Hip pocket power work for active deployments and busy schedules

Alacrity is a power-focused program with the bare minimum of strength and endurance work needed for maintenance.

Great for deployments or training blocks where you’re already wearing kit and moving around a lot

Bound faster and feel more confident dropping off ledges in full kit

Power work is relatively tame, and great for those who have limited exposure to hard impact training.

Use as a recovery phase from more intensive series like Absolution or Deliverance

About Alacrity

Light time and recovery demands, ideal for busy deployments and training schedules

Training sessions 4 days/week. Average 45-60 minutes each.

Includes maintenance loads for strength and endurance training

Ideal if you're busy, have a decent strength and endurance base, but have limited exposure to speed and jump training

Maintenance and Recovery

Alacrity is one of the best recovery programs due to the extremely low training volumes. This also makes it ideal for maintaining high operational readiness when you can't afford the fatigue of more intensive training plans.
