Zi Liu

Bill (Testimonial)

I have been fortunate in my life to have had a number of excellent physical therapists however none of them combined the knowledge, training, experience and dedication as exhibited by Zi Liu.   Zi has been a pleasure to work with as his utilization of functional therapeutics has allowed me to recover from extensive surgery that greatly inhibited my ability to walk and perform usual and customary physical activities all of which I did not believe would be possible when I started training with Zi.   Having stated the foregoing, I have had the pleasure of recommending Zi to numerous additional neighbors, colleagues and friends knowing that they will receive the very best care and attention available in the Boston area or elsewhere.   So, Zi please keep up the good work and I look forward to a long and continuous relationship with a goal towards achieving my pre-operative health and mobility.

Kenny (Testimonial)

Zi has opened my eyes to a new world of training. Every session, I was challenged and I saw extraordinary improvements in my body. I am more aware of my body's biomechanics and how I can utilize my body to its full potential. It has truly changed the way I think, from my normal day to day activities to high intensity training. Functional Patterns has taught me a lot about myself and Zi has always shown his passion and care towards his clients so they can have longevity in life.

Ben (Testimonial)

Having Zi as a performance trainer changed my approach to doing any type of physical activity I do. My focus shifted from ‘how many reps are left’ to focusing my mind on things like improving breathing while working out. Using Zi’s unique workout focuses, I gained a newfound awareness of how to summon different muscles during challenging workouts. Zi and his style of training is a rare find, I would highly recommend!

Jack (Testimonial)

Zi is a great trainer, he has helped me improve my athleticism and gives clear instructions on what to do. I get better every time I see him and his workouts are well organized, well planned and fun. My goal is to be the best possible basketball player possible, I want to go to the NBA. Every time Zi works me out, I feel like I get closer to making that dream a reality. He is also an amazing person and understands everybody is on a different level. He cares about you and thats what really drew me over to him. I’ve had trainers in the past who try to “hustle” you, but Zi really cares about you and your growth. Some things that stood out to me from the beginning about Zi are he is willing to stay overtime to help you and answer questions, he is always early, he is extremely nice and is willing to explain the exercise multiple times. For example, one time we were talking about the mental aspect of basketball. He recommended me to start journaling and it has helped me so much. He tells you what you’re doing wrong and what you can do to improve it. He truly takes pride with you deciding to train with him. I would seriously consider training with Zi.

Tevin (Testimonial)

Working Zi has been a great experience. He’s patient, knowledgeable and can adapt on the fly. It’s been a joy to work with a trainer so dedicated to their craft and willing to dig to find the root of my imbalances. As we progress I find my body feeling better, and stronger which is translating to better performance on the court and a better mood in everyday life. I look forward to continuing the work with Zi and would recommend anyone who is serious about improving how their body functions reach out to him.
