MILITARY PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT & MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
STRENGTH & POWER
Regardless of your role in the military, maintaining adequate relative strength and power are two of the most important physical traits. We focus on developing strength that can be applied in real-world settings - from carrying heavy gear and operating in full kit to handling random, heavy objects. We can tailor the emphasis on absolute and relative strength to suit your job and operational setting.
MOVEMENT & ATHLETICISM
Moving well is essential to reducing injury risk and achieving a long and successful career. It also allows you to train consistently and enjoy your work with fewer aches and pains. Maintaining your ability to sprint, change directions quickly, jump over obstacles, and perform many other athletic maneuvers also enables you to perform at your best in any situation.
CONDITIONING
We tailor your conditioning program to meet the demands of your job and your goals. Regardless of the specifics of your job, recovering rapidly after hard efforts is essential for performing well in any scenario. We develop this capacity through targeted conditioning work to keep you fit, healthy, confident, and able to perform at your best.
PROGRAM DURATION
Our program has no set length because it's highly adaptable and tailored to the individual, their job, physical baseline, work schedule, and goals, among other factors.
We offer flexible programming to keep you fit and healthy throughout your career. We can customize days per week, training emphasis, and mix of workout types (strength vs. conditioning). This includes the ability to pursue secondary goals, such as gaining strength, improving athleticism, building muscle, or enhancing conditioning, all while staying well-rounded and healthy.
THE PILLARS OF TRAINING
Training includes conditioning, strength work, calisthenics, athletic development, and everything else you'll need to be physically prepared to excel in the field. These aren't one-size-fits-all programs. Each program is based on your fitness, specific limiting factors, and timeline. PR tracking, suggested weights, running and rucking speeds, and heart rate zones based on your specific capabilities help you get the most out of every training session.
We deliver daily mental skill lessons to ensure you have the mental skills to navigate the physical, emotional, and social challenges of your career, including pain, fatigue, and cognitive demands. Every training session focuses on a specific mental skill. Daily lessons help you build mental skills to become more resilient and capable week after week, month after month.

Reviews
Trust the Process
BTE have been outstanding. Over the last 8 months from a physical performance standard to the metal aspect I’ve improved significantly using this programming. Nothing is neglected and left to chance.
The BTE team are always reachable and invested. If you have questions, need changes they always help and give insight into what is going on. I cannot recommend this any higher. Best decision I’ve made.
Deliberate, focused, awesome.
I’d heard nothing but good things about BTE, all of which were confirmed when I jumped onto the programming. The training programs are focused and deliberate, and the app is super user friendly. The mental skills pieces seem to come right as you need them, and in my case, applying them in daily training shows me the benefit of this holistic approach to preparing for SF selection. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Excellent
I started off my journey with BTE in January of 2024 once I heard they were opening to civilians. This by far been the best investment of my time and money. These dudes know what they are talking about. Trust the process and you will see the results you want. Honestly this is the best value for essentially a custom tailored program to attack your weakness and improve yourself overall. They have also been extremely flexible with unforeseen circumstances allowing me to pause my program and return once I was able. I cannot recommend this program enough. if you are on the fence at all, do it. You will not regret it.
So much more than a workout program
I’ve done several different “tactical” programs. BTE is my favorite. I can only speak to the selection prep, but the whole experience is excellent. Not only is the programming well thought out and surprisingly individualized, but the mental skills development is extremely helpful. I’ve found myself applying some of the methods outside of the day to day training. Additionally, their running form course and nutrition resources have helped me out a lot. Big thumbs up from me.
Excellent program.
I am highly satisfied with the training program so far.
The app and programming are detailed and thorough but not unnecessarily complicated. The accompanying videos and tips for each exercise are helpful. The coaches have been diligent in responding to my questions and providing feedback. I know the “why” behind each exercise and each session I’m tasked with – a credit to these chaps’ professionalism and care in arming you with information and their wealth of knowledge. It’s also been flexible for life things which have popped up.
The on-demand extra content including nutrition and mental skills are also excellent.
These lads make it easy to put your trust in them for your time and energy’s investment into your training.
Best-in-class programming and coaching
I’ve been training with BTE for about a year. They’ve helped me improve my overall fitness and resilience, but the part I’ve been most impressed with is the emphasis on mental skills as part of the training process. This is where I’ve seen the most benefit in my work, school, and in life.
App Built For You And Your Life
I work two jobs and didn’t think I’d have time or energy to train. The app took the planning, tracking, and organizing out of my hands and let me focus solely on training. The coaches work with you and you can move around your own schedule, that way you are able to train at your convenience. My strong areas were maintained and my weak areas exploded in progress. Amazing app and coaches
Fantastic, focused training.
The coaches listen and construct really effective programming around your needs. Their response time is perfect and the app is easy to use! Highly highly recommend, feeling in good hands for selection pathway.
Preparedness through Education
Utilizing BTE for a LE focused SOG selection course has opened my eyes to how training is supposed to be conducted. Not only have I grown physically but mentally as well. These lessons leave me feeling prepared for any possible challenge. And physical performance skyrocketed. I constantly use their mental tools and breath work in my role on a regional SWAT team. Cannot recommend enough.
Extremely Impressed with the Program
I’m not training for SOF selection but I’m finding this program extremely valuable in maintaining my physical relevancy in the last quarter of my military career. At 40 I incorrectly assumed my physical peak was long behind me. Nine months into this program I’m absolutely shattering my lifetime PRs across the board, and keeping up with guys in my unit that are 15 years younger. Stay consistent and trust the process.
