Function Better Fitness

I’ve been Dave Fatula’s client for a year — since December 2014. I am very picky about whom I work with and Dave has exceeded my expectations in every way. He is knowledgeable, creative, committed — and fun. Best of all, as a 52-​year old woman with very specific physical strengths and weaknesses, the Functional Fitness system Dave developed and the customization he offers has enabled me to quickly and safely increase my muscle mass and improve my stability and mobility. I’ve tried strength training at home on my own, generic workouts at the gym, various boot camps — and all were short-​lived and demoralizing experiences. Working with Dave, I look forward to my twice weekly sessions and always leave feeling energized in body and fantastically calm in mind. As for the integrative bodywork he incorporates into each session, I was admittedly a skeptic at first of its value, but I soon became a believer. It is that extra element that pulls it all together. Perhaps the biggest proof of my high level of satisfaction in Dave’s services is that six months ago, I persuaded my husband to start working with him as his mild back pain became severe. Thankfully, soon after he started a regular program with Dave, he became pain-​free, and now is regular client as well. We both consider our sessions to be an extremely worthwhile investment in our current and future health and happiness and expect to be clients who benefit from Dave’s expertise on fitness and natural coaching talent for years to come. I would give him ten stars if I could!

Dave is simply the best, most knowledgeable and caring body therapist I have ever encountered. His techniques get to the core of your issue, whether it be discomfort, limited range motion, or pain and immobility. I have studied and been an avid seeker of body work for better body mechanics through years of yoga, pilates, all massage techniques, chiropractic, gym workouts, sports, etc. and Dave has increased my flexibility, strength and balance faster and to a higher degree than I’ve achieved before. As a fit woman in her mid 60’s, Dave understands fitness and flexibility so well, he can and will take you to the next level. I’m looking forward to decades of «function better fitness.» I am confident in Dave and will always refer clients and friends to him, as I know he can help everyone.

I saw Dave for some integrative boadywork after having horribal back pain that made me miss work. I was unable to even pick up my 15 month old son. After one session I felt 100% better and the next morning I awoke to no pain at all. I was skeptic at first but the results amazed me. I have seen him a few times now and have refered other friends to him who had the same results.
