Physical fitness has a long history in the United States. Currently, functional fitness has emerged as a popular, novel method of exercising. Based on years of ethnographic research on a branded version of functional fitness, I argue this form of exercise is an audit system and culture, initiated by the creators of the brand itself, implemented in the gyms, and governed by the participants. This article illustrates that such an exercise regimen is a response to the post‐9/11 world—complete with war on terror, economic insecurity, and border security threats—and provides a window into the necropolitics of elite, white America due to an uncertain, neoliberal future.

健身狂热者：运动作为当代美国即将发生的僵尸启示的答案

身体健康在美国已有悠久的历史。目前，功能性健身已经成为一种流行的新颖锻炼方法。基于对功能性健身品牌版本的民族志研究多年，我认为这种锻炼形式是一种审核系统和文化，由品牌本身的创建者发起，在体育馆中实施并由参与者管理。本文说明，这种锻炼方案是对9/11后世界（对反恐战争，经济不安全和边界安全威胁的完整回应）的回应，并且由于不确定性而为了解精英白种美国的政治亡灵提供了一个窗口，新自由主义的未来。[健身，审核文化，种族，僵尸启示录，美国]
