Functional Elements Training & Nutrition - Creve Coeur, Missouri

I went from lounging to lunging in just a few weeks! I can lunge here or there--I can lunge anywhere.

My initial body scan at Functional Elements (FE) was a sobering reality check. I knew I had to take action, so I took a leap of faith and signed up for training. Despite my struggles with coordination, I’m truly amazed by my progress.

FE is one of the best training facilities I’ve attended. I appreciate that their program addresses both nutrition and fitness. The trainers are excellent—compassionate, PATIENT, professional, and knowledgeable. Additionally, the environment is clean, organized, and not overstimulating. I am grateful for my time here and hope to continue my journey. I feel encouraged, and fitness and health are no longer optional.

I appreciate the approach and acceptance I have experienced from the trainers at Functional Elements as I re-engage my health and fitness goals. The group classes are a good challenge with people at all levels of fitness. They were all friendly and welcomed me when I was new, which always helps starting at a new gym! I love working with my personal trainers.. both Eddie and Jesse, who have helped me start where I’m at (without judgment!) and build from there. Highly recommend!

My decision to commit and join Functional Elements is the single best decision I’ve made in my 40s. Ive tried all sorts of gyms and workouts in the past, but my experience here has been truly exceptional. The workouts are challenging but attainable, and you walk out just feeling so much better about what you just accomplished. The trainers are also exceedingly dedicated to your health and fitness goals. Working with Eddie and Jessie has been phenomenal. They, along with the others, are encouraging and motivate you each day to work hard and be stronger. Today, I literally look forward to every session. Whether it’s individual or group, the entire environment is positive, welcoming and supportive. Everyone is committed to your success here and you just feel like you hit the jackpot when it comes to community here!

My relationship with Functional Elements goes back 10+ years. These folks are down to earth, honest and caring individuals with highest integrity. Their ability to assess, listen to your needs and provide measurable/attainable goals is what sets them apart from many other competitors. They provide a family oriented, friendly environment for people from all ages to come in and ‘train for life’. They frequently go through additional training, seminars and get certified with latest and greatest in fitness training.

If I was to talk about my personal journey, I must say I owe everything about my current condition to my trainer Jaime. He has trained my mind and body to do the right things. He has educated me to give my body ‘what it needs, when it needs it’ Today, I am 5’7 weighing ~147 lbs. This was not always the case. I weighted as much as ~173 lbs and through proper diet education and training I have received from Jaime, I have been able to loose and maintain my current weight as well as lowering my bad cholesterol. I am now a part time client of FE and Jaime where I train with them whenever I am in Saint Louis but I take my education and training wherever I go. I hike, run or walk 4-5 times a week and love life in the great outdoors out West.

I encourage everyone looking to get healthy in a friendly, caring environment to pop in for an assessment, attend one of their micro sessions OR a 1 on 1 session.

Functional Elements has been a great experience! The trainers are fantastic—knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress. The workout community here is supportive, creating an atmosphere that pushes you to give your best. I wouldn’t say they’ve made working out fun, but it’s definitely as close as it gets! Highly recommend Functional Elements for anyone looking to level up their fitness.

Whatever goal you have set for yourself, the Functional Elements team will get you there with full on support. They are professional, super knowledgeable, and the best accountability partners. They are so fun and somehow know how to get you to do more than you thought you could.
I have worked with Jaime for many reasons over the last 15 years. He has written workouts to round out my regular routine, nutrition programs for marathon training, for getting back on track after having kids, and just any time I’ve needed a reset.
Now my 15 year old son also trains with the coaches at Functional Elements. They have helped him maintain his fitness during an injury.

Like so many of us, between work and parenthood, life got in the way and my health and fitness got lost in the shuffle. After a hike with my family, I was embarrassed by my lack of physical fitness and decided to make some changes. I could NOT have done it without the FE team. Jaime customized a (very doable) nutritional plan that kept me nourished and fueled, and Patrick has worked to help me get stronger and more fit than I’ve been in years. These guys have created a really special culture in the gym that is friendly and accessible for everybody from student athletes to retirees. You’ll find a great mix of men and women of all ages and fitness levels. I’ve worked with several of the trainers and would highly recommend any of them. Patrick in particular strikes a perfect balance for me, of giving praise and positive feedback with “tough love” encouragement to help me maximize my fitness goals. Whether your goal is to lose weight or get more fit, make an appointment. Your future self will thank you!

I have had a great start on my strength and fitness journey with FE. All the people I've worked with have been very nice and knowledgeable. After setting my baseline with them I look forward to continuing with one on one and micro group sessions. I feel challenged and their encouragement pushes me past my comfort zone. The lessons are targeted for my specific goals and I feel confident that I can achieve them. I've leveraged the nutrition into my daily meals as well, taking a wholistic approach. This is my first time using a trainer and I am pleased I selected Functional Elements!
