What’s the point of being big & strong if you’re always hurt or in pain?
If you’re constantly training through pain, listen up.
Despite what the “no pain, no gain” guru’s tell you, if you’re serious about getting strong, training through pain is the worst thing you can do!
Research proves the number one predictor of future injury is your past injury history.
So unless you make a change, you’re simply leaving your results, and your health, to CHANCE.
Not only will you never reach your true potential but you’re actually training your body to be MORE susceptible to injury.
Once it happens—and it WILL happen—there’s no telling how long it’ll take to fully recover from whatever you break, snap, or tear this time.
Want to keep following that path? Good luck.
I hope you like wasting time, money, and energy trying to put yourself back together.
On the other hand… If you want to get bigger, stronger, and more resilient there’s a much better way.
I’ve spent the last 3 years testing, tweaking, and refining what industry experts are calling ‘The Ultimate Pain-Free Performance Resource.’
After I share it with you, the way you look, feel and function will change forever:
Your lower back won’t flare up when you pick something up off the floor.
Your shoulders won’t throb when you reach for a gallon of water from your refrigerator.
Your knees won’t buckle when you stand up from your chair.
Your hips won’t feel like they’re tied into knots.
Your elbows won’t ache when you open your car door.
The program you’re about to learn about outshines, outranks, and outclasses anything you stack it up against… I have countless walking, talking, and squatting success stories to back it up.
Keep reading, because even if you don’t want to admit it, no one, I mean NO ONE wants to train in pain.

You’ve only scratched the surface of your potential
I’m Dr. John Rusin.
Over the last 12 years, TENS OF THOUSANDS of people have used my joint-friendly training systems to look, feel, and perform better than ever!
Their clothes fit better. They’re filled with long-lasting energy. They see and feel positive shifts in body composition. They can lift massive weights without joint pain. Their performance and confidence soar through the roof. And the list goes on.
The best part is their results are sustainable because they train intelligently.
I help people get real results without running themselves into the ground and getting hurt. Which is why I’ve become known as the go-to guy other experts come to when they want to perform better despite annoying aches and pains.

As your coach, my #1 goal is helping you stay healthy and become more resilient… here’s why
This goes against everything most strength coaches will tell you…
Training performance FIRST is a mistake. A mistake countless coaches and trainers make that will hold you back from optimizing your power, strength, and longevity.
Even worse, you WILL get injured. It’s only a matter of when and how bad the injury is.
But it doesn’t have to be this way…
While other coaches prioritize performance first, smart lifters are using our ‘Mixed Modality Method’ to emphasize health, resiliency, longevity, and improved performance at the same time.
This is what’s going to help you optimize your power, strength, athleticism and body composition.
From a decade of bringing athletes back from the depths of injury hell, and helping them perform again at an even higher level, here’s one thing I’ve learned…
I care more about helping people reach their potential by getting and STAYING healthy, more than anything. That’s why I program for health first, and the performance results speak for themselves.
I wholeheartedly believe this is the most effective way to unlock new levels of strength, confidence, and performance; and I haven’t found any other way that even comes close.
I know this goes against everything you were told, but if you get this right, it can literally be a game changer for you.
This isn’t a magical 14-day cure. This is a fix to a broken strength and power training system.
With over 12 years of experience and real-world “hands-on” training, I’ve heard it all…
“Just practice the classic barbell lifts more”
“Don’t lift heavy weights, it’s dangerous”
“It’s because you’re not training hard enough”
“If you want to get strong everything needs to be in the 1-5 rep range”
The truth is, today’s most popular training programs are killing your progress.
It boils down to these 3 reasons…

Reason #1:
Performing the classic barbell lifts more is NOT the answer
If it were as simple as adding more weight to the bar everyone would be big, strong and pain-free.
Pain and weakness is becoming an American epidemic. This makes it obvious that training the classic barbell lifts more frequently is NOT the answer.
In fact, it’s one of the worst things you can do and will eventually lead to injury.
If you want pain-free strength,
you have to do the classic lifts LESS.
Counterintuitive, but more effective than you’d believe.
There are NO mandatory lifts that everyone MUST do to build muscle or strength. Which is why it’s better to use safer & more effective exercises to build power while simultaneously strengthening your joints.
It’s the easiest way to feel great and get ridiculously strong at the same time.

Reason #2
Lifting heavy is NOT inherently dangerous
If you’re hesitant about moving heavy weight, you’re not alone.
But lifting heavy weights IS NOT dangerous. Being weak is dangerous!
When trained the right way, strength is the #1 characteristic to SAFELY do things you didn’t think were possible. This is what most programs are missing.
STRENGTH development that’s as smart as it is sustainable.
We’ve had clients terrified of lifting heavy become empowered beyond belief, after training with Functional Power Training. They were told they’d never squat over 185 pounds. Now they’re breaking pain-free personal records week after week.
Despite what you were told, there’s nothing
inherently dangerous about lifting heavy when it’s done right.
Strength work can help you become more mobile, jump higher, run faster, hit harder, increase power, add muscle, and become more injury resistant.
Without a solid foundation of strength, and ability to lift heavy weights safely and effectively, you risk it all.

Reason #3
Most programs play to your strengths and ignore your weaknesses.
Most programs play to your strengths but never address the weak links holding you back from reaching your potential.
We all know once you stop evolving you die. So doing the same old crappy things will get you the same old crappy results. And when you ignore your weaknesses, you turn those poor results into injuries.
You have to earn the right to safely do things you’ve never done.
Which means you have to be open to new training methods, to training things you might suck at, to working on your weak points, and to training smarter.
Only then can you unlock levels of strength and performance while bulletproofing your body from chronic aches and pains.
I’ve helped thousands of people do it, and I want to help you do it too.

Why you should seriously
re-consider your training
You’re attracted to a particular style of training because it’s what you know, like, and maybe something you USED to have some success with.
The problem is, it’s RARELY the best way to train. And as you know, what worked well in high school doesn’t work the same way as when you’re in your 30’s and 40’s.
For most people, this means lifting the same weight week after week. Never getting stronger. Never making meaningful jumps in weight. Never breaking real PR’s that mean something you. On top of that, the wear and tear on your body takes it to a whole new hell.
Before you know it, you can barely walk up the stairs without having to hold onto the handrail. Your shoulders and elbows are screaming when you reach to put on your seat belt. You can’t even bend down to play with your kids without feeling like a knife is being jammed into your back.
So ask yourself. is your training taking far more than it’s giving?
Good training can put an end to this.
GREAT training will take things to an entirely different level, by bulletproofing your body and unlocking your potential!
Take a second to write this down so you never forget it…
The second you trade joint-health and longevity for a small boost in performance, you’re GUARANTEED to lose both!
Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not in a month from now. But eventually it will bite you in the ass and you’ll be at risk of having your training, and your health stolen from you.
That’s a hard pill to swallow because most training programs favor short-term ego strokes, rather than long-term sustainable results and longevity.
I don’t care who you are, you MUST chase health if you’re chasing optimal performance.
✘ Screw the hardcore powerlifting mentality.
✘ Screw the archaic bodybuilding workouts.
✘ Screw the bogus sports performance training myths.
✘ And screw the old physical therapy techniques.
Once you throw these faulty training methods in the trash, ONLY then will you be able to unlock your true potential.

“Functional Power Training REBUILT my body. At 44 years of age, I blew past all my old PR’s and my physique improved”
After 24 years as a Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Tech in the U.S. Navy, I had serious wear and tear on my body. Especially after my second hip resurfacing surgery. Functional Power Training REBUILT my body. I went from barely being able to walk straight to having full functional movement in my hips, shoulders, and elbows. Now I’m blowing past PR’s on all my lifts. At 44 years old, I’m back squatting 375 lbs, deadlifting 505 lbs, and bench pressing 345lbs. And my physique has improved! I can finally train hard again and stay pain-free.
– Jason Erickson, Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician in the U.S. Navy
“I’ve felt so much stronger and more confident that I completed my first marathon! Something I’d never thought I’d try.”
I started Functional Power Training after retiring from professional baseball in hopes that I could train hard while reducing the last 6 years of wear and tear and two reconstructive elbow surgeries. Not only have my classic barbell lifts continued to climb every week, but I feel stable in joints which always gave me issues during my career as a pro. Heck, I’ve felt so much stronger and more confident that I completed my first marathon! Something I’d never thought I’d try. This is a true testament that Functional Power Training is world class.
– Dace Kime, Performance Coach and Former Professional Baseball Player

“After not squatting or deadlifting for over two years, I’m back and stronger than ever.”
My back was so fried I could hardly train and I constantly felt worn down. If you would have told me that I would be back under the bar, stronger than ever, setting new PR’s while getting my mobility back even as I aged, I would have laughed at you. After not squatting or deadlifting for over two years, I am back literally stronger than ever. I set records in my squat, deadlift, and bench press. I’m benching 50-pounds heavier pain-free and I’m still going up! This is not your average program. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
– Becky Peterson, Banking Executive
What it means to be resilient…
A resilient body has the ability to recover, adjust, and easily adapt.
True resiliency means, that no matter what your body is challenged with, you withstand the most difficult conditionings without crumbling, and rise to the occasion to perform, recover and maintain.
It’s like being a thick elastic band. It doesn’t just snap back when stretched and put to the test.
It GAINS ENERGY in the process.
Rigid yet flexible, and ready to snap back to its true form.
When you’re resilient, your body won’t fall apart, break down, or crumble under pressure. It will hold its form and helps achieve the task at hand.
Being resilient doesn’t just help you survive, it helps you THRIVE.
This is what your training SHOULD be about, but it’s also the missing link to almost every program out there, even the best.
Most people think you’re either born resilient or you’re not… You’re strong or weak, hurt or healthy, athletic or un-athletic. And of course resilient or fragile.
The truth is, a resilient body isn’t something you’re born with. It’s not a lucky card handed down from the pain-free gods.
Resiliency is EARNED over time.
Pain and injuries become few and far between. You recover from training sessions faster. You bounce back from flare-ups quicker than ever.
In order to do so, you have to train the OPPOSITE of how most coaches tell you.
YES. Do the opposite of what you’ve been told for your entire training career.
Most coaches only focus on performance. To them, it’s the #1 thing and the only thing.
Sounds cool until you realize this is what’s shortening peoples training careers and destroying your quality of life. Training performance as the only priority is the biggest mistake leaving people burned out, broken down, and hurt at record rates.
It’s like programming with the blinders on. What you need to do is train performance while simultaneously improving health, resiliency, and longevity.
With Functional Power Training you’re about to discover the first and only strength-performance program to unlock new levels of strength, transform your physique, and improve your longevity.

The biggest and best strength training resource in the world… and the results are incomparable
“I added 12 pounds of muscle and crushed my lifetime PR’s in the squat, bench, and deadlift by 60-70 pounds while staying pain-free!”
Charley Gould“All of my personal best lifts have gone up. That’s saying a lot coming from a beat up 39-year old lifter.”
Jeff Andres“I went from barely being able to walk straight to having full functional movement and breaking PR’s pain-free.”
Jason Erickson“I gained 10lbs of muscle and maintained my body fat”
Justin Farnsworth“Not only am I stronger than ever, but I feel healthier today than I have ever been in my life.”
Luis Huete“I’ve felt so much stronger and more confident that I completed my first marathon!”
Dace Kime“I’m benching 50-pounds heavier, pain-free, and I’m still going up!”
Becky Petterson“Deadlifting over 250 pounds without PAIN. This is huge for me!”
Ashlee Szabo“It’s crazy how much stronger and more resilient I feel.”

Shay HaddowThis is NOT your average meathead powerlifting program—FPT sets a new standard
Functional Power Training is NOT just another powerlifting program…
It’s NOT a one-dimensional training system designed to get your a little stronger at the expense of your joints, aesthetics, and your health. I could care less about putting your quality of life at risk for a few measly pounds on the bar.
We are going to get you brutally strong, but do it the RIGHT way.
While everyone else is focused on short-term performance at the expense of everything else, Functional Power Training will give you performance AND long-term health, so you can keep breaking records week after week without getting injured.
Other coaches claim their programs train multiple physical qualities at once, but there are very few who know how to do this effectively.
The problem is, they confuse variety with progression. Instead of intelligent programming to help you break records week after week, they just throw a bunch of random junk together and call it “variety”.
Unlike traditional strength and power programs, Functional Power Training’s ‘Mixed Modality Method’ trains you for life and longevity, so you’re strong when you need it.
If you’re familiar with Functional HYPERTROPHY Training, you may be wondering how Functional Power Training stacks up against something that’s helped THOUSANDS of people worldwide…
There’s simply no comparison.
Functional Power Training is 10x the product, gives you 10x the value, 10x the results, and 10x training education.
If you thought FHT was game-changing, just wait. I literally believe this is the best program ever released in the industry. Period!

While everyone else is focused on short-term performance at the expense of everything else, Functional Power Training will give you performance AND long-term health, so you can keep breaking records week after week without getting injured.
Other coaches claim their programs train multiple physical qualities at once, but there are very few who know how to do this effectively.
The problem is, they confuse variety with progression. Instead of intelligent programming to help you break records week after week, they just throw a bunch of random junk together and call it “variety”.
Unlike traditional strength and power programs, Functional Power Training’s ‘Mixed Modality Method’ trains you for life and longevity, so you’re strong when you need it.
If you’re familiar with Functional HYPERTROPHY Training, you may be wondering how Functional Power Training stacks up against something that’s helped THOUSANDS of people worldwide…
There’s simply no comparison.
Functional Power Training is 10x the product, gives you 10x the value, 10x the results, and 10x training education.
If you thought FHT was game-changing, just wait. I literally believe this is the best program ever released in the industry. Period!
The world’s leading resource

“There are few things in this world that feel better than being strong, capable and pain-free. Functional Power Training is the best way to get you there.”
As a former All-American collegiate athlete, professional soccer player, and Doctor of Physical Therapy I had a strong base of strength training knowledge. I was looking for new methods that could not only get me stronger but also keep me pain and injury free. Functional Power Training over delivered. I am BY FAR the strongest I have ever been and have been able to continually set new PR’s which I never thought were possible. My squat/bench/deadlift went from 350/265/405 to 400/300/500 in just a few short weeks and I didn’t have to do them every week, while gaining 10 pounds of muscle.
– Dr. Justin Farnsworth, Sports Performance Physical Therapist, Former Professional Soccer Player
“It sounds ridiculous, but it’s not an exaggeration… I’m breaking personal records almost every single day for months on end.”
I had a long lifting background prior but I’ve experienced unbelievable progress since starting Functional Power Training. I’m talking about hitting personal records nearly weekly for the last few weeks while staying injury-free… which has never happened to me. This has been a game-changer for me. All my lifts have shot up. My single leg exercises are up nearly 70 lbs, my squat is up over 50 lbs, my deadlift is up 30 lbs, and my bench is up 20 lbs. I know it sounds ridiculous but it’s not an exaggeration to say I am breaking personal records almost every single day for months on end. I strongly recommend Functional Power Training to anyone who is serious about getting stronger.

“The best part of it all, is that my body feels amazing even though I’m lifting more frequently & heavier”
As a personal trainer, I’m always looking to learn new ways to help my clients. Functional Power Training has blown my expectations out of the water. In 3 months, I put on 4lbs of lean body mass… my squat went from 370lbs for 2 reps to 405 for one… my deadlift went from 440 to 470… and my bench press has gone from a wobbly 265 to a stable 280. The best part of all is that my body feels amazing even though I’m lifting more frequently & heavier. Long gone are the days of constant lower back issues. Just goes to show how proper programming will enhance your life. The ability to be able to receive personalized day to day coaching from Dr. John Rusin’s team has been amazing. I wish I had this years ago.
– Asai Adame, Personal Trainer, Model, Former College Baseball Player
“I highly recommended FPT to anyone looking to get and stay bigger, stronger, more powerful, and injury-free.”
Being a sports performance coach, I understand the power of setting serious strength goals for your training, and following an intelligent plan. After years of writing my own programs and hitting frequent plateaus, I decided to give John’s FPT a serious go. All I can say is “WOW.” Functional Power Training is extremely well designed and perfectly delivered. I finally have a strength and power system that has brought structure back to my own training and even broadened my scope of pain-free training and max power training variations. I highly recommended FPT to anyone looking to get and stay bigger, stronger, more powerful, and injury-free.

The Secret: “Mixed Modality Method”
Trains ALL Physical Traits Simultaneously
The ‘Mixed Modality Method’ attacks weak areas popular training programs can’t:
- New training sessions every day. Daily workouts include strategic variations on the classic barbell lifts and intelligent accessories so you keep making progress and never get bored.
- Mixed training methods. Develop strength in the big lifts like a powerlifter. Build functional muscle like a bodybuilder. Condition and recover like an professional athlete.
- Intelligent sequencing. Allows you to build muscle, burn fat, get strong and perform at the highest level SIMULTANEOUSLY.
- Advanced speed, power, and dynamic-effort training sessions. Enhances performance and unlocks new levels of strength so you can train more and recover faster.
- Unconventional intensity techniques. New challenges to help you grow by pushing you from all angles… without breaking down your body.
- Performance recovery systems used by MLB, NFL, and Olympic Teams. Regenerative sessions to improve cardiovascular capacity to recover fast so you can feel and perform your best.
The ‘Mixed Modality Method’ takes the best training system and molds it together to create a powerful and SYNERGISTIC training system.
I started testing these methods on myself and a handful of my inner circle years ago. It’s worked wonders. Since then, I’ve refined the systems and validated the process on thousands of lifters over the last 3 years.
Without fail, everyone who follows FPT comes out stronger, more confident, and most importantly, pain-free.
As game-changing as the training inside FPT is, it still isn’t one of the best parts.
Functional Power Training is a one-stop-shop. The ULTIMATE resource for pain-free strength and performance.
Not only will you see dramatic results but you have the freedom to CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING into your lifestyle—From the warm-up, to the training, to the recovery sessions, and beyond.
It’s never been easier to fit such an effective training program into your life, but we’ll show you exactly how to do.
You won’t find any other resource you can compare it to.

What other people are saying…
“I’ve been training for 14 years and this is the first program I’ve seen produce long-term results at an accelerated rate”
Before I started Functional Power Training, PR’s on the big lifts were few and far between. Whenever I did hit them, they came at the expense of my lower back. With FPT I added 80lbs to my deadlift, 90lbs to my squat and 50lb on the bench… that’s 220 pounds to my total! I’ve been training for 14 years and this is the first program I’ve seen produce long-term results at an accelerated rate. I’m stronger than ever, and I feel healthier today than I ever have in my life. This program brings things to a different level. Thank you for shattering my expectations with a life-changing and timeless training program like Functional Power Training.
– Luis Huete, Former Elite MMA Athlete, Strength and Conditioning Coach
“The best part is how strong and healthy I feel”
Wow, what a great experience this has been. I’ve shattered personal records and added weight to nearly ALL of my lifts. I’ve managed to add 60 lbs to my deadlift, 50 lbs to my squat, and 35 lbs to my bench press. But the best part is how strong and healthy I feel. Functional Power Training pushes you but after every week you are more prepared and more confident than the week before. I’m so excited I have this program to help me stay healthy and dominate in the gym.
– James Maher, Financial Analyst
“There isn’t a better way to get brutally strong, burn fat, increase athleticism and build muscle.”
Training on Functional Power Training over the last 3 months has been a massive game changer to my training, my physique, and my overall resilience. I can’t recommend this program enough. It is extremely intelligent, but it is also brutally tough. Even while going hard and heavy, I never found myself feeling burnt out. All of my personal best lifts have gone up. That’s saying a lot coming from a beat up 39-year old lifter. The training sessions are perfectly designed and force you to leave it all on the gym floor while still being able to recover. There isn’t a better way to get brutally strong, burn fat, increase athleticism and build functional muscle.
– Jeff Andres, Red Seal Construction Plumbing Foreman
“I’ve gained nearly 18 pounds of muscle while dropping 3% body fat and I feel more resilient and mobile than ever before.”
“In just 3-months of Functional Power Training programming utilizing Dr. Rusin’s methods, I’ve gained nearly 18 pounds of muscle while dropping 3% body fat. I’ve increased my bench by 40 pounds, my squat by 70 pounds, and my deadlift by 95 pounds. But FPT isn’t just about the big 3 classic lifts either. FPT is a 360-degree approach to pain-free performance. I feel more resilient and mobile than ever before, and the gains keep coming.”
– Samuel Hershberger, Project Manager at City of Hope Hospital – Los Angeles
“Functional Power Training is the pain-free strength-performance bible!”
The cutting edge when it comes to maximizing human performance and human movement. John is one of the few coaches that has successfully bridged the gap between Physical Therapy and Strength & Conditioning but this program takes things to the next level. Over the years I’ve had the chance to work with some of the most respected strength professionals, but one thing that remains is clear to me is that being a great coach does NOT necessarily mean that you’re great a program design. John is exceptional at both. Functional Power Training is the pain-free strength performance bible!

“I added 12 pounds of muscle and crushed my lifetime PR’s in the squat, bench, and deadlift by 60-70 pounds while staying pain-free!”
As a former division-1 athlete and professional baseball player, I’ve worked with the most elite strength coaches from both collegiate and professional ranks. I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant when I first started because I was coming off 6 months of chronic aches and pains. But 4.5 months in and my results far surpassed anything I’ve ever done before. I added 12 pounds of muscle and crushed my lifetime PR’s in the squat, bench, and deadlift by 60-70 pounds in total while staying pain-free! Plus, John’s insight has been a huge help for my career as a strength and conditioning coach. If you’re serious about getting strong, building muscle, gaining athleticism, staying pain-free, or advancing your knowledge about elite strength and conditioning, I can’t recommend this enough.

“This is the best I’ve ever looked or felt and I’m 46!”
I’ve seen nothing short of AMAZING results. The style of training in Functional Power Training was new to me, but my mind and body adapted quickly. I’m more confident in ALL my lifts. To be honest, I’m shocked at my new strength gains each and every week! I gained a total of 11 lbs in muscle while staying lean so I don’t look bulky at all. In fact, this is the best I’ve ever looked or felt and I’m 46! Functional Power Training has shattered my expectations of what I thought was possible.

I highly recommend this program if you want a challenging program that will build power and strength.

Still Skeptical?
Maybe Functional Power Training is NOT for you
Functional Power Training is NOT for you if:
✘ You have never lifted weights before or are new to lifting.
If you have less than 6-months of serious training experience Functional Power Training is NOT for you. If you’re new to lifting (or are getting back into the swing of things after a long lay off) I recommend my Foundations training system.
✘ You were recently injured and can’t lift or are still recovering from an injury
You need to train hard in order to unlock your potential. You CAN have minor aches and pains (because we all do) but you need to be injury and dysfunction free. If you’re currently injured and can’t lift, we have programs for that, but this isn’t it.
✘ You’re searching for a quick fix without putting in the work.
Yes, this program will get you stronger than ever while helping you build lean muscle, become more resilient, and unlock your athleticism. I guarantee and stand by it. But you have to put in the work, like the success stories you can read on this page.
✘ You don’t like stepping out of your comfort zone
If you don’t like being challenged every single day, Functional Power Training is NOT for you. Every session in the program is unique and requires you to push yourself in new ways.
✘ You like to do the same exact thing every day for months, or YEARS…
If you can’t live without heavy squats, bench presses, and deadlifts 2-3 times per week and you’re not willing to try something new, this is not for you. This program uses exercises that build up weak areas so you stay healthy and smash through personal bests.
Functional Power Training is PERFECT for you if:
✓ You have experience lifting weights and have built a solid foundation
It’s important to have at least 6-months of serious lifting experience. This gives you a solid foundation of strength which is a crucial component for getting strong and powerful. If that’s you, you’re going to be blown away by your results at the end of 12-weeks.
✓ You don’t have any major injuries or pain that prevents you from lifting
Functional Power Training uses effective joint-friendly movements to get you as strong as possible. But if you can’t squat bench press, or deadlift without serious pain you need to take a few steps back before you reap the rewards of this super program.
✓ You’re willing to train hard and follow a proven system
There’s no doubt in my mind this is the most effective strength performance program on the market. You’ll get stronger, leaner, more muscular, feel better, and make your body more resilient. During our first test group, we collected 65+ testimonials that sound almost too good to be true. If you follow the plan you could get results like this too.
✓ You are open to challenges in order to unlock your true potential
If you want to have fun, enjoy your training, and achieve results you didn’t know were possible, you won’t find a better solution. This program is for people who put in the work to see the results.
✓ You love to train and want to be healthy enough so you can do it for life
If you enjoy the way being strong, fit, and healthy makes you feel, then Functional Power Training is for you. I believe your training should improve your performance inside and outside the gym. FPT will shatter your expectations of what you thought was possible.
Still Skeptical?
Maybe Functional Power Training is NOT for you

Frequently Asked Questions:
Functional Power Training was not designed for competitive powerlifters. The sole focus for powerlifting programs is to add pounds to your squat, bench, and deadlift at all costs. Often times, your health and longevity aren’t considered in the slightest. This is where Functional Power Training shines. Not only will you get stronger in all the classic barbell lifts, but carefully designed accessory work will help you look and feel your best too!
This is for people with at least 6 months of strength training experience. If you’re brand new to lifting weights or cannot lift without serious pain Functional Power Training is not for you.
This program is designed to use minimal equipment so that you can do it at any gym, or a basic home gym. You’ll need access to Barbell, squat rack, dumbbells, bench, and bands.

Absolutely not. Functional Power Training is designed to unlock your true potential. So please, by all means, jump, run, play, and compete as much as you’d like. You’ll quickly see how your performance in the gym improves how you look, feel, and perform outside the gym.
Functional Power Training’s main goal is to get you stronger and more powerful than ever before while staying pain-free. The physique transformations are just an added bonus. Whereas the primary focus in Functional Hypertrophy is aesthetics, not performance. If being strong AND looking good is important to you than Functional Power Training is the way to go.

“… My physique is changing and I’ve honestly never felt this confident in my body.”
I’ve seen strength gains in all my major lifts, hitting PR’s I wouldn’t have fathomed a year ago. As a bonus, my physique is changing and I’ve honestly never felt this confident in my body. This program has rejuvenated my love for training and the community is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. As a physical therapist, I often see people at the brink of injury or beyond due to poor training and the broken “no pain no gain” mentality… but this program includes the perfect balance of building up weak links and intelligently incorporating recovery while building new levels of pain-free strength and power. I’ve become a better therapist, lifter, runner and I’m feeling pretty close to invincible these days!” Also, I do not eat meat and was still able to pack on 2 lbs of muscle in 12 weeks!
– Dr. Jayde Woo, Doctor of Physical Therapy
“This is by far the best investment I have ever made in my health and fitness…”
As a former college athlete and current coach, I came in with a strong strength base. But after 3 months of training with Functional Power Training, I smashed my previous records in the squat, deadlift, and bench press. It’s crazy how much stronger and more resilient I feel. Each week, the fresh programming in Functional Power training gets me stronger, faster, and bigger on a consistent basis. This is by far the best investment I have ever made in my health and fitness and I cannot wait to see what else I can achieve with Functional Power Training.
– Shay Haddow, Youth Development Soccer Sports Performance Coach
“For the first time ever, I deadlifted over 400 lbs and it is still going up.”
I was looking to take my training to the next level and FPT was exactly what I needed. My results have been great and I’m loving the evolving training methods. It keeps training fresh. I’ve made some serious lean gains, while improving ALL of my squat, bench, and deadlift, plus many other assistance lifts. For the first time ever, I deadlifted over 400 lbs and it is still going up. If you are looking to take your training to the next level, I highly recommend Functional Power Training.

“As a fitness professional myself, I can’t afford NOT to learn from John.”
The past several months have been amazing. Somehow I’ve ended up stronger, leaner and faster despite training around my inguinal hernia. As a fitness professional myself, I can’t afford NOT to learn from John. I’ve learned so much from his programs and coaching which I’ve been able to use with my clients to get them amazing results as well. The best part is, you never repeat the same exact workout in the full 12 weeks of Functional Power Training. So for the first time in years, I never get bored and always look forward to training.
– Lawrence Lee, Certified Personal Trainer and Strength Coach
