1. What is Functional Elements? 

Functional Elements Training & Nutrition is a private training facility located in Creve Coeur, MO. We offer personal, one-on-one program design and training programs as well as small group training sessions we call Micro Group Training. Our training team of coaches are both university degreed and certified. We want to be your personal wellness coach, and we believe we have the expertise, experience and education to make a difference. 

2. What makes Functional Elements different? 

Three things separate Functional Elements Training & Nutrition from other personal training options: 

i) We TRAIN FOR LIFE, meaning we address a client's individualized goals (weight loss, strength, toning, fat loss, skeletal muscle mass, etc) with highly personalized program design that is filtered through an overall objective of mobility and movement. (Balance, mobility, stability)

ii) Our COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH. Results require a three-pronged approach of training, nutrition and recovery. With a registered/licensed dietitian on staff, we offer clients the opportunity to strategically pair their training/goals with the right food approach, with a special focus on recovery and the importance of what is also happening BETWEEN workouts. 

iii) The FE COMRADERIE. We carefully crafted Functional Elements into a place where the camaraderie between trainer and clients is like family. A place where we can work hard and still have fun. And a place where there is no judgement - just a strategic game plan to keep improving, one step at a time.
