Build a bedrock foundation of strength and endurance.

Our massively popular Warfighter training team is designed for individuals of intermediate to advanced training experiences, but what about if you're just starting to train and need to build a big base of strength and endurance before jumping into more advanced techniques?

Or coming back after a training hiatus and want to build the foundation back up?

That's why we created Warfighter: Foundations.

Based off our training program for tactical athletes, Warfighter: Foundations should be your first stop when starting to take training seriously.

Think of it this way...

It takes time and work to build a highway, but once it's done, you get what you are going a helluva lot faster than taking the back roads.

This is why building your foundation is so important.

We are going to build the highway system that will set you up to achieve your goal in the fastest and most direct route possible.

When you're done with the program, there's a code for 30% off the next year on our Warfighter training team.

Build an Aerobic Base
It sucks when you jump into a program and get your ass kicked by the conditioning every day. On WFF, we'll build your aerobic base and start with your current pace and fitness level. This is your starting point to moving faster and further.

A Foundation of Strength
You're going to build strength across the foundational lifts....squat, deadlift, bench press, row, overhead press, and pull-ups. If you get strong in these lifts and establish good quality of movement, this will set you up for success in EVERYTHING you do after this program.

Cool Down: Box Breathing

Breathe in on a 4 count, hold for a 4 count, exhale 4-8 seconds, pause for about 4 seconds before your next breath. You can elevate your feet on a bench while you do this or go outside for a walk. Our intent with the cool-down is to simply down-regulate from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state. This helps us begin the recovery process.
