Javier Velasco

Head Trainer and Mindset Coach


Hi Iโ€™m Javier Velasco, founder and owner of Functional Performance Lab.

My life has been characterised by the pursuit of achieving my own peak performance.ย 
My journey started attempting to become an athlete, but this journey led to a cascade of inures that would only get worse with time despite seeing all types of doctors and rehabilitation therapists.ย 

Thankfully, this led to a deep immersion into the field of functional heath and fitness looking for alternative, more holistic approaches to overcome my injuries. In this search came across a system called functional patterns, which changed my life for the better.ย 

Not only was I able to resolve my injuries, results I saw with my body were so mind blowing I decided to become a certified functional patterns biomechanics specialist and revolve my life around helping other people reach their fitness goals in a holistic manner and built a team of trainers around this common mission.ย 

As someone determined to make an impact on people lives, I realised through my experience working with a wide variety of different clients that what separates those that got results form those that didn't wasnโ€™t they type of training we did, it wasnโ€™t how hard they worked during our sessions, it wasnโ€™t the diet they were on... The most determining factor was their MINDSET

This led to through another journey how our mind works and after obsessively studying the work of Tony Robbins and other leaders in the industry and certified myself in Tony Robbins coaching program called Robbins Madness Training in order to offer the best service to our clients.ย 

ย Iโ€™ve now had the privilege to work with a wide variety of clients including athletes, high level entrepreneurs and even celebrities, all of which have help me keep refining and optimising our offering so that It could be narrowed down to what truly creates results in peoples lives.

Deston Dauncey

Movement Specialist



Movement has always been passion of mine, having tried a wide range of different sports and always been drawn to the outdoors. Always in search of the absolute best approaches to optimise performance, I found FPL.

What drawer me to FPL was the amount focus placed on technical execution and the consideration of each individual's differences. Since then I was able to learn a completely new way of viewing and enhancing the body which i have applied successfully to my own training as well as to my clients.

What I like most about FPL is that it can be applied to anyone! Whether you're a high-performing athlete, or just looking to correct dysfunction and relieve pain, the system can be scaled to your goals and needs. Our clients are guaranteed to develop a much greater connection with their bodies, allowing them to unlock movement possibilities they never knew they had.

Josh Hyamsย 

Movement Specialist




If Iโ€™m not training people, Iโ€™m most probably outdoors โ€“ surfing, swimming, hiking, climbing or finding someway to be active outdoors. I do my best to carry this over into my training. Exercise shouldnโ€™t be intimidating; it should be something you look forward to doing!

I linked up with FPL after sustaining a back injury from the standard training modalities to combat my pain and I had amazing results!ย 

After coming from the other side of the fitness spectrum, i can confidently say that FPL is a whole other dimension when it comes to training and enhancing the human body.ย 

This is what I love about FPL, no matter if youโ€™re suffering from back pain or a high-performance athlete, you can benefit in what we have to offer.


Client Testimonials

Jill Sindle

FPL has been the best thing that has happened to me this year.

I've been a recreational athlete for many years but often set back by injuries and no matter how hard I trained never seemed to get faster and stronger.ย 

With 3 months of training with Javier at FPL, I saw results I never thought possible. My running pace has increased significantly and I've seen huge gains in mountain biking. With a strong core and more stability, the speed of both my climbing and confidence in descending has improved.ย 

Javier meets you at your level and works with such knowledge and attention to detail to ensure the correct muscles are activating in every movement.ย 
Each session is different and builds on your progress to ensure that you are continuously challenged.

Leanie

It has been life changing to be active again to this degree.

My situation is somewhat unique because I have a pre existing chronic pain disease and have spent years trying to find any kind of exercise that doesnโ€™t cause flare ups and increased pain. Josh has worked around me and my pain and adapter the exercise regimen around what is achievable on any given day. He is a great motivator striking the balance between pushing me when needed and easing up the pressure on the bad โ€œpain daysโ€.

His care for your general well-being is extraordinary with an approach to holistic healthcare rather than pursuing for โ€œfitnessโ€ in only one are of your life.

Don Wewege

African Canoe Slalom Champion

The training provided at FPL has been a game changer for me. ย 

Javier has helped me address the instability around my shoulder and my overall weaknesses, which has allowed me to feel more confident on the water and ย ย 
I have felt anย enormousย improvementย in myย overallย performance.

FPL is the perfect system for any athlete wanting to improve their performance and decrease their risk of injury.

Michael Hannah

Having done the rounds of guided strength training, physio, bio, chiro, acupuncture, dry needling, sports massage, etc deal with ongoing injuries and pain I was recommended to start working with Javier.ย 

From the start, his approach was completely different from anything I had ever experienced and I was cautiously optimistic. It took about 2 months before I started noticing a difference but once started, the improvements came more and more quickly. I now run (and sit and drive) completely pain free. ย As a positive but not targeted side effect I am more toned and have lost weight.

Javier is extremely knowledgeable, persistent, and dedicated. Every workout I've had with him has been challenging with him focused in making sure everything is being done 100% correctly. ย I recommend Javier and FPL without reservation.

Rod

The combination of a bespoke training regime and a diet and lifestyle program has created some results that set FPL apart. ย My daily pain has been reducedย drasticallyย andย Iย haven'tย been this active in years!

I recommend FPL to anyone who wants to solve a specific condition but also to go on a better life path, building confidence both internally and externally.

Jasper Barret

South African Junior Downhill Champion

The training methods used at FPL allow me to meet all the demands I face as a Downhill Mountain Bike rider.ย 

We have been working a lot on improving my focus and eye-hand coordination, balance, agility, conditioning, as well as general movement mechanics, which I feel has helped me a lot on the bike.

What really separates FPL ย that the staff make the training fun and enjoyable and that they always have their best interests in you.ย 

If you want to improve your fitness in any way, I would definitely say that FPL is the place to go.

Anton

FPL has allowed me to see a massive improvement in the shoulder pain I had previously developed through incorrect forms of training, and in my performance in Martial Arts. Its a training system that fascinates me and has taught me and incredible amount about the human body.ย 

Chiara

Iโ€™ve had is a massive overall improvement in my fitness level and strength whichย 
has naturally boosted my physical and mental health positively.

As a personal trainer, Josh is always willing to grow his own knowledge and skills by learning new things to help in my personal training sessions. His attention to detail, friendly and understanding personality, focus, motivation separate him form the rest.

Lucia Baeza

With a 37 degree spinal scoliosis, and feeling hopeless, going to FPL was one of my last resources to explore before looking into getting spinal surgery.

Previously I had done yoga for 2 years and weight training for three years after, only to find both these making my scoliosis and symptoms worse.ย 

After going to FPL for several months, I am finally starting to see improvements in my posture and a decrease of my daily pain.ย ย I have also been equipped with a massiveย knowledgeย of the human body which has allowed to to continue working on my backย outside of FPL sessions.ย ย I still have a long road but I could not be happierย withย the progress.ย 

Thank you to Javi and your team of experts! You guys are superstars.ย 

Ky Boshoff

I resonate with FPLโ€™s focus on mobility and quality of life, instead of purely just aesthetics or weight loss/gain. Every day, every session I feel more connected to my body after years of dissociation and disembodiment.ย 

I could not recommend Deston more highly. This journey with him has been incredibly rewarding. He is knowledgeable, but not prescriptive; firm but not forceful. Deston has created a flexible program that guides me to achieve new capabilities and strengths, which I never thought I could do. He is supportive and encouraging, and focused on helping me develop my body for the best quality of life. I look forward to gym which I never thought Iโ€™d say.
