Reviews of Functional Patterns Kelowna (Gym)

Wilmari Dawson

Real people, real results. Functional Patterns Kelowna is real, the people are real and the results are real. You work one on one with a trainer that not only teaches you the functional way but also practices what he preaches. His results are real. Spending most of his life as a professional hockey player and working with various trainers and trying various methods of training that didn't provide pain management or teach healing and rebuilding for a healthy life that provides pain free living. Willie retired from hockey and took on a journey to live pain free and provide that for his community. Teaching his clients how to train intentionally and how to move with out pain. Helping his clients gain confidence, rebuild their bodies to function properly through day to day life. Willie is Kelownas Functional Patterns Human Bio Mechanics Specialist. He speaks the truth, he teaches with intention and the results show.

I train virtually with Will and he is excellent. At first I was skeptical how it would work remotely, but he erased all doubt after our first session. He sees the ways my movement has created problems for me and gives me actionable ways to fix it that I can understand. His feedback and advice are empowering me to solve painful issues I’ve had for years that chiropractors, osteopaths, and physical therapists failed to resolve. I feel better, look better, am calmer, and have more energy after just a short time training online with him. Highly recommend!

I have been training with Willie at Functional Patterns Kelowna for 18 months and my results have been amazing. When I was a teenager I had a lumbar laminectomy. Over time, I began to suffer from tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, lower back pain, tight hamstrings, and experienced a knee injury in summer 2018. Training my body to move properly has made me feel stronger than I ever have - both physically and mentally. Willie has helped me live without pain when all other practitioners told me to just accept my new normal. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and have trained with Willie all through my pregnancy using adjusted techniques to ensure all the movements I am doing are safe. I am still training every week and have not had a single day with back pain during my entire pregnancy!

I have been fairly sedentary for about a year and was looking to get back on track with my strength and conditioning. As a physiotherapist and someone who has had multiple injuries in the past, I was looking to work with someone who understands human movement. My experience with Will has been great. He has been very clear and thorough in his explanations and is overall very patient and supportive. Although it has only been eight sessions and done entirely virtually, I am already reaping the benefits of FP training. I have developed a new awareness of my body, and am clearer about areas I can and need to improve. I am excited to continue this new way of training with the guidance of Will.

Will Coetzee is a great trainer, Functional Patterns is a phenomenal place. I had L1 break with a spinal cord injury, I’m 18 months post surgery. I was unable to walk when I went to Will and after only 10 sessions with him I’m able to walk small distances on my own with no assistance. The functional Patterns chambers that Will puts me through are tough but amazing. The exercises are awakening the muscles I haven’t had since my injury occurred. I highly recommend this place for anyone with an injury that’s looking to function better. Thanks for everything Will. Shane Ferguson

Willie is a hardworking and dedicated trainer who wants only the best for his clients. He does not stop or give up until he is satisfied with your progress. He is simply the best you get out there.

I have been training with Will for 8 months now and I could not give a high enough recommendation. I came in with low back pain and poor hip mobility from when I played Rugby. After training with Will my back pain is gone, I have increased hip mobility and my gait cycle for long distance running is vastly improved.

Will at FP Kelowna is incredibly knowledgeable in what he does. I worked with him virtually and he was able to pick up on things better than others in person. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone in need of improving their movement and/or getting out of pain

first off I'm not looking to blow smoke there's nothing really bad that I could say about my experience so here it is. I did the one week intensive course because I was coming from Calgary. I've had back pain for 7 years or more I'm a very fit guy but it got to the point where I couldn't bend over to pick something up without getting on my knees. I have been watching functional patterns on YouTube and Instagram for a couple of months and trying to copy the movements it was definitely helping like really helping but I found that I was hurting myself constantly. When I started my week off with Will I quickly found out that it was doing everything wrong like really wrong lol and was going to hurt myself and cause worse dysfunctions if I don't do it properly. Will started taking me through the steps so I dident miss anything he put me on the treadmill and he broke down my running gait for me and you could really see why I have all the problems. had some great progress in my physical ailments. It was very frustrating and hard work and will dose a great job pushing me through it. Will has really dedicated himself to functional patterns and becoming obsessed with helping people achieve a pain free lifestyle. I'm going to be signing up for online classes as soon as I can put the money together. Thank you Will for working with me. If you have pain in your body or anxiety ect Will is the man to consult with he's very open-minded and driven by results. and one of the few functional patterns practitioners in Canada. Once I learned a little bit about functional patterns I understood that the founder has a very very hi expectation for its practitioners and Will did not disappoint. A recap iv been back in Calgary for a few months now and practicing what Will showed me everyday, and I now have zero lower back pain, it's been really kind of blowing my mind after years of pain I worked a week straight doing heavy labor, and at the end of the day I was tired but my lower back was rock solid, something I never dreamed of. Just super happy don't even know what to say besides thank you

I have been training with Functional Patterns methods since 2 years now and training with Willie has been a game changer for me. He got a distinct ability to identify weaknesses and dysfunctions on the biomechanics. My time with Willie has been an investment for my knowledge, health and personnal growth. If you are in Kelowna’s area and want to improve your health and become a better human, that’s a must go. He even gave me some homework so I can continu to improve my condition on my side. Thanks again for those sessions Willie, that was awesome! If I come back in the area, I’ll sure hit you up!

I came to FP Kelowna expecting to learn about what issues were causing my knee and back pain and how to work on them but I left after my one week intensive feeling like a new person. Will was super knowledgeable and easy to work with, he made sure I got the most out of the short time I had with him. He took time to explain everything thoroughly and in a way so you could remember things when you were working on your own. I look forward to continuing to work on what I have learned and learning new things going forward from Will. I would highly recommend FP Kelowna to anyone who wants to work towards feeling their best and living a pain free life.
