We spent years developing Functional Strength Training to give YOU access to the same type of training that we've used to consistently get unbelievable results with our one-on-one clients.

When you join and become a member of the Team, you'll get access to a group of athletes that train just as hard as you do, and a coaching staff, led by yours truly, that will push you to reach your goals.

Don't get me wrong, you'll still have to put in the work, but it's never been easier to get access to some of the world's best coaching, training and nutritional plans, for just $49/month.

We'll show you what to do and how to do it too.

You'll get new workouts every month, designed to get you the best results, using the most effective and efficient methods of training.

Each movement has been thoughtfully selected so that you're getting the most bang for your buck.

With a customizable training schedule that has proven to be effective for members committed to training between 1-7 days per week, we've got you covered.

FAQs

What Is Functional Strength Training?

Functional Strength Training is Dr. John Rusin’s first and ONLY ongoing monthly membership training platform featuring brand new innovative, effective and progressive programming each and every week. All programming through FST is delivered through the TrainHeroic app so you can track your progress.

What equipment do I need for FST?

FST utilizes simple staple equipment (no specialty machines, chains or setups) but can also be customized to utilize whatever equipment you have at your disposal. It’s recommended that you have a barbell, dumbbells, bands and a rack as a minimum for equipment.

Is there coaching support in FST?

Yes! Every FST Member gets exclusive access to the in-app message boards to ask questions, drop videos, interact with other members and MORE. Diet, lifestyle, recovery, you name it! Everything will be covered and coached right inside of the app.

How many days per week and how long are the workouts?

Every FST programming week will be laid out with 7 potential training days. BUT, based on your schedule and goals, you can customize the number of days YOU train per week anywhere from 1-7 days per week. Each FST workout is approximately 60-minutes. Get in, get results, and get out.

How Is New FST Programming Delivered Each Week?

Your FST programming will be delivered each and every week directly to your profile on the app. You'll get push notifications as reminders of the new week ahead. Complete with training days, coaching notes and video demos, you’ll know exactly what's coming so you can focus on training for RESULTS.

How is FST Different From FPT, FHT and Foundations?

FST is an ongoing membership that evolves with you.. FST is NOT a stagnant 12-week training program (like FHT, FPT etc) but rather offers new workouts every single week. FST is also delivered via the TrainHeroic app so workouts can be logged, tracked and progressed, all on your preferred device.

How Does The FST Membership Work?

It’s EASY! Click the “sign up” button above and choose your membership option (either monthly or annually). From there, you will get immediate access to your account on TrainHeroic, complete with the week's training, message boards, movement demos, and more!
