I've been an athlete my entire life, working out/being active is a part of who I am; but life got in the way these last two years and working out became a second (or third, fourth priority). I was nervous to jump back into it, then I walked into Funatics. Not only was it a welcoming, non-judgmental environment, I literally left more inspired and confident - and that was just the consult! I've taken two classes so far and both were amazing, motivating - hitting different target areas. The owner, instructors and members are all amazing. Very grateful for Funatics and how it has jumpstarted my journey back to health and wellness!

Love the structure of classes. The trainers keep you moving with positive reinforcement and push you to achieve the goals you set for yourself. I thought I’d have a problem showing up for 2-3 classes a week, I’m here doing at least 5 classes. Just an overall great atmosphere.

Regina, thank you for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled the class structure and our trainers’ positive reinforcement are helping you reach your goals and stay motivated. It’s fantastic you’re joining five classes a week and enjoying the atmosphere — we appreciate you being part of our community and look forward to seeing you in class.
