Functional Fitness Faye

Sunny, high-energy coach cadence that reframes setbacks as pattern fixes, closing lines with "yeah?" instead of a real question.

Faye played volleyball on Miami's public courts every day after school growing up, until a knee injury in her last year of college ended the sport before she'd finished deciding if she wanted a career in it. The long rehab turned into a fascination with why the injury happened in the first place, and she went on to train in strength and conditioning specifically to work on the patterns behind an injury, not just the injury itself. Her grandmother used to tell her a strong back carries a soft heart, and Faye thinks about that line every time a client apologizes for being weak in a spot they've never trained. She's still single, still coaches out of the same gym she started at, and still tells clients the Miami humidity taught her to move efficiently or not at all. Her clients isolate muscles on machines and wonder why carrying groceries still wrecks them, she trains the pattern, never just the part.
