Functional Fitness Stl

Full disclosure, this review is not based upon my experience of training at Function Fitness. It is based on my interaction with the trainer about the set up of the gym and pricing. Having just moved to STL, I was looking to join a gym in downtown given that I live there. I used play rugby professionally when younger in the UK, and so I’ve had access to top strength and conditioning coaches in my time so knowledge is not an issue. For this reason I’ve never needed a personal trainer, even for motivational purposes. Having walked into the Functional Fitness off the street, I was looking to understand the pricing for membership, as I liked the set up of the place. The trainer explained that it would be $ 99 for 4 sessions, and then a personalized schedule would be created thereafter. I asked if there was a standard monthly membership rate, and he replied there was not, that there were boot camp options or a personalized plan starting from around $ 150. I explained I didn’t need a trainer, to which he condescendingly responded «Everyone needs a personal trainer». I then tried to explain to him that I played rugby professionally, that I still remain in touch with my conditioning coach from those days, who now is the Head of Strength for the Scottish International Rugby team, so $ 150+ a month is too much to pay, and asked if there were options without the trainer. He then dismissively retorts «OK, goodbye now» and shuts the door in my face. It came off as incredibly rude, given that I was politely asking about options for membership. I have never been spoken to like that before. And as someone who owns and operates a start-​up myself, I would never speak to a prospective client that way. It seems like all your other customers are very happy with your work though. If I was someone who didn’t have much experience, knowledge or motivation, I could see myself paying $ 150+ for assistance. But I am not, so I will be taking my business elsewhere. This is the only occasion where I have been compelled to write a negative review on Unilocal by the way.

There are few, if any, personal trainers is the St. Louis area that are as knowledgeable in exercise and nutrition. From working with elite athletes looking to improve performance to grandparents that want to be fit enough to play with their grandchildren, Functional Fitness STL can develop a personalized fitness program for you and provide the motivation to stay on track!

I’ve been training with Jeremy for a year. He’s helped me reach several personal milestones and he can do the same for you. Take control of your life — Get your butt in gear — Call him today!

Soooo, I’m NOT a gym Guy. Don’t LIKE gyms, I’m INTIMIDATED by gyms, just not my thing. BUT, I NEED to be in a gym, or receiving some kind of training to get my 40 y/o…ness in better shape. I had been thinking in the back of my mind that I should go see Jeremy at Functional Fitness because I see that he is quite active on Social Media channels and looks like he knows what he is doing. BUT, the guy is an ex-​MMA fighter with something like 15 PROFESSIONAL fights to his credit. Doesn’t sound intimidating at all… RIGHT?!
Yesterday I had my first session with Jeremy. He asked me a lot of questions to get to know more about me in terms of my past physical activities, my current physical activities, and my future physical goals. I told him my goal for HIM on my first visit was to NOT HURT ME. Jeremy then put me through some very basic but very APPROPRIATE exercises. The kind of exercises that brought some of my muscle groups to exhaustion, but NEVER put me in a position where I felt I was doing something that was beyond my capability or at risk of injuring myself. I can only imagine this kind of wisdom comes from YEARS of training his own body and knowing approaches what work and which don’t. He did’t just throw some dumbbells at me and get in my face and shout LIFFFFFT, PUSHHHHH, C’MONNNN WEAKLING… like I thought he might.
I still haven’t decided if this is going to be my route to PHYSICAL ENLIGHTENMENT, but, IF I DO, Jeremy at Functional Fitness will be my Fitness Guru.

I enjoyed my experience at Functional Fitness and was impressed with Jeremy’s knowledge. He is definitely an expert at what he does. He tailored my goals to my workout session and I like how he introduced many new movements. I highly recommend working with Jeremy!

I just had my first session with Functional Fitness and truly enjoyed my experience! Jeremy is an expert at what he does, very informative, personable, and is dedicated to the results you want. I can’t wait for my next session!

Awesome facility, personable, informative trainer. I’ve been to many gyms and tried numerous workout plans, thinking I had tried most things, but Jeremy definitely introduced some fresh and exciting movements (which was absolutely desired, recruiting new muscles, strengthening some weaknesses, leaving me satisfyingly sore :-)) can’t beat the location, can’t wait to go back!

If you believe it, you can achieve it. Jeremy can make a you a believer and an achiever. He tailors to your fitness level and still pushes your limits of strength and flexibility. Go once and you’ll want to go back again. If you are looking to boost your energy and look your best, go to Functional Fitness today!

I was seriously impressed by Jeremy and his gym. He has more than proven to be a fitness guru and genuinely wants to see you succeed in achieving the results you want. I love the fact that he took the time to really hear what I wanted and then helped me set realistic goals. Training with him was the best decision I’ve made all year!

Thanks to Jeremy I’ve reached my goals, and I’m in the best shape of my life ! Cheers to Mr. Genin for guiding me into a healthy workout regimen for my lifestyle !!

Jeremy is a great trainer. He not only knows his away around a gym, but he also has a great sense of humor! So the workouts are fun and he makes you feel comfortable.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeremy one on one for an extended period of time. Jeremy has advanced knowledge of the human body, and how different exercises impact different muscle groups together, and how to create a safe environment to achieve your goals. More than that, his knowledge of different workout techniques make his workouts fun, new and exciting every time. To add the cherry on top, he’s an awesome friendly guy who will motivate you to reach your goals. I would recommend him without reserve, and look forward to when we train again.

I love training at Functional Fitness! Jeremy knows what he’s talking about & explains workouts clearly & patiently, which I really appreciate. I’ve only had a handful of training sessions so far, but I can already see more definition in my arms! Also, the new studio space is great & super convenient as it is close to my office downtown. Definitely check this place out!

This is a great place to meet your fitness goal with a very knowledgable trainer. Very professional and dedicated to your specific needs

Jeremy is fantastic trainer, a good motivator, and a great person. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Jeremy in a number of different business settings… either while he’s training people for MMA and kickboxing fights while we were filming the sizzle reel for a reality TV show… or working with him in the hospitality business. He’s always a class act, professional, and very funny!

Jeremy is an outstanding fitness coach. I’ve seen many of his clients’ lives dramatically change. If you’re really serious about getting in shape and being healthier then go to Functional Fitness.

Jeremy is second to none when it comes to being a trainer. He knows all the ins and outs of fitness and improving your life. He takes the time to listen to you and develop plans to reach your personal goals. He just doesn’t stop at helping you reach your goals, he pushes you further than you could ever imagine!
They say «you get what you pay for», but that’s not true with Jeremy. You get a lot more than what you pay for. I can’t recommend him enough! If you want to change your life or need that extra push to break some nasty habits, he is absolutely your man and functional fitness is your place!

Jeremy is an excellent fitness trainer, coach, and motivator — he listens to his client’s goals and helps you achieve a physical and mental transformation by developing a fitness plan that is right for you. Jeremy got me back in shape after not working out for 5+ years, and I was able to take the knowledge he gave me and the workouts he created to continue the program on my own. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and motivational personal trainer to help you improve your physical and mental health, there is only one choice in St. Louis: Jeremy Genin and Functional Fitness StL!

Jeremy is hands-​down the best personal trainer I’ve ever worked with. I was a little unsure it would be a good fit given that he is a big, strong, former MMA fighter in excellent condition and I… am not. But he’s actually a great trainer for males and females alike, whatever your current condition. He understands how the body functions and uses that knowledge regularly in our sessions. He tailors each session to whatever I need at that time, and he’s ok with changing course as the need arises. He’s knowledgeable, well-​informed, smart, funny, and great at motivating without being annoying. He’s all about helping people achieve their personal best, which can obviously vary greatly depending on where you’re coming from. My workouts are never boring and I always walk away feeling great and accomplished (even when he has to push me a little sometimes to get them started).

I’ve had the chance to work out & do shoots at Functional Fitness Stl on a couple occasions before I moved to Nashville, TN. One of my best friends works with a trainer there & she has seen amazing results on their fitness program. Because of her progress, I have seen her make other huge improvements in her life & business. I definitely believe in what they’re doing & I highly recommend you give them a try. Make sure you check out their testimonial videos, too!
