Functional Lifestyles - Mountain View, California

I am your typical “in and out of the gym phases” person. I joined a little over a year postpartum. WOW. I’ve lost a great amount of fat, gained a huge amount of muscle and decreased my weight on the scale. But most importantly, I love working out now! At Functional Lifestyles that is.

I’ve had so many ups and downs during this 8 month journey since signing up. All the coaches are extremely helpful and knowledgeable! Amanda has helped me with creating a healthy balance between my workouts and my food, something that is sustainable!!! Not only is she extremely uplifting in our check ins and during her classes, but has some jokes to give during class!

Every coach there has had an impact on me. Glenn and Alvin are also great! They make it a thing to ensure they correct my form or help me get through a set.

Carina, another great coach! Is always there to spot me and push me to get though the rep!

This gym is meat-head free and the coaches are not pretentious at all. All the members are grown professionals who you really grow to love seeing in class! Everyone is welcoming and helpful. You will never feel intimidated. No question is every inappropriate.

FL MV IS A VIBE. Try it! You’ll be hooked. This is the best investment I have made for myself! The community is amazing!

I recently hit my one year anniversary with Functional Lifestyles Mountain View and continue to love and be excited about working out here. I've gone through many phases of fitness over my adult life, including CrossFit in my late 20s/early 30s, but as a 40+ female I wanted to prioritize strength training. But, I knew I wanted to find a gym that also focused on functional movement and safe progressive loading. Corey, the owner and training programmer, knows what he is doing! The system works and I've gained so much strength, mobility, stability, confidence, and muscle mass as well as lose body fat. In addition, his small group classes and coach check-ins help keep you accountable. A bonus is that I've made many friends with both coaches and the fantastic community. Big shout out to Glenn, Alvin, Drew, Carina, and Hana for making our classes fun, engaging, and of course safe and effective. Extra special shout out to Amanda for spot on 1-on-1 coaching to help in my mobility and "target issues" as well as keep me on track and prevent over work and burn out. If you want a gym with a great community, knowledgeable coaches, fun environment, and fantastic strength training, check out Functional Lifestyles!

My 5-month workout journey has been truly rewarding. When I first started, I felt uncertain, but the passionate coaches—Glenn, Alvin, Amanda, and the team—helped me stay on track. Their positive feedback and motivation made a huge difference, and their energy inspired me to keep pushing toward my goals.

Working out with others was equally important. The supportive environment made tough moments easier, and we cheered each other on, which helped me push through limits. There were times I felt exhausted, but the energy from my workout partners kept me going.

Unfortunately, I had to stop because I’m back in Korea, but if I ever return to the U.S., I’ll definitely continue working out there. This experience has taught me that fitness is not just about physical strength—it’s about overcoming challenges and growing together. I look forward to coming back.

Glenn and the team at FL are top notch! I wanted to get into weight training and was worried about injuries, and the team was pretty attentive to form and counseling on muscle imbalances to help me progress in a sustainable way. I also appreciate the functional movement philosophy, and the learning you get from Corey and other coaches on social media. Overall, very grateful for the growth over the past year!

I've been a member of FL for 3 years and it's been a fantastic experience. The gym has helped me get into great shape. The staff is always friendly and helpful, making me feel like part of a welcoming community. I've also been challenged to push my limits and reach new fitness goals. If you're looking for a gym that offers a supportive environment and effective workouts, I highly recommend

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!

I am a NCAA DI and former professional athlete now working in sports, health, and wellness. I am very picky about what workouts I choose to pay for because I’ve been lucky enough to work with some great trainers in the past.

I chose FL when it first opened in Palo Alto because an athlete friend told me about it and it was conveniently located. Loved it. Had to stop over Covid then rejoined when Mountain View opened.

Corey is an exceptional trainer and knows how to build a team and a business. At MV, I’ve worked the most with Glenn, Alvin, and Amanda. I’ve worked with sooo many trainers and when I say these guys are good, these guys are GOOD.

There’s plenty of variety in the programming…sometimes I choose workouts based on my schedule, based on my goals, or based on my energy levels (some days have conditioning, some don’t). The progression of workouts (how we warmup to how we build into strength work) is intelligent. Everything has a reason, and I’m never worried about injury as, due to low coach to participant ratios, there’s always a coach available to help watch my technique or offer modifications where needed.

I always leave FL happy. I’ve made friends within the community. Vibes are immaculate (mostly thanks to Amanda on the aux).

Most importantly, thanks to FL, I have a consistent and regularly healthy outlet to breakup the hustle working full time and being a mom. There is no other gym you should look into. This one is the best of the best you’ll find.

I love working out with the FL team, since the trainers are always supportive, positive, and funny! They give a lot of helpful feedback to help you improve your form and technique, and they also push you to try a little harder each time, which can feel super rewarding/empowering. Having the flexibility of choosing which class times you want for the week has also helped me stay accountable to actually going to the gym. They also track your PRs so you can see yourself improve overtime. Great location, equipment, and gym space.
