Legacy Strength & Conditioning

The Protector program has been designed for first responders and shift workers to provide a flexible approach to training.

Time is your most valuable asset. With long hours, an unsociable work schedule, and a high-stress workload, you don't want to be worried about getting a workout in. You also don't want to spend 90+ minutes in the gym when you have other aspects of your life you need to focus on.

BUT

You need to be fit for your job. You need to be capable, ready, and at the peak of performance.

Enter Protector.

The Protector program has four training days a week: Upper and Lower Body Strength, Aerobic Capacity, and Glycolytic Capacity. The sessions are designed to get you in and out of the gym in 45-60 minutes, and we leave no stone unturned. The training days are flexible to meet your schedule demands, and we even have "No equipment" options for every single day and every single movement for those times when the day runs away from you, your shift runs over, or you're traveling away from home.

Like all Legacy programs, Protector places a premium on peak performance and operational capability. Performance is everything, and real-world results matter.

Through Legacy, we have successfully coached multiple individuals using our programs, enabling them to reach their goals and become valuable assets to their chosen professions.

Optimise Time

Time is precious for first responders & shift workers. Protector optimises it with 45-60 min sessions, ensuring effective workouts without prolonged gym hours. The schedule is flexible, so you're able to adjust your calendar in Train Heroic to fit around your schedule! As long as you can hit your sessions each week, we are happy!

Performance for First Responders

Say goodbye to generic bodybuilding routines! Train like an athlete and prioritise performance. No more feeling weak, no more feeling gassed out. We prioritise a high level of strength along with a large aerobic base. Pair this with sprinting and plyometrics and we create an all round high performer ready to tackle any task in their way.

No Equipment Options

For each movement, every day, a no-equipment alternative is available. Whether you've ended a late shift and can't hit the gym, you're on holiday, or prefer home workouts, we've got you covered. No more excuses, no missed sessions!

FAQs

Where do I start?

Start on the day you join the program. Don't try and start at the beginning of a cycle, after a week or so you'll be caught up.

Im new to weight training, is this a problem?

No. We only use basic movements. If you're new to weights this isn't a problem you will just use lighter loads. If you have specific questions send us a DM. We also have no equipment options!

What if I miss a day?

Ideally try to get it done at some point in the week when it fits your schedule. If not, its not a huge deal, stay consistent with the week and get what you can done! We have 4 training days in a 7 day week so make the schedule fit. If you can only do 2 sessions prioritise the 2 strength days.

What if I can't get to the gym or I don't have a piece of equipment?

Every day has no equipment options so you can even get a workout done in your living room if need be!

What if I have more questions?

We have a programming FAQ post pinned on our instagram. Failing that message us through our DM's and we will bore you to death for hours on strength and conditioning.

What's your background?

We are a group of individuals who are serving in the Royal Marines and RAF. We have deployed to The Mediterranean, The Caribbean, Afghanistan and The Middle East. We have served at fighting units within 3 CDO Brigade, as Instructors at CTC and within the Special Forces Support Group.
