I joined FunLife in November 2024, and it's been a great experience! Their workouts remind me of CrossFit WODs, but it's not exactly like CrossFit because I think they slow things down to focus on good form, and the coach-to-athlete ratio is smaller. Each day of the week has a different focus--upper body, lower body, conditioning, Olympic lifting--and they rotate the workout cycle every 6 weeks. This allows for progressive overload, and just when I think I've mastered the form, the program changes and keeps things fresh. Due to my main sport, I have an irregular schedule, so I appreciate that they offer a variety of flexible membership plans. A major perk is being assigned a personal coach who checks in with you weekly for the first 12 weeks and then once a month thereafter on paper. In reality, I see my coach Carina more often than that from attending sessions where she is coaching, and when I go to open gym. Carina has been incredibly helpful in supporting my specific fitness goals for my sport--crewing in dinghy team racing and working bow in big boat sailing. She created a custom workout plan (which she updates every few weeks) that incorporates the exact movements I need, like pulling ropes at specific angles--something I haven't been able to find anywhere else. She also helps me address any random soreness from other activities with targeted stretches and mobility work. The gym also has an InBody machine that you can use anytime to track your progress. I've seen a measurable decrease in body fat and an increase in muscle mass, which is very validating. This review might make it sound like I'm really into working out, but my natural state is being a potato. What gives me the extra push to haul my butt to the gym is worrying that the dogs Koa, Koda, Kona, and Loki will forget what I smell like if I skip a week. (Those are the regulars I see, maybe there are more fur angels?!) They're all super sweet and provide much-needed dog therapy. And if you're not into dogs, don't worry--they're well-behaved and won't bother you. I think I need a conclusion paragraph. Basically, I have found that FunLife is a good investment in my physical and mental health (yay dogs!) because of the flexible membership plans, variety of sessions, coaching, and other nice-to-haves like open gym sessions and the InBody scanner. Highly recommend! read more

Caution - Bad Payment Policy. Don't leave your credit card on file with the Wodify App/FL with auto payment ON. Automatic charges get processed without any notification for not attending class/service. Reply from Finance team - We don't care. No refunds. I requested for extended medical leave and they just processed my card twice (for no service), saying we just run this payment and it is justified based on single email shared three months back. Please be cautious. I referred folks here too. Finance team does NOT care..Bad customer service read more

When I joined 8 months ago, I was probably in the worst shape of my life. I was deconditioned and much weaker and had gained a bit of weight from being in the early stages of perimenopause, recovering from a very demanding and stressful job, and had developed poor lifestyle habits as a result. But when I joined FL, I made a commitment to myself to change all of that and I have never felt better, stronger or healthier in my mid 40's. Thanks in part to the challenging yet fun classes I have been taking at least 2-3x a week since I first joined. Carina, my 1:1 check in coach has also been a pleasure to work with. Her positive and upbeat attitude has really helped to motivate me even though I like to complain about the conditioning classes which tbh sometimes feel like torture lol but I always feel better after I'm done. She, along with the other coaches, have been very helpful and supportive of me during my journey to better health. read more

Great small-class fitness studio focused on strength and conditioning. Classes are 10 people max with 2 coaches, offering lots of personal attention, help with form, spotting, etc. Classes and coaches are pretty evenly split between men and women, which helps make this a comfortable and non-toxic place for folks new to lifting or starting/restarting their fitness journeys. Modifications help tailor things to different ability levels, and injuries can be accommodated. Regular one on one check-ins zero in on individual challenges including movement, nutrition, and hydration. I was worried I'd be out of my depth, but within the 2 free trial sessions the camaraderie and support showed me I was in the right place. read more

Definitely not new to this gym although I have been here just for 3 months. I used to go to Functional Lifestyles, Palo Alto before until I found this nearby. Love the workouts, community and having been used to FL for a while now, I can say that if you want to truly step up your fitness, not goof around, have guided workout plans - this is the place. I train under Glenn, Drew, Carina, Alvin and Amanda. Great coaches, really nice people and at a prime location in Mountain view!! Corey (head coach) is truly a hero. Can't tell the kinda impact he has had in people. BTW, you should checkout his podcasts on YouTube. read more

I joined Functional Lifestyles after having hip surgery and looking for somewhere to work on my mobility. I live close by and would pass FL on my way to work and was intrigued by the name and would see folks working out. From day one, my life changed, my coach Amanda who is amazing, caring and fun! The workouts that that are designed with intention, mobility classes , guidance with my nutrition and a community, I get so much more than any other gym I've joined before, thank you FL! read more

I have been with FL for about a year. As a menopausal woman with previous injuries and other new ones that just spring up from time to time with no reasoning! FL has been great at modifying but also knowing when to push and when to back off. The awesome Mountain View community at FL are inspiring and welcoming. There are a few Coaches that should the small group classes be overwhelming offer 1-1. Coach Carina has been attentive and supportive and helpful as I journey through this period. read more

I have been a member of FL for over a year and have seen the results. The structure of small group classes, with one on one check ins, as well as the community that is built within the classes is unmatched. I am pushed every day to improve and to become stronger. Also, The coaches at the gym inspire all the gym goers to push themself, be safe, and to live a balanced life. Not only is muscle strengthening a focus, but nutrition and sleep are also addressed. I personally have done private training with Amanda, where the sessions were intentional, goal focused, and pushed me to get stronger. I would recommend FL to anyone I meet, as it's one big family. read more

I recently joined Functional Lifestyle, in attempts to live a healthier lifestyle as I edge into "middle-age". I had passed by the gym on El Camino before, saw the intense equipment in the parking lot, and had told myself "not for me". However, I saw that they offered a free consultation, along with 2 free classes and decided to give it a try. After the first consultation, it was brought to my attention that my body was in much worse shape that I had thought it to be in, and I signed up. I have been attending classes twice a week, and working with Coach Hana on lifestyle changes outside of class. While it's still too early to say my life has been changed for the better, I can say I feel stronger and have more energy. It's been one month, and I am starting to see the change in my body (and the scale doesn't lie!) The class is small enough (only 10 people per class with 2 coaches) that I get the attention that my still-pathetic muscles and posture definitely need, but has enough people that I can't find a way out of the workouts. All the coaches carry a wonderful energy, and it rubs off on everybody in the class. We are all sore and tired by the end, but we're smiling and signing up for the next class. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I love Functional Lifestyles! I have been attending consistently since July 2024. The coaches are great! I like the model of six week cycles and the schedule of the classes is very convenient. I love that there is fresh air in the gym and that this is not your regular type of gym. For someone close to 50, it is great to see the variety of ages and fitness levels. More importantly, I have lost weight and I see my body transforming in a great way! read more

I've been going to Functional Lifestyles for a year now, and it's been an amazing experience. I am stronger, fitter, and my body works better because of their emphasis on functional strength, on exercises that require aligning and strengthening the whole chain of joints and muscles. As somebody who turned 50 last year (my trigger for joining a gym), it's never too late to invest in one's own fitness. I love the supportive environment, and that the trainers challenge me to keep pushing myself. read more

I can't say enough good things about my coach, Hana at Functional Lifesytles! From day one, she has been incredibly supportive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me get back on track with my fitness goals. Her deep knowledge and friendly, encouraging approach make every session something I look forward to. She's been amazing at teaching me the right techniques to improve my posture while carefully working around my knee injury and back pain -- always making sure I feel safe, strong, and motivated. I'm truly grateful to have found this place, most of the coaches are friendly and bring a familial vibe. Huge shout out to Coach Drew, Carina & Alvin as well. read more

I've been doing classes (10 people with 2 coaches) at FL for the past 6 months, starting at about 6 months postpartum, and it's been exactly what I needed to rebuild strength, confidence, and consistency. Weekly check-ins with Amanda have been especially helpful in rebuilding my core, and all of the coaches -- Glenn, Amanda, Alvin, Hana, Drew, Carina, and Corey -- bring so much knowledge and care to their coaching. I love the 6-week programming cycles (i.e., you do the same workout on Mondays for a 6-week period) because they're long enough to master the movements and see real strength gains, but varied enough to keep things exciting. They also track what you're lifting and report it back to you each week, so there's no struggle to remember where you left off. But the community is what truly sets FL apart -- they create a super supportive and fun environment where you're competing against yourself week-to-week. I can't imagine training anywhere else! read more

I absolutely love the FL program, coaches, and community! The classes are small, so I get personalized training, attention, and encouragement. The coaches are extremely professional, knowledgable, and friendly in a way that has pushed and motivated me to keep growing. I love that the coaches track my progress and PR's week over week so I don't have to. The equipment is top of the line, and the curriculum is super thoughtful and well planned. I would absolutely recommend FL! read more

Just go! Whatever your health goals, weight training should be a part of it and functional lifestyles is the perfect companion for this. Great coaches, small classes, programs are always changing so you never get bored/aren't challenged. And they work with you on your specific goals so it's very custom and you are well supported. And dogs are welcome - doesn't get better read more

As a person who has struggled with staying consistent in my fitness routine over the years, joining this gym has been a game changer! The coaches are all wonderful and supportive, getting us all motivated to reach our potential. I love the thoughtful programming, and walking in to every class knowing that a great workout has already been planned for me- all I have to do is show up and put in the work, and I'll see the results. The workouts are "functional fitness" based, similar to CrossFit, but with more of a focus on quality of movement than speed or hitting certain numbers at the expense of form. I feel very grateful to be a member of this gym, and for every workout that brings me closer to achieving my fitness goals. Thanks FL!! read more

Fantastic, detail oriented coaches who work with you (either 1:1 or through the small group classes) to improve your strength, mobility and technique. Learned so many new exercises, lifts (including some olympic lifts that look quite daunting from a layman's perspective) and recovery strategies. And the classes are fun and full of energy! I'm the strongest I've ever been. read more

FL is an amazing place! I gained so much confidence in the gym. The coaches are encouraging, attentive, and knowledgeable. The workouts are challenging but the coaches make them FUN. I moved out of the area which is the only reason I had to end my membership. Highly recommend FL!!! read more

This is the best gym and fitness program I have ever experienced. The coaches and semi private instruction is unbeatable; training and coaching is incredibly supportive, individualized, and attentive. I have grown so much in my strength, balance, and knowledge as a member. read more

FL provides the attention you'd receive with a personal trainer but in a group setting, so you're getting that 1:1 guidance and the energy of a class to motivate you. You'll get stronger from the intense workouts but you'll also know how to do them correctly because of the focus on overall mobility and form (my favorite part!) I love this gym and community, highly recommend whether you're someone just starting out on their fitness journey or a more experienced person looking to up their game. read more

10/10!!!! Effective workouts! Fun atmosphere! Great environment and the coaches definitely make the whole experience. Very personable and they make working out fun!!! read more
