Essential Tool for Selection Prep and Fitness Success

November 17, 2024

The Building the Elite app has been a total game-changer for my fitness and preparation for selection. The structure and guidance it provides are unmatched. Every workout is purposeful, focusing on building not just physical strength but the mental resilience required for the challenges ahead. My fitness level has improved dramatically since I started using this app, and I feel more confident with every session.

What truly sets this app apart is the constant improvements. It’s clear the team is dedicated to making this the best resource out there, and every update adds new features or enhances the experience. The availability of the coaches is out of this world—having access to their expertise and support has made all the difference. They’re responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success.

If you’re serious about selection or just looking to elevate your fitness, this app is a must-have. It’s not just an app; it’s a full-fledged system designed to help you succeed.

Great program. Coaches have done the research and the work to make sure you have access to many types of programs to best fit your needs/goals. Coaches are very responsive and helpful. I’d say this is one of the best if not the best athletic improvement programs.

Tough and Rewarding Program

September 26, 2024

Been on this program for just over a training cycle; my lifts, work capacity and endurance have risen all across the board. BTE covers lots of the mental aspects of physical training and greatly help me develop a very solid habit of turning up and kept at it. The coaches are very hands-on. I am not on here for the SOF Prep but their training ladder is solid!

Highly recommended for those that want a well-rounded physical functionality while maintaining very good mobility.

Mental and Physical improvement

September 23, 2024

Started with the BTE program and app from May 2024 onwards. Massively improved all my physical stats, from ruck to bench press. What I find unique about the BTE app / coaching style, is the blend of physical and mental lessons. I find that besides improving all my physical stats, I improved most mentally, from tricks as segmenting to compartmentalization to mindfulness. I would suggest anyone to prepare for selection using BTE due to their useful combination of mental and physical aspects.

Best all around program

August 29, 2024

Awesome balance between strength and running/rucking work. I haven’t run this fast or efficiently since high school track 15 years ago, without compromising any strength. Easy to use app, and the coaches are always available to answer questions should they arrive.

FAQ

Training is delivered via the BTE Training App. Once you sign up, we'll send you an invite link to set up an account and download the iOS or Android App. Once you've set up your account, we'll upload training.

Due to the individualization process that the app uses to create your training program, there are hundreds of different training programs. However, there are five main tracks:

  1. SOF Selection (8-20 hours per week)
    • You are preparing for a US military SOF (any branch) selection process. 
    • We also have programs for: Australian SASR, British SAS/SBS, CANSOF JFT-2 & CSOR, and FBI HRT.
    • We likely have a program for you if you are prepping for any SOF or high-level law enforcement selection. If you have any questions, email us at [email protected].
  2. Operator (5-7 hours per week)
    • You are an operator looking to improve fitness across the board, stay healthy, and perform well when operational. 
  3. LEO (4-5 hours per week)
    • You work in law enforcement (police, sheriff, homeland security, FBI, etc) or are preparing to work in this field. 
  4. Fire (4-6 hours per week)
    • You work as a firefighter (urban or wildland) or are preparing to work in this field. 
  5. Civilian (3-4 hours per week) 
    • Your job doesn’t rely on your physical performance; if it does, it falls outside the categories listed. Regardless of your occupation, you want to be capable of excelling at any physical task while becoming more mentally and emotionally resilient.  

Once you choose a track, you’ll work through the onboarding questions and assessments to build a program based on your goals and overall fitness.

Yes. Instead of an arbitrary or one-size-fits-all approach based on a goal that makes a ton of assumptions, your goals are defined by your career path or desired capability. From there, the training is individualized based on your current fitness level. 

So, if there are two people training for the same goals, the person with a huge endurance background doesn’t get the same program as the individual who is incredibly strong, but hasn’t been doing much endurance training. This leads to far more effective training based on you, not just your goals. 

How many days you train each week depends on what you’re training for and how fit you are. Regardless, you can always ‘pause’ the program to catch up, skip workout days, reduce the volume of a workout, and adjust the schedule on the fly. All of these options make it easy to adjust your training when life happens.

Each training session provides an expected completion time and is also labeled to help you decide which ones to save for the days when you’re fresh, and which you can knock out on busier days or when you’re a little more fatigued.   

You can easily look ahead to preview what’s coming up and adjust the training schedule accordingly. You can adjust your training in three ways: 

  1. Adjust: You can adjust which training sessions are assigned to each day in the next week. This allows you to adjust training based on your schedule. 
  2. Pause: Programs are assigned when you need them, not on a never ending loop. If you miss a few days or are on vacation for a week you can easily pick up where you left off. When you need a new program it will show up. 
We can provide guidance on how to adjust your training program depending on the demands of your job or PT, or we can modify your program if the ongoing workload is high enough to merit changes to your training program. 
 
Regardless of the situation, you have access to BTE coaches to help you adjust your training program as needed.
