Functional Fitness- Applied Strength & Conditioning

Sad to be moving too far to keep going here, Helped me get addicted to exercising and I will always be grateful. Hopefully I can find a new gym that can compare near me again, but I am sure I will make it work now that a foundation has been built if it is at least 50% as good.

Great for beginners all the way to pro level couching! Everyone is friendly and welcoming.

I have been to various gyms and CrossFit boxes and none have given me the kind of well-rounded strength I have been looking for. Never had an injury here, the trainers have a breadth and depth of knowledge reserved for pro athlete training. They push you hard and make you laugh along the way. I love that a person at any skill level can come to class as everything is tailored to your specific need. Truly a Cleveland gem.

Hands down, this is the best gym in Cleveland (I’m prepared to say the best gym anywhere, but at this point I will not be joining any other gyms… I’ve found my home). It’s certainly the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. Whether you’re looking to get in, get your workout done, and get out - or stick around after class and create friendships, this is the gym for you. If you’re looking to improve your fitness by means of endurance, strength, flexibility, or all of the above, then this is the gym for you. FFASC is a place you can comfortably join no matter your fitness level. You will find a diverse group of positive, down-to-earth people here, including the expert instructors Justin and Jermail, the light-hearted and mood boosting yoga teacher Angie, and the welcoming community of gym-goers.
Personally, I have felt the same joy and camaraderie at this gym that I found in team sports in high school and college. I’ve also gained strength I never knew I could achieve by the expert coaching from Justin and Jermail (coaching that feels like 1:1 personal training even in a class of 8 to 12). The cardio classes allow you to push yourself as hard as you’d like; yet the classes also meet the needs of someone wanting less-intensity or requiring modifications.
I can think of nothing more you could want in a gym. Do yourself a favor and sign up for the free class or free week… then watch in amazement as your endurance, strength, and confidence climb!

This is arguably one of the best gyms in all of Cleveland, the workouts are challenging, and will push you , the staff is amazing. I worked out here after injuring my knee in college playing football 2 years ago, and my transformation has been epic, I feel like I am stronger then I have ever been. It is also a kid friendly gym as well with bathrooms, the gym is always clean and you feel good coming in to workout and leaving a workout too! 10/10 definitely recommend

I have been going to Functional Fitness for 6 months. When I began I had next to no muscle and never saw myself lifting weights. I started with the applied conditioning and functional strength classes. Every time I go we are doing something different, it's never boring and it's always challenging. The class sizes are small and the instructors are great.

When I would go to the gym before I never knew what to do and felt like I wasn't making progress. Now all I have to is get there. I have gained muscle, endurance and even some confidence.

About 6 weeks ago I started going to the applied strength and conditioning class. I had no previous experience in performing Olympic lifts or weight training.

I was taught the proper techniques at light weights and am slowly working my way up each class. It's a process that requires commitment and dedication but that's not an issue because once you start going you won't want to stop.
