Functional Fitness: Rooted in Movement, Strength, & Longevity
3 Planes Functional Health is a mobile, personal training and wellness coaching service. Our goal is to help clients move better, feel stronger, and train with purpose through customized fitness and corrective exercise programs designed for real life. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, the 3 Planes approach combines functional movement, strength training, mobility, and recovery to support long-term health and performance. We provide customized programs based on the client’s personal goals and health history. Each client is given a full physical assessment prior to program development because we know that no two people are the same. We develop customized action plans that can be delivered within the luxury and comfort of your own home or within a studio environment.
Fitness That Supports Real Life
We understand that appearance is not indicative of good health. Of course, we want to help you create the best version of yourself, aesthetically. We also want to help you create a body that moves efficiently, performs confidently, and supports your everyday life.
Our training philosophy combines strength, mobility, recovery, and functional movement to help clients build lasting results that improve their overall quality of life. No one can tell you how long you’re going to live. We can all do something to improve the quality of our lives while we’re here.

Behavior Change & Accountability Coaching
At 3 Planes, we help you identify the specific “elements” of consistency that matter most for your lifestyle, goals, and limitations. These elements look different for every client: daily movement, sleep routines, nutrition habits, stress management, or simply showing up for scheduled sessions. Once identified, they become part of your personalized roadmap, guiding you toward measurable milestones and ultimately a stronger, healthier quality of life.

Prior to working with Duane, I struggled with consistency and a lack of clear direction in my fitness routine. That’s completely changed, as I’m more disciplined and approaching my health with greater confidence and purpose. Duane combines deep knowledge with steady encouragement to inspire just the right amount of accountability. I’d recommend Duane to anyone, busy people especially, looking for sustainability and results.
Richard DuBose
Training with Three Planes has completely changed my health and confidence. When I started in February 2024, I struggled with mobility, strength, and the effects of Type 2 diabetes after a stressful season of life. Duane Adams met me where I was and helped me grow stronger every week. Today, I can do exercises I never imagined possible, have improved my mobility and core strength, and feel healthier and more confident than I have in years.
Brenda Mills
Duane’s consistent, knowledgeable, and upbeat style of training has made for a dramatic improvement in my strength and appearance. Working with Duane is one of the best investments I’ve ever made – he comes with my highest recommendation to anyone in the market for an invigorating and fun trainer!
Jeannie DuBose
When I started working with Duane, I had a herniated disc that had me in constant pain, and my doctors were starting to talk about surgery. I also have a fused ankle from an old injury, so I needed someone who could actually work around real physical limitations, not just hand me a generic program. Two years later, the pain is gone, surgery is off the table, and I'm genuinely stronger than I've ever been. Duane meets you exactly where you are, pushes you smart (not reckless), and clearly knows his stuff. I'd recommend him to anyone dealing with an injury, recovering from one, or just tired of trainers who don't pay attention to the person in front of them.
