Functional Performance Systems

I have been training with Rob for almost two years (my husband even longer!) and I can truly say it has been an amazing experience. Never monotonous, always engaging, Rob’s knowledge of sports fitness and body mechanics is equivalent to that of an MD. He will push you to your safe limits and is always conscious of quality and form. I am in amazing shape and I’m thrilled with how I look in the mirror! I also highly recommend Rob’s Popping the Food Bubble nutrition class. It is life changing. You will never look at food the same way again. You get the Michelin Star, Rob!!!

Every other review below pretty much is spot on with our experience at FPS. Rob is a great trainer, who has tons of real world experience. He not only helps us with getting stronger and more fit than we have ever been (me and my wife), but he has tons of lifestyle tips and advice for a well balanced, healthy life outside the gym. In addition, we have a great time while we are in the gym training. We are both stronger than we have ever been, and we are just getting started.

My husband and I have been going to Rob at Functional Performance Systems for over a year now. We have been to other gyms/​trainers over the years but have never had the service that we receive from Rob. Not only does he work with us on strength training, but also helps with balance, coordination, and most importantly nutrition. He is committed to making sure that you feel your best. In the typical hour-​long session, you are his only focus and he is dedicated to ensuring proper form, and progression. A simple conversation about a certain food, exercise or health issue will lead him to send you a link or article with more information about that topic. He really has changed our lives and the way we look at exercise and food. We both feel better than we have in years and look forward to many, many more healthy years ahead. We HIGHLY recommend FPS!

What can i possibly add to the previous reviews? Well, i must admit, it is all true and correct. Robert is focused on you through entire training session. He creates fun and safe environment. I have been going for four month now. One hour, three times a week, and this hour goes by very fast. I am impressed with results, variety of challenging exercises and how well Rob knows the physics of human body. All you need, to show up full of energy, so he can perform his magic. I am very grateful to FPS and Robert Turner for providing such an outstanding, informative and affordable service to the community.
Do i recommend FPS? ABSOLUTELY !
Give it a try. You will be glad you did.

Researching for a personal trainer, I did the extensive google search for Simi Valley and kept on getting mostly CrossFit results in the area. I didn’t want to venture into crossfit and did not want to do the popular gym trainer route and was greatly disappointed by the place over at the town center, so I kept on researching. Somehow, I stumbled upon Functional Performance System’s blog and I thought I’d follow them on facebook for a while before calling. Well, I got busy with home life and work and had put Functional Performance System on the back burner.
After about eight months of my facebook stalking, I decided Functional Performance System was probably the right fit for me and left a message on a voicemail. I got a call back in a few hours and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I went through my story of wanting to get back in shape after the delivery of my baby (almost one at this point) and so on and Rob said all the right things so I decided to go meet him in person before committing to anything. At this point, I wanted to gain some muscle and to be a better runner.
My first impression of Rob was that he was nice, not intimidating and not pushy. I brought my husband along and he liked Rob too and unexpectedly, we BOTH signed up for his one-​on-​one personal training package. The gym is small and in a small strip mall but you realize he has every equipment needed to perform your workouts.
Rob’s great. He is the best personal trainer ever and a wonderful human being! He takes the time to show you the proper movements and adjusts the workout if you have any discomfort. He also likes to give you nuggets of information about nutrition and helps you put it all together to make sense of it all.
I’ve gained so much knowledge about my physique, working out the right way and how to fuel for running and weight lifting. I have trained with Rob on and off for about two years. I’m happy with my results so far: I am the strongest I’ve ever been, actually have muscle definition, and my biggest victory has been improving my half marathon mile pace by over a minute! So no surprise that I highly recommend FPS to friends and family, some of whom have begun training with Rob.

Tell me another place you can get trained by a fitness professional of the caliber of Rob Turner. Besides his extensive certifications, Rob was a professional football player so he has real life experience in some of the best training facilities in the world. His coaching is impeccable and his focus on technique and how it is vital to prevent injury and in strengthening your entire body is amazing. He can pinpoint areas of weakness and work with you in making them areas of strength. I’ve been training a while on my own before now after training with Rob have noticed significant improvement in my overall fitness. In addition to his knowledge about strength training, he understands the role nutrition plays in improving the functions of the body more than any other trainer I have ever seen. FPS has it all! You have to try this place, I can’t recommend it enough!

I bought a month of personal training at Functional Performance Systems (FPS) on Living Social. I have purchased Living Social fitness-​type deals at various local gyms and boot camps — I expected to do my cheap month of training, quit, and buy the next up-​and-​coming fitness deal. However, once my month of training with Rob (the owner/​best trainer ever) was complete, I didn’t want to leave. So I stayed…
Rob has trained me over the last 3.5 months now and has managed to help me overhaul both my food & exercise habits. He offered me complementary nutrition counseling and has entirely changed the way I look at food. Rob’s methods are not just about fitness — he also wants to improve metabolism for the long run and help you understand the way your body processes foods to improve overall health.
I have previously worked with personal trainers who will yell at you to keep you motivated, and it sucks. Rob made sure I was comfortable doing every movement, and was always making small improvements to make me better. Rob was also extremely flexible with my schedule — I work 55+ hours per week, and he was always able to make time to train.
Overall, I am VERY happy with Functional Performance Systems! My primary goal was to «tone-​up,» and I definitely see improvements in both my health and appearance. There is not a thing I would change. Except FPS should run more Living Social deals :)

If you are located in the Simi Valley area and want to look better, feel better, get rid of nagging pain (old or new injuries) and perform at your best whether it is on or off the athlete field then it is a MUST you visit Functional Performance Systems. Not only will Rob Turner help you to reach all your health, performance and wellness goals but will also teach you how to maintain those results for the rest of your life.

Rob Turner is one of the best in his field and is highly recommended. As a long-​distance nutrition client, I’ve experienced nothing but positive, amazing results from his program. I feel and look better and continue to improve everyday. Located on the opposite coast and in a different time zone was never an issue and Rob always accommodated my schedule, needs, and all of my questions, emails and texts. He is an amazing nutrition coach and wonderful resource for overall health, especially if you want to feel and look better. He continues to expand his knowledge with constant research and is very passionate about what he does. Worth every penny!
