FUNCTIONAL pATTERNS
Functional Patterns is a training methodology that was founded in 2006 by CEO Naudi Aguilar. Naudi has conducted seminars globally certifying practitioners like us. We confidently say that Functional Patterns is the best in the fitness industry. Just look at the results achieved worldwide by Functional Patterns practitioners.
WHAT ARE FUNCTIONAL PATTERNS?
Unlike any other point in human history, the main health crisis we face is the imbalance within our society and our disconnection from nature. Moving away from natural practices and shifting towards a more modern way of living has greatly affected our ability to move correctly and stay out of pain.
So, how can we achieve balance in a world filled with imbalance? The answer is straightforward: our health depends on how well we adapt to the natural environment. The more harmoniously we coexist with nature, the healthier and more resilient we become. For humans, this means bringing us back to the beneficial aspects of our evolutionary blueprint that made us healthy to begin with.
THE BLUEPRINT
There’s an evolutionary blueprint to how all organisms work and Functional Patterns has been cracking the code in human movement for nearly 15 years. Resulting from tens of thousands of hours in testing, we have pioneered the FP methodology, syncing the physics of our natural environment to our health better than any other system out there.
Our conclusion has been to train humans according to their biological movement characteristics: Standing, Walking, Running, and Throwing — The “FP Big 4”. By optimizing these four human functions, achieving better health is not a gamble, but an inevitability. This is what it means to train Functional Patterns!
We take the guesswork out of taking care of your body.
Trusted by Athletes and Coaches at All Levels
We're proud of the results our athletes and coaches have achieved. Read what they're saying about their experience with Blake's training and see how it can help you reach your baseball goals.
My Dude is a magician with hitters! If your kid is struggling at the plate or just looking to take that next step, you need to get with Blake Trahan and The U! Halfway through last season, it just didn’t look like things were linking up for Hunter, and I couldn’t quite figure it out. He was hitting for descent contact but didn’t have much behind it.
I called Blake up, and he and Hunter did a little video hitting session right there in the driveway at like 9:00 at night. Made some adjustments, sent videos over the next few days, and made a few more adjustments, and just from that, the results were evident:
1st 14 games of season: (Avg- .383, SLG- .308)
Last 14 games of season: (Avg- .500, SLG- .750)
That’s all the proof I needed! Made a believer out of me! Thanks for taking the time with him, Bro! ✊🏻

Shoutout to coach Blake at The U! I tell people quite often how blessed we are to live only 20 minutes away from The U.
The U isn’t just where we take lessons. It’s a home and safe harbor we can count on when the road gets rough.
She may do what I say because she has to, but she does what Coach Blake says because she wants to!
Thanks for all you do. Not only for Kinley, but for all of these kids you pour into! Keep moving the needle!

My son struggles with confidence more than anything. He's always been a naturally talented athlete, but never more than mediocre performance for his age groups due to his lack of experience and development.
Blake hyped him up and pushed him on day 1 and I can already tell that he's going to grow athletically and personally during his time at The U.

Bri likes the way hitting is explained and the approach that goes into being an elite hitter. Blake goes above and beyond teaching the fundamentals at any level and also the way he explains, that any age can understand.
Very pleased at results!!!

Go see Blake Trahan at The U in Kinder to see results in your work.
You have to put in the work, but he gives you the work, tools, and the motivation to accomplish your goals. But, you have to do the work.
Brayden has been in The U 2-3 days a week for almost 2 years now. The results are clear.

Elite infield camp at The U. Great instruction, Blake Trahan broke it down perfectly and really challenged the kids both mentally and physically on getting their footwork right so they can flow smooth like butter.
10/10, recommend!

Unique approach to hitting both mentally and physically, not cookie cutter approach. Never heard a coach ask the questions that Blake does!
