[[HIGHLIGHT]]Victor is such a great instructor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've always wanted to try Functional Patterns, and I finally did today. As a medical professional and nurse, I really appreciate learning the small, detailed aspects of how our muscles and bones work together and how the body is meant to move properly. In nursing school, we didn't really study in depth how breathing, posture, and movement are all interconnected when performing functional exercises in everyday life. This experience helped me understand that much better. Victor is an excellent coach who can truly help me work toward improving my scoliosis and correcting my imbalances. I'm grateful for his guidance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you also to Christy for always following up and for clearly explaining what Functional Patterns is all about.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really appreciate the support. read more

I'm in my late 50s and have always tried to stay active, but years of desk work caught up with me -- nagging back and shoulder discomfort that just wouldn't quit. Before signing up anywhere, I did a fair amount of research, and Functional Patterns stood out. Their approach is genuinely grounded in biomechanics, not just another generic fitness fad, and that's exactly what I was looking for. I started with the 6-week beginner program, and it's been one of the better decisions I've made for my body. The coaches -- Andy, Toni, Kevin, and Kendra, with Christy keeping everything running smoothly at the front desk -- really know their stuff. The program starts with releasing fascia throughout the whole body, then builds week by week into postural corrective work that gets progressively more complex, engaging your entire musculature. I've walked away with a much better sense of how to carry myself, whether I'm sitting at my computer for hours, standing, or working out. An unexpected bonus: I met some great people in my group along the way, which made the whole experience even better. If you're dealing with postural issues or just want to move better and build real strength with proper mechanics, I highly recommend doing this program ! read more

This place is on a completely different level. My session at Functional Patterns Costa Mesa wasn't just a workout or a treatment -- it was an eye-opening reset of how my body actually moves and functions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their message is clear and refreshing: stop chasing symptoms and start fixing the root cause.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coach took time to assess how I stand, walk, and load my body, then dialed in precise, intentional work to correct imbalances I didn't even realize were holding me back. Nothing felt random or generic -- everything had a purpose. I left feeling more aligned, lighter, and noticeably better in my movement, with a clear understanding of what my body needs long-term. If you're serious about reducing pain, improving performance, and actually changing how your body works (not just getting a temporary feel-good session), this is the real deal. read more

Highly recommended! This place is for everyone, from the non athlete to the athlete that wants to get that edge. Our family has been training with Functional Patterns for about a year now and it has helped with better health, strength, and mobility! It has been a game changer! The professionalism and knowledge is superior! read more

I can't recommend Functional Patterns enough! Working with Christine has been a game-changer for me. She helped identify imbalances in my structure, release years of stored tension, correct my posture, and even improve my running speed and form. What I love most is that every session feels intentional and tailored, with lasting results that go far beyond a typical workout. Instead of just focusing on quick fixes, Christine guides you toward real, lasting changes in how your body moves and feels. If you're looking for more than just a traditional gym session something that actually addresses the root causes of imbalance while helping you build a stronger, more resilient body Functional Patterns is the way to go. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really helps me learn how to move correctly and be more fluid with how I play on the court.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

You want to be at this gym. I've been going to Andy and Trevor when they were working from home. Andy has created a place that is a joy to go weekly if not more. Physically the space is beautiful. The coaches are phenomenal. I say that without hyperbole. They care about the individual. Trevor knows my personal goals and challenges and actively creates a plan to make me stronger and better. The coaches use each other's knowledge to solve their clients problems. It's like having a team of coaches. FP is different. Know that before coming. What Naudi brings to all of us is a deep passion to make the strongest best working body systems without causing pain and dysfunction. You are not told to work thru the pain. If there is pain, Trevor backs up and finds a way to increase strength then move to more advanced movements. Also be prepared for lots of directions and corrections. That is the difference here. You don't just show up for the same old thing. Each and every movement matters. I've done so many programs over the years and this is the one that resonates the most to build your body in the hardest most gentle way possible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Check it out if you want a great place with wonderful support.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Having had a lot of experiences with different trainers and coaches in the fitness industry, I can say that--while most have a legitimate love for fitness--there are few that show a trustable understanding of the human body. Fitness coaching is a luxury service with tremendous value for quality of life if done right, and OC Biomechanics is one of the rare instances where you can see and feel noticeable changes for the better without constantly guessing what's happening with your fitness. It's incredible value seeing the people working with OC Biomechanics and what's happening to their fitness, and it's incredible how adapted their work is to people, regardless of gender or even age. Excited for the future of fitness in OC. read more

OC Biomechanics has been a life-changing experience for me. I came in with minimal knowledge of Functional Patterns, but was open to learning because of my sedentary lifestyle in my corporate job. With Andy's help, I was able to not only fix my posture, but strengthen it for years to come. I love how Functional Patterns is different from traditional weightlifting practices and leans in on lifestyle changes regarding posture more closely. If you are in the Orange Country area looking to grow a healthy lifestyle away from the desk, Andy is your guy! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Working with Andy was an amazing experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very fine attention to detail and very passionate about his work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I feel privileged to be able to be his client.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Whether you want to get out of pain or increase your athleticism, Andy can help you achieve your goals. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Can't ask for a better trainer than Andy! I started functional pattern with the goals of improving my posture and finding a workout that doesn't put more pain on my back. Andy did an excellent job of tailoring the exercises to my goals and level of experience with functional pattern. I've noticed a huge difference in my posture's quality, both in daily activities and during workouts. What I love about his workouts is they're all about controlled and injured-free movements. Not only are they sweat-inducing, they also left me feeling energized afterward. I find myself looking forward to each session. Thank you Andy for making such a significant impact on my life. read more

I came to FP looking for alternative options to physical therapy. An old injury and a sedentary work lifestyle, led to frequent relapses. My muscular pain has significantly reduced thanks to FP. Andy helped me discover areas of instability and crafted focused exercises to build a solid foundation. Andy is very dedicated to his craft, calm in his approach and very professional in his practice. It's easy to stay motivated, because your wins are his wins. I highly recommend Andy and his studio!! read more

Andy is very knowledgeable. I got started on Functional Pattern after a friend introduced me to this style of training. I was what you'd call a typical gym rat. I have always been doing traditional weight exercises and over the year, that took a toll on my body. I was in constant back pain due to poor postures. Andy helped guiding me to rethink the way I approach fitness and apply basic human movements into my training. Now I switch from heavy weight lifting to functional pattern exercises and incorporate kickboxing into my training routine. Highly recommend Andy! read more

I came across Functional Patterns online and decided to start the 10 week course. The videos were detailed and informative, but felt like I would benefit from an in-person setting to better learn and apply the information. There were some practitioners in the LA and SD area, but I was really looking for someone hopefully in OC, and that's when I found Andy. Andy is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to his craft. He has helped me begin my journey of enjoying a life that is pain free. In a short amount of time, I have seen impressive results in my posture and my mobility, and this is only the beginning. If you are looking to get stronger and feel better doing it, Andy is your guy! read more

I've been training with Andy at OC Biomechanics since he first started out. The results I've seen have been tremendous. Not only have I gotten in the best shape of my life, he has actively worked with me to fix my dysfunctions. I have an indented chest and lots of rib flare because of it. We have been able to dial back the rib flare a good 75-85% with corrective exercises. My gait has improved, my sprint speed has reached 20mph, and I am overall injury free. Andy is an excellent trainer and he is fantastic at explaining complex movements in ways that my caveman brain can understand. If you want to work out in a way that is functional and adapted to the way our bodies are supposed to move, want to build strength, and prevent injuries, then OC Biomechanics is absolutely the place to get it done. I will continue working with Andy for as long as I can. He really is the man! read more

Andy did an excellent job of simplifying complicated concepts about the human body and helping individualize and apply Functional Patterns principles for me. I didn't have much experience or knowledge with fitness, but that was no issue as Andy was able to explain things in a way that just made it make sense for me. Each session he helps things click more and more for me, and it's awesome when I have those breakthrough moments. I'd recommend anyone who's interested in learning more about proper movement and intelligent way to train your body to learn from Andy. read more

I had heard about Functional Patterns after seeing their posts online and their dramatic before/after transformations, so I tried their 10 Week Online Course. It was a great start, but I needed more hands-on instruction to personalize the techniques for my own particular body. I was dealing with lots of inflammation and muscular imbalances which caused bad posture, nagging shoulder pain, and chronic weight gain due to trouble with my eating habits. A friend referred me to Andy and he was able to cue me through the techniques with many details that made them feel way more effective and engage different muscles than I was used to when training by myself. Over time, my body finally began to create new holding patterns and this resulted in better posture, reduced anxiety which helped stop my overeating, and even being pain-free in my shoulder! read more

Andy is such an amazing trainer! I've been suffering from neck and back pain from sitting too long at my 9-5 office job. I've been rounding my shoulders and back consistently at my job, which resulted me in developing a poor posture. I kid you not, after ONE SESSION with Andy, I felt a drastic difference in my everyday posture and how I move. It's literally MAGIC. I can't wait for my next session! read more

OC Biomechanics has completely changed the way I exercise and move. Before I came in, I did typical gym workouts like bench presses, bicep curls, squats, and deadlifts because that's all I knew how to do. These exercises left my joints with lingering aches and pains that no one else could resolve. I tried it all - physical therapy, massage, chiropractors, etc but the pain always came back. After a few sessions with Andy applying Functional Patterns, I'm back to feeling pain-free for the first time in years. I'm even back to playing my favorite sports like Muay Thai and soccer better than ever with no issues read more

Training Functional Patterns with Andy has been an eye-opening experience. I had heard about how Functional Patterns can improve athletic performance, and as an avid boxer, I was interested in improving my boxing. So, I reached out to Andy for a consultation and he was able to quickly identify the imbalances in my body and posture that were preventing me from increasing my potential in boxing. Once we started working to correct these imbalances, I noticed that I had more power, balance, and even endurance when boxing - I felt snappier and lighter on my feet but also didn't get tired as fast. The techniques he's shown me are now staples of my training routine and I couldn't imagine going without them. read more
