What is Functional Patterns?

Founded in 2006 by CEO Naudi Aguilar, Functional Patterns is a globally recognized training methodology. Our team is comprised of practitioners certified directly by Naudi through his international seminars. We believe Functional Patterns stands as the industry leader in fitness, a claim supported by the transformative results achieved by practitioners worldwide.

We address a critical modern health crisis: the physiological imbalances caused by our misalignment with nature. As society has shifted away from natural movement patterns toward sedentary sociocultural norms, our physical capabilities have suffered. Functional Patterns aims to correct these imbalances and restore optimal human movement.

How do we find balance in today’s world with all the dysbiosis that surrounds us?
It’s simple. Our adaptability to the natural environment determines our health. The better balanced we are with nature, the longer and stronger we live. For humans, this means bringing us back to the beneficial aspects of our evolutionary blueprint that made us healthy to begin with.

The Blueprint

There’s an evolutionary blueprint to all organisms, and Functional Patterns has been cracking the code in human movement for nearly 15 years. Resulting from tens of thousands of hours in testing, we have pioneered the FP methodology, syncing the physics of our natural environment to our health better than any other system out there. Our conclusion has been to train humans according to their biological movement characteristics: Standing, Walking, Running, and Throwing.

By optimising these four human functions, achieving better health is not a gamble, but an inevitability. This is what it means to train Functional Patterns.
