality, you might wonder: What should I do to stay fit and active once my body is where I want it to be?
Our ultimate goal is to help clients develop high-performing, low-maintenance bodies. This means you’ll be able to go for a hike, enjoy a run, or play your favorite sport without worrying about pain or risking injury.
Getting into shape shouldn’t require spending 5 days a week, 2–3 hours a day focusing on separate elements like strength, flexibility, and cardio—only to end up with pain and discomfort from inefficient and poorly designed training methods.
We aim to change this by guiding our clients to build sustainable, pain-free bodies that move efficiently and effortlessly, empowering them to stay active and continuext goes here

We recommend training twice a week if you're new to Functional Patterns. The majority of our clients see the best results when they commit to training twice a week for six months to a year.

The timeline for progress varies for each client, depending on their unique issues and challenges. Some clients experience noticeable pain relief within a few sessions, while for others, it may take weeks or even months.
Progress tends to happen faster when clients follow the recommended protocols outside of training sessions. These include eliminating grains and seed oils from their diet, addressing substance dependencies, spending more time in the sun and nature, and adopting a movement elimination protocol.
Additionally, the more introspective clients are about their conscious and unconscious behaviors—and their willingness to actively address them—the greater their progress will be over the course of their training.
-
We recommend pausing all other physical activities outside of the training we provide at our facility, particularly other training modalities, as most can have long-term negative effects on the body’s structure.
Instead, focusing on myofascial release, addressing compulsive eating habits, optimizing sun exposure, improving sleep quality, and spending more time in nature are far more effective when combined with Functional Patterns training. These practices work together to help clients achieve their goals sustainably and efficiently.
-
It is not necessary, but we recommend that all clients actively work on or complete the 10-week online course as it provides a valuable foundation for training.
It's a great supplement to in-person sessions, helping you understand the concepts more quickly.
However, it’s not required to start working one-on-one with a trainer. That said, most clients who achieve the best results combine the online course with personalized in-person training.
