Since then, he has dedicated himself to mastering the most effective strategies for moving with ease and feeling good in your own body.

The Trainers
Sammy Trapani
Sammy has been a trainer for 20 years. He has competed in collegiate baseball, powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He noticed injuries at 18 and now at 38, he has no ACL in the left knee and damage to both labrums in his shoulders. He changed modalities at 31 when he realized he had loss of movement and strength through the years. Once he was able to establish a better foundation for his body through Functional Patterns, he knew his calling was to reintroduce this training to his clients. With 11 years experience as an Endoscopic Specialist, he’s seen many surgeries with the naked eye and can use his knowledge to offer people ways to move toward being self sufficient humans pain free. Helping others take matters of their own health through Functional Patterns and allowing them an option without surgery is a huge goal of Sammy’s. He is grateful to work on his craft alongside his team and is eager to help clients see results they have never seen before.

Functional Patterns Biomechanics Specialist level 2
Jackie Harwell
Jackie began her journey with FP as a client in 2017 and was immediately hooked. As a client for many years, she experienced firsthand how incorporating functional patterns in her regular routine could change the way she moved and felt. Functional patterns not only healed a torn labral tear in her hip that standard physical therapy could not, it was also one of the key factors in a milestone weight loss journey. This inspired Jackie to help others realize what functional patterns could do for them. If Jackie isn’t the instructor, you can find her working out right alongside you in multiple classes a week at the studio.
Megan Allen
Meg found Evolve Performance after years of dealing with chronic back pain and struggling to find a training style that truly worked for her body. With a background in dance, movement has always been a big part of her life, but functional training helped her rebuild strength and feel good again—inside and out.
Now, Meg is passionate about sharing that with others. She takes a holistic approach to health, blending physical and mental well-being. When she's not at the gym, you’ll find her at the beach, playing pickleball, walking local trails or diving into anything related to naturopathic medicine and wellness. Let’s train, grow and feel good together!
