About Alana

My journey into biomechanics began in the boxing ring. As a former Australian boxing champion who proudly represented my country on the international stage, I know firsthand the power of discipline, hard work, and resilience. But I also understand the frustration and setbacks that come with chronic pain and injury — after years of intense training, my body was sending me clear signals it needed a different approach.

That’s when I discovered Functional Patterns. This revolutionary system transformed not only my movement but also my mindset. I immersed myself in studying biomechanics and earned certifications to share these powerful tools with others.

Today, I combine my boxing background with Functional Patterns coaching to offer a unique, effective approach tailored to each client’s needs. My mission is to empower you to move pain-free, correct imbalances, and build confidence in your body. Whether you want to recover from injury, enhance athletic performance, or improve everyday movement, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

What is 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!
