Competitive functional fitness is a rapidly growing and internationally popular sport that tests an athletes’ all-round athletic ability in a competitive situation.
In the United Kingdom over 50,000 athletes compete in competitions every year and over 300,000 people participate in functional fitness training at least once a week.
The FRF(UK) was established in 2016 to govern and regulate the sport in the United Kingdom, representing and protecting the interests of all stakeholders in the community.
The primary goal of our federation is to achieve formal recognition of competitive functional fitness as a sport in the United Kingdom, and thereby to secure its future for the benefit of all community stakeholders.
The FRF(UK) is a founding member of the International Functional Fitness Federation (iF3). The iF3 leads over 40 national governing bodies to lobby for the inclusion of the sport in the Olympic Games.
As a company limited by guarantee we are run by and for our members – any revenue that we generate is reinvested for the benefit of the sport.
Our success, and therefore the future of the sport we love, depends on you. Please get involved by becoming a supporter, member, officer and/or director of the federation.
