FP Melbourne

Pete’s story of pain and how he was able to get himself out of it using FP. Pete’s mindset and circumstances drove his unwavering commitment to fixing his body. He followed the movement elimination protocol and dietary recommendations to a tee and kept very consistent with his training regimen. A perfect example of Fp working for those who choose to commit to it. Couldn’t ask for a better client to train.

Before FP
• Chronic lower and mid back pain for 3 years following an L5-S1 bulging disc injury from rowing in January 2021
• Constant daily pain averaging 6/10
• Could only stand for around 15 minutes before severe pain
• Relied on codeine, 6 Panadols and 6 Nurofens daily just to function and get through work
• Forced to work from home and give up plans to work overseas
• Couldn’t train, socialise properly, or enjoy weekends with family and friends
• Travelled to London six months before starting FP and had to heavily medicate just to survive the flight due to the pain
• Consulted 37 different practitioners including surgeons and high-end physiotherapists who worked with celebrities, but found no lasting relief and was repeatedly told he would likely have to live with the pain

After FP
• Started Functional Patterns training in January 2024
• After 6 months of twice-weekly sessions, completely stopped regular pain medication
• Pain reduced from a constant 6/10 to 0/10
• Can now comfortably sit, stand, and regularly work 12-14 hour days without pain
• Six months after the painful London flight, completed the exact same trip with no pain at all
• Was finally able to pursue his lifelong goal of travelling and working abroad
• Has regained the ability to exercise, work properly, socialise, and enjoy life again
• Continues his training online today while living overseas with a significantly improved quality of life

RG Bar Class starting June 18th. This is the second intake of our 6 week progression and there’s already a few people on the list. We’re capping the class at 6 participants to keep the coaching and cueing as accurate as possible.

The RG Bar is designed to improve rotational strength, coordination, core integration, posture, balance, and force transfer through movement. The goal is to teach your body to work together as one connected system rather than isolating muscles. 

The class is beginner to intermediate friendly, with progressions scaled week by week to build people up properly.

KNEE PAIN AND POSTURE RESULTS

Our client Troy has been putting in the work to get on top of his knee pain that couldn’t be remedied using traditional means. This guy goes hard in the paint and has been a model client during the process. Eliminating other forms of training, holding to the dietary protocols and training hard in his own time.

Troy’s words: “Before starting FP I had done traditional weight training for years (bench press, chin-ups, deadlifts, squats etc) and also trained to run a marathon. I had occasional issues with my back when working out and extreme pain in my knees when I ran too much. I went to the osteo a couple times for my knees which helped ease the pain temporarily but would just get worse every time I ran, as I wasn’t addressing the root cause. By the end of the marathon I was in agony and knew I had to make a change to my exercise routine.

I began 1:1 training at FP as well as following their 10-week online course. Just over 12 months later, I feel like my life has completely changed. My posture has improved dramatically, I never get any pain or discomfort with my movements and I have a much better understanding of how my body and biomechanics works.

I feel like my body moves in a way that is much more aligned with how humans are supposed to move based on our evolutionary biology, and as a result I’m finding many unexpected flow-on benefits. I can breathe better, digest food easier and my baseline mental state is much better, along with many other subtle but impactful changes. FP takes a completely different approach to any other training programs I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a lot) and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their physical (or mental) state.”

Our 6-week group classes run every Wednesday evening and consistently sell out each block.

Open to all levels, from no experience through to intermediate. We focus on the fundamentals of standing, walking, running and throwing, building an understanding of how to organise tension in the body so movement becomes more efficient.

The next block starts 22 April and is already half booked. Run by
