Introducing…
The intelligent, joint-healthy, hardcore training program that’s helped thousands of people build muscle, lose fat, and
gain strength fast.
FHT has been called “the program from hell” and is trusted by the industry’s top fitness experts, elite athletes, and thousands of people worldwide.
What if you could finally break through ANY plateau and build a stronger, more muscular body—even if you have annoying injuries?
What if instead of waiting to “start over” again next Monday (or next month), you could start making progress today?
For the first time ever, I’ve distilled my 10+ years of research and testing into one highly-effective hardcore program. It’s called Functional Hypertrophy Training (FHT).
Functional Hypertrophy Training was designed specifically for people who want to gain muscle, lose fat, and build strength faster than ever before—while bulletproofing their body from injury and overtraining for the long run.
With FHT, I take a hybrid approach to make you more muscular, leaner, stronger, faster, and more powerful, without sacrificing your joints or mobility. You can get the body you want while hitting your PR’s AND reversing the trend of injury and aging.
This program is hardcore in all the right ways. With high reps and high density training — it’ll take your heart-rate to over 200, leave your muscles burning, and take away your breath: but it’s done intelligently.
You’ll be cursing Dr. John during your workout, but you’ll find you recover quickly and finish your workouts feeling strong and accomplished. (Instead of feeling like your joints hurt and you got the crap kicked out of you.)
With FHT, you’re ensuring your best body is still ahead of you.
Even if you already “know” what to do—and just need help doing it.
Even if it’s been awhile since you were consistent.
Even if you have annoying aches and pains that you need to work around.
No more stalled progress. No more “winging it at the gym”. No more waiting for everything to be perfect to make progress.

“I wanted to grow and develop quality strength and size while simultaneously retaining my athleticism. I wasn’t sure it was possible all at once until Dr. John’s Functional Hypertrophy Training.”
“After retiring from almost a decade in professional baseball, I wanted to grow and develop quality strength and size while simultaneously retaining my athleticism. I wasn’t sure it was possible all at once until Dr. John’s Functional Hypertrophy Training was released which grabbed my attention in an industry full of programs right away. I can truly say with the utmost confidence that this program is excellent for folks of varying experience levels, and ideal for anyone looking to be a stronger, better looking, and better moving human being.

“… I started to give up on the thought of ever getting my pre-pregnancy bod back… FHT was just what I needed”
“After having my second baby, I started to give up on the thought of ever getting my pre-pregnancy bod back. Having to take care of 2 kids under 2 years old, keeping up with the house, making sure the dog was ok, and working full time was exhausting! I knew I had to make a change, for my physical AND mental well-being. Fortunately, FHT program was just what I needed. Following a program that was laid out for me took away any doubts and any thinking, all I needed to do was show up and train. I set aside an hour a day, between 3-5 days a week, followed the training schedule and nutrition advice & I quickly started to see results and feel better. FHT helped me be a better mom to my 2 little boys, a better wife and a better me! I’m looking forward to starting 2nd half of the FHT SuperPack!”

“January 2nd I was not in my best shape. Diet was off, injuries, little sleep due to work and baby. Now (5 months later) I’m approaching 41 years old and am in the best shape of my life. Dr. Rusin has changed the way I train and the way I think about training. Can’t imagine doing any other programmes. Let’s see where I can get by 45!”

A customizable nutrition plan.

The 10-Minute Injury Prevention Warm-up.
Bulletproof your body against workout related injuries without wasting any time.
My quick recovery protocol for staying pain free.
I’ll share a detailed recovery day protocol for maintaining mobility, targeting your most vulnerable areas from training, and show how to develop a functional body that works for you in the gym AND in the rest of your life. (No one else does this.)
Video Demonstrations of EVERY exercise:
Over 150 instructional videos showing exactly how to perform each exercise. (Most programs expect you to already know how to do each exercise. Not here. I want you to know exactly what to do so you never get hurt.)
Instant coaching cues:
I’ve included detailed descriptions of each exercise that you can take to the gym with you. (You’ll get the exact cues a personal coach would give you.)
My no B.S. resources for the most advanced recovery techniques.
Including hands on self-myofascial-release, blood-flow restriction, postural restoration, and more. Stop wading through thousands of articles to figure out what works. I’ve tested and tried them all, and put in thousands of hours of research and distilled everything you need to know (and resources for those of you who want to learn more).
For a limited time: you’ll get DIRECT ACCESS TO MY COACHING STAFF & MYSELF.
Look, we all know that a program is only as good as it is for YOUR goals and YOUR unique body and history. Most programs give you exercises and expect that 100% of them will work for you (and if not, too bad). Functional Hypertrophy Training is different.
You’ll be able to ask questions and get feedback directly from myself or my highly experienced staff, and from over a thousand people who have done the FHT program, too.
You’ll get get coaching on your form, feedback on how to tailor the program to your unique body and history, and accountability.

That’s something you won’t get anywhere else without paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
This type of coaching and access is unparalleled at this price point, and it’s not something we’ll be able to offer for forever. At some point, we won’t be able to keep up with new people joining the community and we’ll have to shut this offer down.

“He has influenced not only my own training, but the work I do with clients.”
“I’ve found one ongoing problem in the clinical industry is a detachment from proper strength and conditioning directives to help accelerate a proper rehab process. Dr. John Rusin bridges this gap in a very comprehensive way. His information hits home for me. He has influenced not only my own training, but the work I do with clients. I constantly recommend his work as a reliable resource for actionable training information.”
Lee Boyce,
Strength Coach, Internationally published fitness writer
“I gained 10 pounds while dropping to 10% body fat.”

“Thanks John for a program that is helping to rectify all the imbalances that I ignored”
“The girl on the left was doing 6+hrs of cardio a week, plus 8ish hours of lifting every week, on top of working a full time job and the regular life duties of being a mom of two littles and wife. I was EXHAUSTED… and began to dread every minute of cardio. My body begged for reprieve, but I just had to keep grinding. The girl on the right (from this am), couldn’t stop smiling after doing sprints to finish off lower body hyper. It felt AMAZING to be drenched in sweat. It was only 15:00 of cardio I know, but I did it by choice, and loved every minute of it. My body FUNCTIONS now, so some HIIT is a celebration, not a punishment. Thanks John for a program that is helping to rectify all the imbalances that I ignored last year because I was too busy grinding it out. Thanks for a program that focuses on quality of movement, so we can all become beasts in the gym!”

“I have been able to stay injury free while competing at my highest level of all time.”

With Dr. John, I have been able to stay injury free while competing at my highest level of all time.”

“I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge. I’m very happy with my progress and you will be too.”
“Being a new father comes with many challenges: one being able to plan a workout schedule and sticking to it. Mentally I was at a place where I knew I didn’t have the energy to plan my own workouts and just wanted to follow a program by someone I can trust—Dr. John Rusin was that trusted someone. I have been following his work for quite some time now, so when the opportunity came to give his FHT program a try, it was a no brainer. Given John’s knowledge and background in sports performance, fitness, and rehabilitation, his program offers a nice blend of strength training protocols and recovery methods to help you train pain-free. The video tutorials and information that’s provided are very helpful in guiding you through the program, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge. I’m very happy with my progress and you will be too.”

“I’ve been very happy with the results from training on the FHT program”
“I’m extremely selective when choosing a training program for myself, but John and his work definitely fit the bill in an overwhelming fashion here. I’ve been very happy with the results from training on the FHT program, from the incredibly detailed coaching notes he provides to the exercise video tutorials and personal touch. This program is loaded with helpful information and content. FHT gives you the necessary toolbox to train hard in the gym and recover intelligently in between sessions. I give this program my highest recommendation.”

Where will your body be 12 weeks from now?
Whenever a new client comes into my gym and tries to decide if coaching is right for them, I like to ask them one simple question: If the next three months are anything like the last three months, what does your future look like?
If we want the results to be different, we have to do something differently.
To work with my staff and I directly for three months costs my personal training clients over $4,000. A three-month program written by me alone can cost upwards of $2,000… but I don’t just want to work with elite athletes. I want to help the people who have the most to gain from my 10+ years of research and gym tested methods…
… I want to help YOU gain muscle fast.
… I want to help YOU overcome old injuries and annoying pain.
… I want to help YOU get fired up to get into the gym and crush some weights.
That’s why I’m offering my 12-week Functional Hypertrophy Training program—along with direct access to my full staff and myself, plus the FHT Family community—for just a single payment of $99.

“This is no cheap gimmick.”
“Having gotten back into fitness at 40 and getting the lifting bug at 42, it was important to me to find something that would interest me, challenge me and allow me to make gains while minimizing risk of injury. Dr. Rusin’s Functional Hypertrophy Program delivers all of that and then some. Lifts improve and techniques improve, but intellectually, one’s perspective will be blown wide open by Dr. Rusin’s exercise selections, sets and reps schemes the progressions he incorporates. This is no cheap gimmick. It’s professional level programming, and Dr. Rusin’s encourages exercise substitutions in order to tailor to his client’s needs.”
