We've been working with tactical athletes on the job for years now, and have long recognized that the strongest people are not the ones who spend all of their time in the gym, but the people who continue to work at getting stronger no matter their circumstances. Born from our love of efficiency and our belief that something is always better than nothing, our Tactical Minimalist programming requires only a sandbag or a kettlebell and your willingness to make it work.
