If you are interested in Functional Effect but are not ready to commit to a long-term fitness program, we understand.
You should have the opportunity to experience the gym, meet our coaches, and see how our approach works before deciding if Functional Effect is right for you.
That is exactly why we offer our 14 Days for $14 trial for new clients.
What Is the Functional Effect 14 for 14 Trial?
New clients can experience Functional Effect for 14 days for just $14.
Rather than trying to understand our approach from a website or social media post, you get the opportunity to actually experience it.
Come into the facility.
Meet our team.
Train in our environment.
See how our coaching works.
And determine whether Functional Effect feels like the right place for you.
There is a big difference between reading about a gym and actually experiencing it.
Functional Effect Is Not a Traditional Gym
If you are looking for a room filled with exercise equipment where you are completely on your own, there are plenty of gyms that provide that.
Functional Effect was built differently.
We specialize in helping adults, particularly adults over 40, become stronger, healthier, and more capable through personalized fitness and professional coaching.
Our approach combines individualized programming, semi-private personal training, assessments, recovery, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation under one roof.
Our goal is not simply to get you through a hard workout.
We want to help you build a body that allows you to continue doing the things you love.
What Is Semi-Private Personal Training?
Semi-private training gives you the coaching and individualized programming of personal training while allowing you to train alongside other Functional Effect members.
That does not mean everyone follows the same workout.
Your program is based on your goals, abilities, training experience, limitations, and starting point.
Someone next to you may be working on something completely different.
You still get the community and energy of training with other people, but your training remains personal to you.
What If I Haven't Exercised in Years?
That is completely fine.
You do not need to get in shape before coming to Functional Effect.
We work with people at very different starting points.
Some have exercised consistently for decades.
Others have not stepped into a gym in years.
Some are dealing with previous injuries or physical limitations.
The purpose of coaching is to meet you where you are and determine the appropriate place to begin.
You are not expected to keep up with anyone else.
Is Functional Effect Only for People Over 40?
No.
We work with adults of different ages and fitness levels.
However, we have developed a particular expertise in helping adults over 40 because their needs are often different from someone in their teens or 20s.
Strength, mobility, recovery, previous injuries, health history, and long-term goals all become increasingly important considerations.
We believe your training should reflect that.
What Happens After the 14-Day Trial?
The trial is an opportunity for both you and our team to determine whether Functional Effect is a good fit.
If you love the experience and want to continue, we can discuss the training option that makes the most sense for your goals.
For clients who want a structured starting point, we offer 12-week semi-private coaching programs, including:
Silver: $99 per week
Includes two coached training sessions per week for 12 weeks.
Gold: $139 per week
Includes unlimited coached training for 12 weeks.
We can help you determine which option makes the most sense based on your goals, schedule, training experience, and desired level of coaching.
There is no reason to figure all of that out before you walk through the door.
Start by experiencing Functional Effect.
