HEAR FROM MY CLIENTS
“Working with Fatin for the past six months has been life-changing & transformative to say the least. From the very first session, It was easy to recognize Fatin's unwavering commitment to listening and asking the right questions which led to her tailoring our sessions accurately to my own goals. Her ability to customize sessions is a testament to her vast & varied knowledge in the field of functional training. Our training is not only physical but also mental as we focus on correct technique & muscle activation.
Fatin is genuinely involved in my wellbeing and ensures that she is present outside our sessions for any concerns I could have regarding my training. Within just the first few sessions together, I noticed significant progress towards my goals.
Fatin exhibits a high level of professionalism & reliability. Along with these essential qualities, Fatin is also welcoming, kind, patient, & supportive. She celebrates my accomplishments as her own & pushes me to keep working towards my goals.
I always come out of our sessions with a renewed appreciation for the work we are doing & eagerly await the next ones. In an industry that can be toxic at times to one's wellbeing, Fatin is a breath of fresh air. Her impact in my journey towards addressing & fixing my dysfunctions is immeasurable.
Working with Fatin is not only a fruitful investment in one's physical health but also one's mental health. I recommend anyone looking to improve their overall health to work with Fatin & start reaping the life-long benefits.”

“I have been utilizing the Functional Patterns methodology since May of 2023. Initially I started in small doses because at the time I was playing on a professional team in Canada, we had to adhere to the team regimen. However, in my off season I just trained using FP & that’s when I really started to see the results. Working with Fatin is great because she takes a holistic approach to training, where my gym workouts are translating well onto the court. I’ve definitely seen an improvement in my posture. Now, looking back at photos & the way I used to move & stand just in neutral positions, I would say that I was putting a lot of stress on my low back. I am a lot more comfortable getting into movements as opposed to before; I was mentally pushing myself through pain. I used to have hip impingement, lower back pain, & shoulder pain. Now I feel a lot better & completely got rid of all those pains. With regards to my performance, I’m able to get into the deeper positions, changing directions, shifting my weight, & shooting a lot. That was one of the bigger issues that I really needed to tackle, especially because of the position I play.”

“I’ve been training with Fatin for a while now, and I can honestly say that my experience has been transformative. When I first started, I was struggling with a few key issues: a poor core engagement, an anterior pelvic tilt, and a winged scapula. These problems not only affected my posture but also caused discomfort and limited my range of movement.
From the very start, Fatin was incredibly thorough in assessing my needs. We focused on breaking down each pain point, tackling them one at a time. Fatin took a holistic approach to my training, starting with the basics like how to stand properly and breathe effectively—something I never thought could make such a big difference. With every session, we worked on strengthening my core and correcting my posture, and I could see small but significant improvements.
The progress was gradual, but it was definitely noticeable. Fatin’s patience and attentiveness were key. She made sure that I understood the “why” behind every exercise, which kept me engaged and motivated. She also encouraged me to push beyond my comfort zone, which helped me build strength and confidence. There were times when I felt frustrated by the slow pace, but Fatin was always there to guide me through it, reminding me that consistency was the key.
What stands out the most about working with Fatin is how collaborative the experience has been. She’s always ready to answer any questions I have and offers insightful feedback on how to improve. Her ability to challenge me while keeping the training environment supportive has pushed me to reach new levels I didn’t think were possible.
If you’re dealing with similar issues like I was, I highly recommend working with Fatin. She’s knowledgeable, attentive, and committed to helping you reach your goals. Thanks to her guidance, I feel more aligned, stronger, and more confident in my body.”

“I’m so grateful!! As someone who has done everything from yoga, to resistance training to cardio, functional patterns is no joke, you guys. Every movement requires checking in with different muscles in a coordinated manner, requiring immense focus, strength, & smooth transitions. I still have so much work to do but seeing my improvement is inspiring to me & no one better to carefully & consistently guide me than Fatin!”
