I have been going to this gym since August 2023. As soon as I started my fitness journey with Jake, I knew I was in the right place. Every trainer is kind, knowledgeable, and they are there to get you moving! I am so grateful I have a place to go workout, and it's nice bc my daughters go to the ninja warrior class when I do my own workout. You will not regret it!

I highly recommend Functions of Life! The vibes are great at this gym and it is an awesome environment to grind out some workouts. I tell everyone I talk to that they should come to this gym and workout with Matt. He is great at what he does and you can tell he is very passionate and is always looking out for his client’s best interests. I never thought I needed to workout with a trainer until I met Matt and worked out with him. His knowledge and support is unmatched!

My son(age 10) has been working out with Matt for a little over 2 months. I have been thrilled with the progress and confidence he has gained as an athlete in such a short amount of time, and I attribute most of that to Matt.

Matt is always patient, committed to my son’s goals, and makes every workout fun. He is knowledgeable and kind. Matt has gone above and beyond to make sure that my son is getting the skills he needs to workout safely and correctly and developed his athletic skills.

I highly recommend booking a session for your child with Matt and the Functions of Life team.

Highly recommend coming in to train at FOL! I recently moved back to Ohio and had to leave my gym of 7 years behind, but Functions Of Life did not disappoint. I felt at home in no time, this gym has a great atmosphere and everyone is very welcoming. Barbell with Andrew and Arin is my favorite!

Functions of Life isn't merely a gym; it has evolved into a transformative force in my life. The trainers have become an extension of my family, united in our shared pursuit of becoming the best versions of ourselves. One of my initial hurdles was finding the motivation to get up and go, but Mike and his team don't shame you for those moments. Instead, they provide the motivation and support needed to surmount such challenges. The undeniable truth lies in the results. Since joining the Functions of Life family, I not only look better but also feel better, which is a testament to the incredible impact they've had on my journey.

My girls have been going to functions of life for about 3 years now. My girls started in ninja warrior which helped them gain strength while having fun at the same time. They earned ninja bucks and picked out prizes throughout the training session! Now they doing training sessions each week with to help with their agility in playing sports. Our experience at functions of life has been fantastic and I can’t recommend them enough!

FOL is not just for adult fitness. Both of my children (ages 10 & 12) have been going there for 2 years. We started with classes and now do small group and personal training for speed, agility, strength and conditioning training. Both kids have excelled in their respective sports and we have seen less injuries. We’ve worked with multiple trainers (Mike, Holly, Andrew and Aaron) and appreciate each and every one of them and their contributions to our children’s health and fitness.

FoL is by far the absolute best gym in Cleveland. Positive vibes, always. It’s not only just a friendly atmosphere, but we are family. Best classes around that challenge and make you feel your best when you walk out the door.

I have the pleasure of training with Andrew. Andrew is an absolute GEM — he provides the greatest experience all around. His energy, the workouts, his personality. He pushes us to work hard and I always leave his sessions feeling amazing! I live a half hour away, but still make the drive to FoL, as it’s just not the same if I go somewhere else. Andrew is my favorite part of the week.

The entire staff at FoL is just amazing and it’s overall a wonderful place. A must try! You’ll get addicted, I can promise you that! :)

I have been going to FOL for a few years now. One of the best gyms around. It has always been a very welcoming place. Everyone is very supportive, it doesn’t matter if you're brand new to working out or very experienced, this is the place to go. It’s honestly a great place. I do personal training with Andrew; he is a phenomenal trainer. Andrew is very patient, friendly, and encouraging. He has pushed me and shown me how strong I truly am and what I'm capable of. The classes are also great! You really can't go wrong with anything at FOL. Mike the owner runs a great place and has a great team, especially Andrew! I’d HIGHLY recommend checking them out!

Functions of Life is a amazing place for group classes and personal training. I've been attending for 5+ years, and Arin P has been my trainer for more than 2 years. He is always friendly and upbeat (even when he is pushing me to work harder because he knows I can). Arin is effective at motivating both adult and teen athletes. I've seen definite improvements in my strength and body composition since I started working with Arin. My youngest son and I love attending classes together - Boot Camp for me and Ninja Warrior for him. FoL is great for the whole family.

FoL has been an amazing place for my two boys to go get their energy out in Ninja with Coach Mike. He does an amazing job of keeping the kids motivated and accountable by keeping the class fun and engaging. He even motivated me to join in the bootcamp classes with Coach Arin. Those classes have really motivated me to get in better shape and are accessible to people of all fitness levels thanks to Arin's approach to the class.

I'll never forget my first day working out at FoL in January 2021. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and in a good mood. I soon realized after a few weeks of working out here, it was simply just the culture. A bad Monday could quickly get turned around just by walking into FoL no matter how bad I didn't want to train that day. Mike Soster always believed I was stronger than I ever thought I was. His motivation and support has completely transformed not only my body to be stronger than ever, but also my mindset - to truly believe in myself! Mike always checks in to make sure you're on track and to see how you're feeling - you can just tell all of the trainers actually care about their clients here - plus they aren't bad to look at either ;)

Arin is simply amazing! He is very knowledgeable, accommodating and truly a good role model to our two sons. Whenever our sons have an unexpected free day they beg us to see if Arin can squeeze them into his schedule. They would workout at FOL with Arin everyday of the week if their schedules permitted!

FOL is the best gym around for personal training and group classes!! I have been an active member for almost 8 years! Their trainers are always friendly and motivating. I have been doing small group personal training with Arin P for over 6 months and he is fabulous!. He is always in great spirits and makes me want to come to work out before the sun comes up! I also have to give shout outs to Jake, Holly, Andrew and, of course, Mike S (owner) for the training and classes they lead! Highly recommend!!!

I LOVE FOL (Functions Of Life)!! Having been involved in one way or another in the fitness world (as an instructor, personal trainer, all natural body builder on the west coast and a fire fighter) for the past 50 years, I’ve come to know and respect places like Functions Of Life. All one has to do is walk in -or past- one of the large garage bay doors and see their members- males and females-all ages and shapes and sizes EACH hard at work, being uniquely challenged AND— HAVING FUN!!! Each one of the trainers I interacted with at FOL was not only passionate, intensely focused, prepared and skilled, but also clearly cared about and was attentive to each individual. To top it off, FOL was very well appointed and super clean and organized! I would recommend it highly to anyone interested in having fun and improving their current fitness level (no matter where you are right now) and quality of life.
My 15-year-old son just completed an intense group training program at FOL for his 16U travel baseball team led by FOL trainer Brian Alberty. They worked on everything from strength and speed conditioning to core training and, very importantly, did a lot of work around ArmCare. My son loved the program! We plan on doing more work with Brian and would highly recommend him.

My kids started working out at FOL for ninja warrior a few years ago. They loved that it was different and built their confidence. I started working out during their sessions and have increased the classes I take and also do group personal training with Coach Mike & Coach Andrew. Mike is the owner and a great trainer because he is tough & encouraging. I recently started with Coach Andrew for PT and he plans really tough workouts. I appreciate the gym community as well as the friendships I have made there. Highly recommend!

Signing my 16 year old son up for classes at FOL was the BEST decision I have made. Prior to going, my son seemed “stuck”. He had high anxiety, and was struggling with self-confidence. His attitude and demeanor changed greatly for the better after working with the trainers (Thank you Mack and Andrew!!). My son lost 30 lbs.. His self- confidence has increased, and he’s proud of what he has accomplished. What I love best about FOL is that they are not only teaching my son about fitness and staying healthy, but they are inspiring him outside of the gym. My son is setting goals for himself, and creating a plan of how he’s going to reach those goals. He has created a vision board of what he wants in life when he gets older. He is pushing himself to do things that he never thought he could do. I can’t say enough about how awesome FOL and the trainers are. It is truly the BEST training program for the body and the mind!!

Functions of Life is the BEST place to workout. I’ve never felt better about myself or my fitness level. Every trainer there is AMAZING. They push you to your max and encourage you along the way. I mostly take Holly’s classes during the week. She is so motivating and dedicated to her job. As a woman, Holly makes me feel so empowered and strong. I also take Arin, Mike, Andrew, and Leo’s classes. These guys are awesome! They really strive to give you the best workout along with showing you proper form. You will feel so welcomed the second you walk through the doors. I’ve made some of the best friends there too! If you haven’t already, come check them out!

I have been suffering from chronic pain for 2+ years - stopping all exercise and finding no answers from medical professionals. At 34, barely able to make it through a full day of work was frustrating. I started the bootcamp classes about a week ago and my body feels stronger than ever. I truly can't believe it myself! Trainers, facilities and equipment are top notch. I am so glad to have found Functions of Life!
