I’ve lived in many different states over the last 10 years, and I have never found a gym like FFASC. It’s truly one of a kind, it’s the best of the best! Before joining, I knew very little about lifting or the fundamentals of fitness, but the knowledge, technique, and lifelong skills that Justin and Jermail teach are unmatched. Of all the gyms I’ve tried, my favorite memories come from FFASC…doing cleans (over and over) with my 5:30am crew, learning a proper deadlift, hitting new PRs…etc. If you want to learn more about fitness and build real strength in a safe, welcoming, and empowering environment (especially as a female), this is your sign. FFASC will change your life in more ways than you can imagine.
I'm thrilled to have found FFASC a few years ago! The members are a friendly blend of beginner, intermediate and advanced athletes. I find great value working under the expert eyes of the Porter brothers. They safely challenge your exertion across their cyclical programming. Justin and Jermail's lifeblood is fitness: they know the classic techniques and the newest trends and will articulately answer any questions. I attend the ASC and 300 classes the most, finding enough variety to engage the whole body but no superfluous movements. I've tried high intensity group fitness, rec centers, power lifting gyms, personal trainers, and have not been sustainably in such good shape as at FFASC. Thank you!
This place is awesome. I have some significant arthritis issues, and it’s often felt like a barrier to staying active. But finding Functional Fitness has been a game-changer. From day one, Justin and Jermail have been incredibly supportive, taking the time to understand my unique challenges and tailoring workouts to fit my needs. What stands out the most is the individualized approach they take. They didn't just hand me a generic fitness plan; instead, they’ve focused on building strength and mobility in a way that respects my body’s limitations. Every movement feels purposeful, and I can feel myself getting stronger without triggering unnecessary pain.
The gym was always an intimidating place for me until one of my friends told me how great FFASC was. So I gave it a try and have been going ever since, about 10 years now. They have classes for all fitness levels and make modifications for members when needed. Jermail and Justin are very professional and knowledgeable. FFASC is more of a community or family. I’ve never felt intimidated and have made many ‘gym’ friends. Give FFASC a try! You’ll love it too.
