Client Testimonials

Living in a new city in a new state. I am still working out regularly and taking good care of myself due to Sam’s teaching. I would probably not be working out anymore if it were not for Sam. - Katherine Y.

Recently I was performing an exercise at the gym and had a trainer walked up to me and asked what the exercise was and what it worked. I explained it to him as well as the indications of the exercise and what to be careful of and he stated; “That is a great exercise and you really know your stuff!” I told him about Sam Iannetta in Boulder, CO. “Thanks Sam.”

I have been suffering with hip and knee pain for over 9 months. I have received treatment in the form or physical therapy, Rolfing, Pilates and massage. Nothing has helped as fast as the work Sam has done both on me manually and highly specific stretches and exercises that he has taught me. I finally feel that someone is helping me both understand and reverse the problem.

My exercise routine was boring but I thought it was effective in making me a better skier and runner. Sam revamped my entire exercise routine from top to bottom showing me how the machines that I was using were great for muscle size but had almost no effect on better function. I am seeing a huge improvement in my movement patterns everywhere I go every day. I am truly greatful to Sam for building his skills to this level.

I decided to do 6 sessions with Sam to work on a few problems that I was having with my vertical jump. Sam not only helped me get a better vertical but also helped me stabilize my ankles and come up with speed and agility drills for my entire Ultimate Frisbee Team. I am sure we will be more prepared for high-level play than ever.

As a physical therapist I have seen some skilled professionals before but I have never seen someone make instantaneous adjustments to form and technique on the fly that literally in minutes effected pain. Sam’s eyes are amazing it seems like he can spot a poor movement pattern a mile away.

I have seen Sam’s skill work in weeks on patients that have had years of physical therapy at numerous centers with lack of quality results he truly thinks outside the box.

Every workout is different and I have been seeing Sam for over 2 years twice a week. He knows thousands of exercises and moves me from one exercise to another seamlessly. I am stronger and more fit by far than I was at 17. Client age 55

I would put Sam’s skill up against any trainer in the country. His ability to progress me from one exercise to another astounds me.

Client has had more than 12 different personal trainers in 20 years.

I tried to work with two other 'top trainers' in Boulder before I met Sammy but the workouts were making things worse, more pain less
stability. I started training with Sammy and have worked with him now for almost two years and I'm getting stronger and more stable all the time. Sammy has a very keen ability to see how your body works and how to make you work better! My quality of life has definitely improved since I've been working out at Functional Fitness with Sam.

Sam has been my trainer for around eighteen months now. The
atmosphere at Functional Fitness is friendly and the equipment is
innovative and up to date. But more important is Sam himself-he’s the
most knowledgeable trainer I have ever had. He can diagnose your
physical problems then devise the program that will solve them. He
will help to increase your strength, improve your balance and agility
and raise your energy levels. My age says I’m a senior citizen but my
body feels a lot younger. Thanks, Sam
