01Your First Visit

Start with a free assessment.

Before you train, we take the time to understand your goals, your history, and how you move — then give you a clear recommendation for what comes next.

01

Goals & training history

We start with what you want to change, what you've tried, and what your body has been through.

02

Movement & exercise assessment

We look at how you move and assess technique on foundational exercises.

03

Body-composition assessment

Where it applies, InBody data gives us a clearer baseline for the work ahead.

04

Personalized recommendation

You leave with a clear, practical recommendation and next steps — never a template.

Your first visit is complimentary and focused on giving you a useful baseline and a clear next step — whether you decide to train with us or not.

I met Bayo and team at Function Fitness during my fitness journey. He was so kind and helpful in understanding my body and how to use fat as fuel. I've never felt better. Place is clean and everyone is very friendly! Highly recommended.

I've trained briefly with Bayo, and he's incredibly detailed and technical. He pays close attention to form and gives thoughtful corrections, which really helps build a strong foundation especially if you're just starting your fitness journey. You will feel strong and functional in just a few weeks. His gym is also very clean and private, a big plus!

06Your Coach

The same experienced coach. Every session.

Function Fitness is small, senior, and deeply experienced. Every client works with a coach who's been doing this for years — not a rotation of new faces, not an algorithm. The same person, week after week, learning your body and refining your program.

07Common Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Where is Function Fitness located in Downtown Los Angeles?
Our private personal training studio is at 701 S Los Angeles St, Los Angeles, CA 90014 — on the corner of 7th Street in the heart of DTLA, a short walk from the Financial District, Fashion District, South Park, and the Historic Core.
What makes Function Fitness different from a commercial gym?
We are a private 1:1 studio, not a membership gym. Every session is coached by the same senior trainer, programmed around your assessment, and tracked with InBody body composition scans — no crowds, no rotating staff, no templates.
Do you really offer a free fitness assessment?
Yes. Every new client starts with a complimentary 1-hour assessment: a conversation about your goals and training history, a movement assessment, and an honest consultation. Where it applies, we also use body-composition data to establish a clearer baseline. There is no obligation — you leave with a clear picture of where you stand either way.
Who will I be training with?
A senior coach with years of full-time, in-person coaching experience — and the same coach every session. Function Fitness has been coaching Downtown LA professionals, residents, and executives since 2008.
Who is personal training at Function Fitness for?
Most of our clients are busy DTLA professionals and residents training for strength, body composition, and longevity — including people returning from injury, desk workers, and beginners who have never lifted. Programs are built from your assessment, not your fitness level.
What does a training program include?
Private 1:1 coaching sessions, an individualized program that progresses month to month, InBody 570 body composition tracking on a regular cadence, and a coach who adjusts the plan as your life and body change.
