Real Grip Tactical is here to make the best real world athletes. Our goal is to build strength and endurance for the tactical athlete. We're not here to worry about big biceps but we are here to focus on making you better in real world scenarios. After a decade of military service, being in many real world and training scenarios I realized that gym fit is not the same as field fit. Real Grip Tactical takes functional fitness and field work and meshes them together.
But I'm not a tactical athlete, is this program still good for me?
Absolutely! We're here to promote real world fitness.
Whether it be a ruck march, live fires, field training, schools prep, the academy, or carrying in groceries from the car, our goal is to make you the best at whatever is thrown your way.
