A lot of things have been said about Functional Fitness both good and bad.  When we first decided to open Surge Elite Performance & Fitness coming up on 4 years ago, one of the main things we fell in love with was the Community and the Support from people who we never met before but shared a common love for Functional Fitness and hard work.  This is a video of John Buckner, he is 66 years young which made him the oldest competitor at the FRCF Master’s Competition.  He is completing the last event which was a brutal test that consisted of 40 Power Cleans, 40 Front Squats, 20 Shoulder to Overhead and athletes had to complete 3 over bar burpees each minute in addition to all the work.  John finished 5th out of 6th overall, but in this event was the last one working.  Here he is finishing his final 10 cleans before the time cap.  Listen to the crowd and all the other competitors cheer and help him through these last reps.  This is truly what the COMMUNITY of Functional Fitness is about. John had no chance of winning the event or the competition but he was the most cheered athlete all day long.
