+ Goal and career-specific programs (more details on specific programs can be found further down on this page)

  • SOF Prep: Specific selection prep programs for every branch of the US Military (Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines). We also offer programs for the Australian SASR, British SAS/SBS, CANSOF JTF-2 & CSOR, as well as the FBI HRT. This large variety of programs allows us to prepare you for nearly any SOF selection.

  • LEO: Programs for law enforcement (police, sheriff, homeland security, FBI) or those preparing to work in this field.

  • Military: We offer a range of programs tailored to your specific job, availability, and career goals.
  • Civilian: Perfect for anyone who wants to excel at any physical task while becoming more physically, mentally, and emotionally resilient.

+ Understand your weaknesses and target them

The BTE Training App automates many of the processes we use as coaches. It will assess your strengths and weaknesses and create a semi-individualized & goal-specific program based on your goals. Our fitness algorithm provides an in-depth overview of where you need to focus your training efforts. Working with BTE coaches, we'll use that data to adjust your training program to maintain strengths and improve weaknesses.

+ Build mental skills

Every training session includes a specific mental skill focus. Daily lessons help you build mental skills to become more resilient and capable week after week, month after month. 

+ Unlimited access to BTE coaches to ask questions & get answers 

You can message the world-class BTE coaching team anytime to get your questions quickly answered.

+ Adjust workouts based on your schedule

Change your weekly structure, and pause training when needed. Whatever your schedule, the program can adapt to fit it.

+ Learn about the 'why' behind your training sessions

Learn why specific methods and training sessions are assigned to you and how they will help you achieve your goals.

+ Track progress and get individualized guidance for every training session

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.

+ Automatic adjustments

Show up and do the work; the app takes care of the rest. You'll be guided to review and adjust your strategies based on your physical and mental performance.

+ On-demand workouts

Finishers, movement circuits, bodyweight workouts, and add-ons are always available.

Warning: We are not for everyone

Our training programs are designed to be effective, not entertaining. You will be asked to do things you find boring, tedious, and that you are not good at. This is precisely why it works, but it also requires a professional mindset - setting aside what you want today, to do what is necessary to get where you want to be months and years from now.

If you're looking for something new and exciting or pursuing a series of short-term goals, our program is not the right fit for you. If you're willing to train like a professional and focus on a single goal for 6-24+ months, emphasizing both your training regimen and your behavior outside of training (such as nutrition, sleep, and stress management), you'll achieve exceptional results.

Best Performance Training Program

April 24, 2026

This is by far the best training program I’ve run for increasing performance across all domains. Coaches are extremely responsive and willing to answer any questions you may have. They genuinely care about your progress and celebrate wins while helping you through setbacks. Can’t recommend enough.

Exactly what I needed

This program helped me build the belief I could become an operator. I rarely deal with injuries or nagging pains and I’ve made a significant amount of progress.

Well Worth the Investment

April 20, 2026

After first hearing about the BTE programs on social media, I decided to give it a try after seeing a colleague successfully complete a demanding military course after using the program. Since starting, BTE has improved not only my fitness, but also key areas like nutrition, sleep, mental resilience, and overall movement mechanics – I’ve never felt or performed better.

I’m extremely happy with the results, and the value far exceeds the cost of the program.

50 years old and 5 years with BTE!

April 15, 2026

Started with BTE back in 2021 at 45 yrs old and I’m probably in some of the best life condition yet. Whether it’s physical, mental, nutrition, or just feeling good as I move as an older adult BTE has laid the path for me to follow.

Always accessible, always constructive, and always leaning forward into the art and science of getting the best out of their clients. So effective my son has enrolled as well as he prepares for SFAS and is hitting all benchmarks.

Extremely affordable based on your goals and where money goes. I have never regretted any money I have invested in BTE as the returns I’ve received from following their path have been life changing.

Great product, even better guys!

Unmatched training

April 14, 2026

This is a training app, yeah, the programs/coaching are unmatched, for sure, but it’ll end up influencing much more than just your deadlift or your run time. The amount of genuine care and effort is evident in every detail. There are continuous updates and additional programs that are essential for not only someone on a selection pipeline, but the average civilian. I came across BTE at a low point in my life and training has always been a means of pulling myself through – but I’ve never had a program link mental and emotional skills within a program. Committing fully to the BTE programming not only improved all aspects of my physical training, but my mental – it helped rebuild my entire foundation stronger and my capacity well deeper. The content on this app is incredibly useful, and their text book is a must read. 11/10 would recommend.

Best Programming Bar None

April 13, 2026

I have been an app customer for over a year now, and I continue to see gains across the board. BTE has kept me consistent with flexibility of schedule, super responsive coaches, and a wealth of information provided within the app. For the first time in my professional life, I’m not burdened by overuse injuries, yet maintaining higher output week in/week out. There’s simply nothing that compares, and I’ve tried it all over my career.

Shifting paradigms- training, mentality, practice

April 13, 2026

Initially coming onto BTE programming, was half expecting to be smashed from the get-go, like other programs I have used previously.

That’s not a dump btw, just an experience up until BTE.

For a heap of candidates, I’m sure that process has worked.

However, this program is really about addressing everything from the foundations up.

Building the Elite is not just a name, it’s a mission statement. Adhering to the program (or in some cases, not) has really shifted my internal paradigm around training, mentality, and putting it all into practice.

Being on this programming has shifted my mindset, and is really making me consider, and actively implement in all aspects of life, as opposed to ‘just’ training/ prepping for SOF, as if it’s totally separate to life outside of SOF, eg family/ work/ conflicting schedules, etc.

The team is professional, and have created an app/ program/ community, that reflects this.

Good, real feedback, good comms, well built app, that can be customized on the fly, if needed.

Regular check ins, and speedy response times really help keep accountability.

If you’re looking for something built for the long game of life, highly recommend checking this out.

Lifelong client

April 10, 2026

I’ve been with BTE for over 3 years now and the returns I’ve received are exponentially better than anything I had tried before. The wisdom derived for physical, spiritual and emotional training has helped tremendously in my journey, including finishing a Tier 1 SOF selection. I will forever be grateful to the coaches being available to answer questions 24/7 with knowledge grounded in reality and experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Building The Elite… Only way to describe it

April 7, 2026

I have been with BTE roughly 2 years now, I found out about them from a friend. I couldn’t recommend them anymore. Just absolutely amazing and ELITE top to bottom no complaints anywhere fo 60$ or 50$ a drop in the bucket for what your getting. I shouldn’t say this but they could charge whatever they want and I would still pay it. You do what they tell you to do and you will succeed and improve in more ways than just physical. I got absolutely no complaints I don’t even know what they could improve on honestly. I have no words for these guys just amazing and im grateful to have found them!

Best around

March 30, 2026

I started with BTE in 2024 and I have not regretted it. They helped me achieve a level of fitness I didn’t think was possible. They are very helpful, the workouts are specific to you and your goals. They will also adapt your program if you ask within 24 hours. You will not be disappointed.
