Sherman was so helpful in keeping me mobile and flexible while marathon training. I came in with persistent tendinitis in my knees that were preventing me from getting in the mileage I wanted. He prescribed strength and mobility exercises to prevent it from happening again. I also did 30m flexibility sessions every other week that kept me on my feet and in good shape for the race. I can’t thank the F&F team enough for helping me reach my training goals!

I’m so glad Fit & Functional was recommended to me! It’s exactly what I was looking for. The owner and all the trainers are so respectful and encouraging of where each individual is on their fitness journey— and what their ultimate goals are. I look forward to my workouts every week :)

Jervan a terrific trainer – friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable. When I met him and Sherman nearly a year ago, I was 35 pounds heavier and still taking insulin for my diabetes. Now – I feel good! My left shoulder, which I had surgery on in 2022, has range of motion again! Your facility has allowed me to enjoy exercise anew. I would recommend Fit and Functional to anyone.

This now 64 yr-old has gone to FF Midtown in the early am hours 2x a week for about 7 years now. It's a small gym but plenty of equipment and nice treadmills. You can choose individualized training sessions or work with a very small group, and you can choose your own music to work out to. I truly have enjoyed each of the trainers. First was Sherman, then Darius, then Nigel and now Jervan. They adjust your workout depending on your goals and how you feel that day. The Midtown FF has a nice shower, which is perfect to use before heading into work. I enjoy supporting this local business.

I've been seeing the trainers here for over 6 months and I have made so much progress with regaining my balance, strength, and confidence after my foot injury. All of the trainers are wonderful and I am so happy that I found this place! They do a great job of motivating me without pushing me past my limits, and always accommodating for whatever is bothering me that week.

I have been in the Core 7 Performance with my trainer , Jervon, since January. My doctor recommended I work on my strength and balance to improve my health.
I first worked with Sherman, the Fit and Functional owner 10+ years ago. My experience ,then , and now has been excellent. My trainer makes certain I work effectively and safely to improve my core strength, balance and muscle strength.
As I approach 70 this year, I know it is an essential part of my health journey to strengthen my body safely. The Core performance process is designed to do just that.

These guys are amazing. They have succeeded helping my chronic back problem when no one else could. I had tried 3 other therapies. They fixed a problem I did not know I had -- balance. I was shocked to learn how bad my sense of balance was. Fit and Functional has improved my ability to keep my balance 100% which is critical for seniors like me to prevent falls. They tailor your session to your limits and needs. They never ask you to do something that might hurt you. I highly recommend them.

Last year I decided that I needed to focus on core and balance especially since I am closing in on 80! My objective was to live my best life for myself and my adult children. The training is professional and individualized depending on your needs.

So thankful for Fit & Functional! I started with Private Rehab sessions with Sherman to aid in recovery from a back surgery and later joined Small Group Sessions with Jervan. I ride and compete horses, so a team that was committed to improving my balance and stability was crucial to my recovery. The facility is always clean and organized and the staff is encouraging and knowledgeable - So much so that now my husband is joining for rehab on his leg and lower back.

I will be 76 this year and work out at Fit & Functional three times a week. When I began more than seven years ago, my top goal was to be able to get off the floor without crawling to a chair to lift myself up plus I needed more flexibility and coordination. I feel fifty years younger, my arthritis doesn't bother me, and I'm able to do almost anything. A fantastic investment. My doctor is impressed. I look forward to my workout sessions with Jervan. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

I have been working out with Sherman for at least 10 years. I consider him a friend as well as my trainer. He always knows exactly what I need to do to help my body be more flexible. When I am out of town for extended periods of time, I can’t wait to get back & get into an exercise routine. I highly recommend FIT & FUNCTIONAL!!

I've been working with Sherman for 6 months, focusing on developing my core strength and balance, flexibility, and a consistent routine for exercise. He has helped me develop a plan in response to osteoporosis as well as recovering from a traumatic bone break. Sherman is knowledgeable and supportive and I really appreciate his guidance as I work to prioritize my health!

After breaking my ankle and suffering related physical problems with balance and my back, I started training at Fit & Functional in January 2013. Sherman and Jenn have provided expert guidance and encouragement resulting in greater progress than I could have imagined. My core strength and balance are better than before my fall and my back no longer is a limitation on my mobility. Personal attention and commitment to successful outcomes are central to the every day mission of Fit & Functional.
UPDATE 2024!
I’m still benefiting in countless ways from my twice weekly 45 minute sessions at Fit & Functional after 11 1/2 years. While I walk 2-3 miles at a decent pace several days a week for aerobic endurance, it’s not enough to keep me healthy. Working on muscle strength, balance, and flexibility helps me in so many other ways. Sherman and his trainers encourage, support, personalize, and push just hard enough. The midtown facility is the perfect size; I don’t feel lost in the crowd. There’s such a fun, social vibe, too. It’s much better and cheaper than taking a ton of pain meds and orthopedic surgery.

I’ve been working out here with Sherman and Jervan for a year and their personalized training has turned my life around. When I started, I was too weak and in pain to work out at a regular gym. Now I feel 10 years younger and it has been the best gift I’ve ever given myself. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging, including the other clients. The staff is amazingly knowledgeable and the workouts are actually really fun. They have 1000 ways to strengthen your core and balance while building muscle and flexibility. The different equipment keeps it interesting and engaging. I look forward to my workouts every week, I’m seeing the results I want, and I don’t ever plan on going back to a regular gym. This is a great place and I’m recommending it to all of my friends in their 40s and up. Do this for yourself!

I was referred to Sherman by my physician and it was best decision I’ve made in a long time. Wasn’t always easy but working with Sherman at Fit & Functional gave me my quality of life back. I was in constant pain, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t exercise and could barely stand in the kitchen long enough to microwave a meal.
I now have minimal pain, have gotten back into my walking program and continue to increase my speed and reduce time/mile. I’m able to enjoy my grandkids on a new level and enjoying having my life back. So much thanks and appreciation to Sherman for getting me through some tough physical issues!

I saw an orthopedic doctor and had an MRI for knee pain. The evaluation and results were inconclusive but the pain still existed. At the recommendation of a friend, I scheduled an appointment with Sherman. After my first stretch session I felt relief. He has given me exercises to do prior to participating in my sports activities and daily stretches. He listened and took the time to understand my pain and work with me towards a solution.

I joined Fit & Functional 4 months ago and have been extremely happy with my results. As an avid runner, I needed guidance to help me with my muscular imbalance and train all my non-running muscles. I started meeting with Sherman twice a week for 30-minute personal training sessions. Sherman continually pushes me to meet my goals and I have noticed a huge improvement in my running form and in my overall strength and balance. I have been to many gyms around Tallahassee over the years and the quality of training and support that I receive at Fit & Functional is the best.

I went in extremely nervous as I had never felt comfortable in a gym before, but everyone was so kind and patient in working with me even as they pushed me each session. Those sessions were a welcome challenge and I am so much better because of it. Thanks Sherman and AuCare! I recommend Fit and Functional to anyone who wants to work on their fitness and health.

I have found F&F to be well managed and an excellent gym. I always feel welcome and valued as a member. The gym is always clean, orderly, and pleasant. The staff is professional, cordial, sensitive to my training needs, and helpful to me—always! No problems experienced at all.
I like the smaller and positive atmosphere and the expertise of the trainers and staff. Sherman expertly assessed my baseline level before I started. Jervan utilized baseline information to effectively and efficiently plan routines that cover all Core 7 areas and target the areas that need attention most. He is knowledgeable and flexible, and appropriately challenges me to achieve my goals. I highly recommend Fit and Functional and Jervan.
I look forward to going to Fit and Functional.

Two and a half years ago I broke my left femur/hip in an accident. After hip surgery and being in and out of physical therapy, I found myself unable to exercise and intimidated by any large amounts of physical activity. On top of this, I also have Type One Diabetes which furthered my complications and anxiety around working out. Luckily, I came across Fit and Functional and they met me right where I was. They listened to my concerns and understood where my weaknesses were. They created a routine and schedule that worked for what was best for me. My trainer, AuCare, is encouraging and tailors my exercises to what my body needs. She listens to me and how I am feeling. If I need to stop and stretch, we stretch. AuCare has helped me gain confidence in my body and mind when it comes to fitness and exercise. I am finally feeling excited and looking forward to exercise and physical activity again!

More importantly, this gym focuses on safely reaching your goals, with an integrated stretching session with every training. Owner and office staff are also very friendly. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend checking this place out.

I loved the individual and personal approach of the workouts. I'm a year-round swimmer so Sherman (trainer) was able to tailor the exercises specifically for swimming and structure the workouts around my meet/training schedule. The progression of the difficulty of exercises was challenging but manageable. Each exercise was creative and engaging. Staff was super friendly.

I trained with Sherman, and occasionally some other staff, and loved every minute of it. Sherman is very knowledgeable and the entire staff is a blast to work out with. I am an avid runner with a number of chronic injuries from my past and he was able to work around them and also help address some issues. They do an amazing job of customizing the workouts for people with limitations and beginner status as well as elite athletes like myself. I went here for several months and would recommend it to anyone of any skill set or age.

I have been a client of Fit and Functional for 12+ years. My main goal at the time I joined was to achieve a level of fitness that would keep me toned and in shape. Now, at 62 years of age, I feel better than I ever have. Not only does Sherman and his staff work on strength training, they also incorporate balance and core exercises that keep me feeling strong and in control. My balance and stability have improved and it has given me confidence in continuing a high level of activity as I age.

I began training at Fit & Functional around 10 weeks ago after undergoing a microdiscectomy for a herniated disc. I see Sherman for 30 minute private sessions twice a week, & I feel stronger than I have felt in years! I have been to a couple physical therapists around town for my back issues & Sherman is by far the best. He is extremely knowledgeable & makes every session different & fun! He pushes me to work hard on days when I am not feeling my best, and I really appreciate that. I have never been a huge fan of “working out” but Sherman has helped me to enjoy it & to look forward to my sessions. I am so proud of my progress – all thanks to Fit & Functional!

Ever since, before international expeditions I return to him to ensure that I am in tone and in shape.

After my failed foot surgeries in 2016, I struggled to get motivated to run again. I've always been a pretty healthy and active person, but everything hurt my feet so I pretty much gave up on running and most fitness altogether. I had surgery again and decided that this time I wasn't going to let my feet get in the way of my health. I hobbled into Fit & Functional while I was still in a cast and told Sherman I needed help gaining strength and getting fit again. I started working with him in the following weeks, surgical boot and all. My left leg was extremely weak, but I slowly began to see improvement. Two months later, I gained enough strength in my leg and joined the Core 7 program. The workouts are challenging but fun and the trainers are motivating. Despite being unable to run and jump since I began my fitness journey, there's been noticeable progress. I feel more energized, motivated, and confident. Most of all, I actually enjoy working out!

I have been working out with Fit and Functional for two years starting with Core 7 and gradually moving my focus to the reformer. I love the individual training, the small classes and the flexibility Sherman and Chantell have with their clients. As a 42 year-old working mom of three busy kids (that travels a lot), for years I found excuses NOT to workout. I’m not a person who ever had to workout before to stay slim and am not athletic however after the birth of my third child and hitting my 40’s, my joints were killing me, weight was coming on that I’d not seen before and I was so unhappy with the fluffy person I saw in the mirror. I tried several bigger gyms and popular, trendy classes and really didn’t enjoy them, but then I found Fit and Functional. I’ve lost that fluffy look, I’ve gained visible muscles I’ve never had before and my joints feel so much better. But the BEST thing is, I’ve truly found a gym that works for me and that I love. Thank you to Sherman, Chantell and the staff at F&F for challenging me and helping me find something I really enjoy in working out (finally)!

There really are no proper words to adequately explain what personal training with Sherman has done for my life. I came to him shy, awkward, completely unsure of myself and also with a serious medical condition (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome) that my surgeon was convinced needed major surgery to correct. He allowed me to try physical therapy before surgery but told me it wouldn’t help. 7 months and a second opinion at Mayo Clinic later, I don’t need surgery and I feel better than I have in my entire life. My TOS isn’t 100% cured but it’s SO much better than it was when I started. Being at Fit & Functional has done so much more than make me a healthier version of myself. It has turned me into a completely different person…someone I’ve always wanted to be but was too shy to figure out how to get it done. I’m now exercising, in some form, every day of the week and went on an incredibly difficult hike for the first time ever. I’m truly looking forward to continuing my training with everyone at Fit & Functional as they are all becoming like family to me. Sherman, thank you for what you do. You changed my life in ways you’ll never be able to understand. I’m forever grateful. Thank you.

The Core 7 program at Fit & Functional has improved my health and dramatically over the last two years.

Following a fall, broken arm, and herniated disks in my neck a few years ago I was in constant pain and unable to do even the simplest exercises, much less have full quality of life. Physical therapy released me when the numbness in my hands was relieved, but I was still in constant pain and unable to live my life as I had prior to the accident. Sherman and his team at Fit and Functional are so knowledgeable, respectful, and caring. They have slowly built my body strength back, and my pain is rare now! What a gift. I can see muscle tone and feel the confidence in my body again. I can carry my grandchildren, hike, play, kayak, and all of the things I did before the accident. All things I had begun to fear I would never be able to do again. What a gift! I highly recommend Fit and Functional for everything from post rehab like I needed, to simply learning how to get back in shape, or to training for higher level athletic achievements. Sherman has the knowledge to train and lead you. What are you waiting for?

Let me just preface this by saying that I am possibly the least self-motivated person alive when it comes to working out. Before starting sessions at Fit and Functional, it was hard for me to keep with a routine of working out and eating healthy because I didn't see the point in doing such, without seeing any results. Within a few weeks of working out with Sherman at F&F, it finally "clicked" for me; I had finally found a routine that worked for me and that I actually looked forward too. Whereas before I was just working out to lose weight, now it has become a lifestyle change for me, and something I can see myself doing for the rest of my life. Working out has finally become habitual to me, and that is all because of Sherman and the rest of the staff at Fit and Functional. Their attitudes and focus on each individual client has really made all the difference for me and my journey to create a healthy lifestyle change.

After rescheduling me twice, I finally got in to get my massage. I didn't actually get a massage, however. I got an hour long dissertation on pseudo-science, told that the therapist doesn't use pressure because stretching is better, and then made to do active stretches and actual exercises. All I wanted was a relaxation massage! I left feeling more stressed and tense then when I got there.

Sherman has been my trainer since before he opened Fit and Functional. I may be his oldest client in terms of both customer/trainer relationship and age of client. So that, and the fact that I have worked with a few other trainers over the years, makes me feel qualified to evaluate his skills. I can unreservedly say that Sherman is the best. As my needs have changed over the years, my workouts have changed. We have evolved from strictly bone-building weight-bearing exercises to include many balance exercises, which is very important in preventing falls. Sherman is diligent about varying the exercises so his clients don't get bored. And he works hard to stay on top of his profession. I've joked that I can tell when he's been to another clinic or seminar because of the weird new exercise he wants me to try. As good as he is, there's one thing he hasn't been able to get me to appreciate: aerobic exercise! I still hate it!! (But I'm working on it a little.)

I have been with Fit & Functional for 15 years. When I initially started my goal was strictly weight loss. I didn't believe I could build muscle at age 49 and my plan was to do it for 6 months. Well, 15 years later I am pleased to say did loose the weight prior to 6 months and strengthened my muscles and bone mass. I have maintained the same dress size for the past twelve years and I look and feel great. I'm not the type of person to stick with the same routine for a long time, I tend to get bored once I've reached my goal. That's not the case at Fit & Functional, Sherman, Bill and Jen are always there for me, changing the routine and offering new challenges.
THANKS FIT & FUNCTIONAL!

Their fitness plans and goals are suited for any body type, fitness level, and age. I did not join F&F with a weight loss goal in mind, but instead joined to hopefully become stronger, build endurance and just feel healthier overall!! Not only has Sherman and his staff help me achieve all of above, but being a part of the Fit & Functional family has me looking forward each week to what his workouts will have in store for me and how great they have made me feel!

My experience at Fit and Functional with Sherman has been very positive. As an older, overweight woman I did not think I would be able to do anything but Sherman has patiently and consistently worked with me by encouraging me and slowing increasing the difficulty as he felt I could handle it. If you think you are a lost cause, don't give up. Give Sherman a try. You will be delighted with the results!

I have never been able to stick with a fitness/wellness plan for very long, but I tried Fit and Functional 18 months ago and have been challenged and committed ever since. The trainers customize a workout that suits my needs. Different from most programs, the trainers offer personal stretching at the end of every session, which really makes a difference.

I came in yesterday for a massage I purchased through Groupon. I was looking forward to being relaxed and having the tension in my neck worked out. In actuality, I came away from the massage more tense than when I went in. Nick Nicholson, the therapist, completely ignored my request to work mostly on my neck, which is what gives me the most trouble. I also mentioned the tendonitis in my right arm. Nick proceeded to massage my STOMACH, while talking the whole time and telling me how to breathe. I was not able to just relax; he kept correcting my breathing. I did not need, nor did I want a stomach massage! As for breathing, I have been on this earth for quite a few years...I don't need to pay someone to teach me to breathe.
The one area I specifically said I didn't want to have touched was my throat. He ignored this and made me terribly uncomfortable by massaging it, even after I said, again, I do not like to have this area massaged.
He finally gave my neck some attention...the last 5 minutes of the session, but it really did nothing to alleviate my tension and pain.
This whole experience left me angry and tense...the complete opposite of what a massage should do. Usually a massage is so relaxing that I don't want it to end. I could not wait for this one to end. It was awful. Additionally, this therapist talked the whole time about his life and what brought him to massage and kept asking me questions. I honestly don't care about what made him come to massage or his philosophies on life...and I did not want to be interrogated while trying to relax
I am so disgusted with the whole experience and the money that I wasted on it. I have contacted Groupon for a refund for the other massage I purchased for Fit and Functional for my husband. I am certainly not putting him through this.

I purchased a groupon deal for a massage here at a very reasonable price. However, it was a very unpleasant experience. I have had therapeutic massages several times at different places and this was the worst experience I've had. The therapist said he would be performing a "relaxation massage," but it was extremely painful and I laid there grimacing and waiting for it to be over. After telling the therapist that I did not like him massaging my throat, as it made me feel like I was being choked, he continued to do it and asked if "maybe I was imagining it." After another minute or two of me grimacing and saying "I'm not enjoying this at all," he finally switched and worked on the area I had requested in my pre-massage consultation. My mom had a massage with the same therapist the day before and had a very similar/unpleasant experience. We both previously bought extra massage groupons for our husbands to use and subsequently cancelled them.

After much procrastination and with much whining, I began two-per-week sessions at Fit & Functional just over two years ago. The whining is long over and I look forward to my sessions because I know I'll feel good afterward, be proud of my accomplishments (primarily increased strength), and because I'm doing something good for myself and my family. The F&F staff is superb at knowing my strengths and limitations and sensing how much to push on a given day. This is the best ongoing investment I've ever made.

I had reached a plateau in my weight and fitness level where my regular exercise routine of classes and walking just wasn't doing it for me any longer. I decided for the first time ever to sign up for a personal trainer in order to "jump-start" my workouts and hopefully, make some progress. I joined Fit & Functional and workout with Sherman three times a week. I love it! Every session is different from the previous session and time passes so fast--it's never boring! It is customized for my age and fitness level. I don't have to worry about adjusting the equipment to the right settings; I don't worry about whether I'm working out "all the right muscle groups"; I don't even worry about occasional issues with my lower back or knees---Sherman will adjust the routines and I always get a great workout! In one month, I lost 6% in body fat and 1 inch on my waist. I'm very encouraged! I would definitely recommend Fit & Functional to anyone!

My daughter gave me two gift workouts for Christmas and I loved it. I have been a regular since May now and it has helped me feel better. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing some direction in their workouts. This is my wife Pat's computer but this review is from Bill Brueckheimer

I utilize the massage option at Fit & Functional. The therapist is very good, and will apply deep tissue massage strongly if you require or request it. She is personable and has always been truly interested in my well-being. The massage room is at the back of the facility, so I never hear noises from the various fitness machines and devices. I have tried several massage options in town and F&F's massage offering is one of the best I have found.
Rates are reasonable. Appointment times are adequate, and you can usually schedule a massage at a mutually convenient time.
I have not used the exercise equipment, but I have observed the staff working with their clients, and they appear to be genuinely involved, watching how the clients do the repetitions, offering suggestions and encouragement. This is not a large facility, which is a factor in its favor. You do not get the feel you are being herded through a fitness factory. Instead, you feel you are part of a caring and engaged group of professionals.
Give Fit & Functional a try and I think you'll be glad you did.

Sherman, Bill, and Fit and Functional has been great for me. They always work around the time I have to exercise. They actually care about how I am doing and how I can improve. They also have the best massages in town!

I began my experience with Sherman and his team back in 2008. I was hitting the reset button in my life on balance and wellness and they were there to help me get rolling again! Although my degree is in Health & Exercise Science, and I can say that I "know" what I should have been doing...there is an element of accountability that's necessary for success when establishing healthier habits and replacing the bad ones! From personal training, to group classes, massage therapy and nutritional counseling, Sherman and his team helped get me back on track!

I started with the Group Fit exercise class at noon three days per week & realized I needed more one on one help. I have been working out with Sherman for about 8 months now & I have never felt better. Not only is he helping me with an exercise program, he is also helping me with nutrition. He is very knowledgeable about fitness, diet and health and has helped me a great deal. I would certainly recommend Fit & Functional to anyone who is looking to better their body through exercise & nutrition.
