about
THE Function Fitness STORY
Charlie Banfield - OWNER
Charlie grew up in North Devon and has been a part of Function Fitness since it opened in 2012. Despite trying his hand at a variety of career pathways he always came back to a desire to improve sport and fitness opportunities in his home town.
Since taking over Function Fitness in 2018 he has embarked on a mission to close a gap in the fitness market between the goal orientated personal training world and commercial gym use. Making it his mission to support those who were not seeing the results or innovation they needed to feel satisfied.
Now joined by his partner Ceri and their young son, this mission has resulted in the conception of the Function Forged program. Delivering functional fitness opportunities in a fun environment with a focus on motivation & accountability and a built upon the foundations of a like-minded goal driven community.
