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.

A sandbag or a kettlebell, that's it.
Each day of programming gives you an option for a sandbag workout and an option for a kettlebell workout. Choose one or the other for the entirety of the program, or switch it up if you have access to both pieces of equipment!

We love the app, but know that sometimes being on the job and in the field doesn't allow for access to your phone or a good connection. This program comes with a PDF download to accompany the video and coaching support that you get in the app, for times when you can't be plugged in.
