Modern Athlete

Warfighter is built for athletes who have to show up - military, law enforcement, fire, and anyone who wants to train to a standard.

Our training isn't about what you're capable of on your best day - it's what you can still do on your worst day that matters.

Warfighter is the only program built by SOF veterans and D1 coaches that have trained thousands of athletes to perform on demand - any time, any day, without notice.

It runs a continuous 12 month plan - a structured system that builds strength and endurance together.

You'll build muscle, strength, and power, then be able to express it all under fatigue.

The conditioning is built in parallel: aerobic base, mid-distance run and ruck, work capacity, and ascent conditioning.

No more bouncing between random programs in no order - each phase prepares you for the next.

When you join - you join in the current phase and the coaches scale you in.

Athletes who enter the system don't look the same when they come out the other side - stronger, better body composition, able to move further and faster.

We're so confident in this training that if you're not lifting heavier, running faster, with improved body composition after 90 days - we'll refund 100% of your money.

Here's where most programs fall short:

They're built on short term intensity - not long term sustainability.

The cycles are in random order.

They're more concerned with looking flashy than getting results.

Warfighter provides structure.

The Build, Output, Armor (BOA) system allows you to scale to 3, 4, or 5 sessions per week when life gets busy.

The 12 month macrocycle means each cycle prepares you for the next.

The Core 6 Standards (Deadlift, Bench, Squat, Pull-Ups, Run, Ruck) are tested every cycle so you can measure your progress.

Here's what's included:

Weekly programming with limited equipment options for each day
Nutrition guide + live calls with our Registered Dietitian
Mental performance training
Direct access to real coaches - not bots
1,000+ teammates who hold the standard

Strength, Conditioning, Nutrition, Durability, Cognitive Performance - all under one membership.

Move Further & Faster

Warfighter athletes have a gas tank that doesn't quit. You need to move fast and far for however long is required - when there's not a game clock. On Warfighter you'll build both your run and ruck with low impact alternatives for athletes managing joint pain or typical wear and tear. Be the one who can keep going when everyone else is smoked.

Strong, Lean, and Athletic

A huge deadlift isn't very useful if you can't walk up a flight of stairs. Warfighter doesn't train only absolute strength - we care about your strength to weight ratio. You'll be strong and muscular, but more importantly, you'll be able to move your body like an athlete. The ones who do this right end up stronger AND leaner. Higher output, less dead weight slowing you down.

Train for the Job

Sprints. Change of direction. Loaded carries. Moving in gear while fatigued. Warfighter is built around what actually matters for occupational performance - not what looks flashy on Instagram. Used by some of the best shooters in the world for this reason.

75 Lbs Lost. Still Pulling 600+

This is what Warfighter builds. Strong, lean, and conditioned. You don't have to choose between being jacked and being conditioned. The athletes who stick around long enough are stronger and faster than they've ever been.

Every single coach possessing advanced degrees in human performance, CSCS accreditation, and decades of working with athletes who have to perform when it matters.

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.

FAQs

Do I start at the beginning of the cyle or start where the team is?

We prefer you pick up where the team is. Your coaches are able to help you scale the volume, so you acclimate appropriately to the team. In the long run, you will have more success and fun staying on the same page as your teammates, and it helps us provide better coaching.

What if I don't have the equipment for some of the exercises?

Your coaches are standing by to assist. Just reach out in the forum and we will get you set up with a substitution that works with what you have on hand.

Modern Athlete Liability Statement

Consult a medical professional prior to beginning any fitness program. By signing up, the user is voluntarily participating in fitness training entirely at their own risk and waives any right to bring legal action against Modern Athlete Strength Systems, LLC, or associated trainers.

Can I add additional push-ups and calisthenics?

Sure - if you're getting ready for a Physical Fitness Assessment and need to add some test specific movements, you can do that. Just use our chat function and the coach will help you incorporate them in the program where it makes sense.

Disclaimer of Purchase and Use

It is your obligation and responsibility if you are a SOCOM employee, or applying for a job in SOCOM (reservist, AD, GS, or contractor) to not purchase services from Modern Athlete. We cannot provide product or services due to potential violations of the POTFF contract.

Is this designed to prepare me for any selection or specific event?

No. This is a general physical preparedness program and designed for anyone who wants to get faster, stronger, and more athletic.

Did I miss the start of the annual plan?

No. The 12-month plan runs continuously, not on a fixed calendar. Whenever you join, you join the team in their current phase, and your coaches scale you in. The plan loops - so over the course of your membership, you'll progress through all four phases. The right time to join is when you decide.

Is this designed for civilians or only military/first responders?

The Warfighter name reflects a standard, not a profession. About 30% of the team isn't "tactical": competitive lifters, BJJ practitioners, outdoor athletes, and people who want to be overall capable. The programming works for anyone who wants to train to a standard, regardless of profession.

How long does it take to see results?

Most athletes see meaningful strength and conditioning improvements within the first 6 weeks if they show up consistently. The 90-day guarantee gives you a full quarter to test that. Time to results can vary based on your training experience and current body composition.

What's tested in the program?

Every cycle ends with Standards Week. We test the Core 6: bench, squat, deadlift, pull-ups, 5-mile run, and 6-mile ruck. Each event has three tiers - Foundational, Performance, and Elite. You'll see exactly where you are and what to attack in the next cycle.

The Proof

Mark Bartos

"MASS programming is by far the best programming I have ever utilized. Coing off a significant back injury, I thought I'd never lift again. The programing has me squatting and deadlifting very near the weights I was at prior to injury. I'm looking forward to continuing programming through MASS!"

Matt Beasley

Verified Athlete

"Working with the team has kept me progressing not just in overall strength, but durability. The programming is challenging, adaptable, and most importantly, effective. Thanks to Brian and Ben, I'm not only able to keep up, but outperform folks half my age."
