I am giving 2 stars because the people I actually dealt with were at least friendly and polite. I went in to this experience fully prepared to make the financial commitment, so I didn’t need much convincing. I set an initial consult and met with a gentleman (forgot his name) for a 30 minute intake consultation. On time and professional, so no problems there. Next step was blood work. I asked to use local Quest since I live about an hour away. I followed up a couple of times because I was confused about process and was told Quest would have my orders and just set an appt. I fasted and went to Quest. They did not have orders. Luckily, I was able to access them, but it took time for them to load everything. Then the nurse said there was a code for a spinal tap! We called and they couldn’t give a verbal so I had to wait for Dr to call back. A 10 minute appt now wasted 1.5 hrs. Next step was appt with Dr. They called, text and emailed telling me to be early, which I was. Sat in waiting room for half an hour before leaving as no one even acknowledged the Dr’s tardiness. Ironically, they made me sign a cancellation policy stating they would charge me if I wasted their time. For a group asking for a substantial investment from patients, they sure don’t value their time. Might be good for retired person with lots of time and money to burn, but I’m a business owner and this essentially cost me for nothing in return.

Update 3.22.26. 5 stars doesn't give enough to the trainers at IFH. I started in Aug 2024 only going a few days a week. Now 5 days a week. Never before have I done weight lifting like I do here. The weight lifting isn't for big muscles but for me to functionally move with ease for many years to come. The trainers have helped me in every way, mentally, physically and emotionally to become a better version of me inside and out. They are very smart in what they do and how to do it in a way you won't hurt yourself but improve to meet your goals. When you are hurt they know how to still help you move without further injury. The trainers also bring a lot of joy and fun to my morning, always ready to tackle the workout with me and the 5am crew! No better way to start my day! Love you guys and thanks a Million! Soooooo looking forward to my first competition. Update 9.17.25 Started a gut healing journey with IFH in Feb. Its been a journey but through patience, guidance and encouragement Dr Torres, Caitlin and the staff have finally started getting me on the right track. I've been going to the gym since Aug 2024 and loving every aspect of it. The trainers are so encouraging, motivating and helpful in helping me reach my health and wellness goals.Bonus I have a blast at every visit! I also see the chiropractor on a monthly basis. I've used the rehab and LOVE the recovery options. All in all IFH has changed my life for the better! Thank you for being there for me in all my health, wellness and fitness goals and journey! 💯 recommend!♥️♥️♥️💪💪🤘🤘☺️☺️ Love IFH! Every area I use the clinic, Gym, rehab center they are all amazing and have changed my life in so many ways! Thanks a Million! I wouldn't go anywhere else! Update, 4.30.25 still love IFH! Every area of growth is a great addition to my health and life journey. I have my first functional appointment on 5.8🤘😊

From the moment I walked into the Institute of Functional Health, I knew I was in good hands. Leadership starts at the top with Dr. Torres, and it’s clear that they are truly committed to helping their clients find the root cause of their health issues, not just masking symptoms. I never thought I’d find myself excited about working out again, but thanks to their team, I’ve actually looked forward to my sessions. The trainers in the fitness gym are incredible. They don’t just let me go through the motions – they zero in on my form, correcting it when necessary and making sure I’m doing everything right. Their constant encouragement and motivation keep me coming back for more. I really appreciate how they make sure I’m safe while pushing me to improve. Honestly, who would have thought I’d be driving across town on Christmas Eve just to get a workout in? But I couldn’t imagine celebrating the holidays without feeling healthier and stronger. Thanks to the Institute of Functional Health, I’m celebrating this season feeling lighter, more fit, and more energized. Thank you to Dr. Torres, Luz, Hailey, Martin, and the rest of the team for giving me my life back!

I dropped off wrapping paper for the "wrapping with Jack" event! I am not a client, however, I have 4 friends that are patients here.
