They will get you ready for your selection course. Do not try to plan your own program or “get after it” alone. You do not know more than they do. Do not try to use a stew smith workout PDF. You will arrive a subpar candidate from what you could have been or worst case hurt yourself and kill your career before it starts. This is the best way to go, and trust me, I tried fucking everything I speak from experience.

Get yourself some form of their coaching program, complete every workout and follow their cues and understand the methodology. They explain it in videos over time. Every workout has technique cues. Be patient and consistent and build the fundamental capacities that make you capable of being a worthy resilient SOF candidate. Buy their book, read it alongside the program you are doing. Read their recommended reading lists – expand your perspectives and know what you are getting into. Practice the mental skills, you are building physical capacities but just as if not more important is repping out the mental skills day after day, mental skills that they explain in detail and damn-near mandate you to execute during your training. Remember you are what you repeatedly do, you are not going to “break it down” mentally in the middle of your hell week if you did not just practice for the previous several months and slowly stress inoculate yourself. I could go on, theres endless resources from leadership courses for officer types to nutrition if you don’t know how to feed yourself for recovery and fueling. Again, there really is no better place to go than here to prepare for selection. There is no where that combines everything you need into one place. Burn the fucking boats and commit and start training with them.

If you are an experienced operator in the business world or a former athlete who refuses to accept a deconditioned baseline, Building the Elite is the solution. BTE will systematically rebuild you into a highly capable, resilient generalist. It is an execution tool for anyone who demands systematic excellence.

As a former collegiate athlete and business owner, I found myself in a prolonged period of severe physical deconditioning after a major life event. I chose Building the Elite because I was intellectually curious about their training philosophy and the highly integrated, systems-based approach that encompassed physical performance, psychological resilience, and physiological adaptability. For a high-achieving individual looking to rebuild from scratch, this app delivers an absolute masterclass in high-performance engineering.

There are so many valuable features in the app. Some of the highlights are as follows:

As a part of the onboarding experience, the program provided insight into my structural imbalances, level of strength and cardiovascular baseline after years away from serious training. Baded on your performance, the app tells you what you need to do and explains the why behind everything.

The app’s workout time-blocking is remarkably accurate. If a session says 55 minutes, that is about how long it will take. The pacing data for strength and conditioning blocks is completely customized to your current metrics, ensuring you tap into progressive overload without triggering overtraining. The training schedule is adjustable so you have the flexibility to adjust workout sessions while still staying on track.

The mental skills lessons built directly into the program connect the physiological stress of the workout directly to cognitive resilience patterns that translate back into leadership in the larger context of life.

There is thorough guidance on nutrition and supplements to support your goals, performance, recovery, and health.

There is an extraordinary focus on longevity, durability, and structural health. My joint pain evaporated within the first month because recovery and mobility are a part of the programming.

The direct coaching communication channel allows for timely support and feedback from a highly professional and knowledgeable team.

The value Building the Elite provides is well-beyond anything else I have come across as an experienced professional in the health and fitness industry.

Programming is incredibly well rounded and you’ll see progress quickly if you stick to the plan. Coaches are responsive to your inputs and adjust programming to meet your needs and account for injuries or areas which need improvement. There are tons of resources on the app to supplement the physical workouts and help you maximize results and your preparation.

You will not find better programming and coaching. The coaches are responsive, and the programming works. The mental aspects were overlooked in every other training plan I’ve tried. This is the most confident I’ve felt moving forward.

BTE is as professional and genuine as it gets. So far I’ve only tried the BTE Training app that itself feels like 1-on-1 coaching. With a team of coaches that have military experience and other athletic backgrounds, not to mention all of their qualifications, they are truly competent to program a training program for anyone who comes their way. I have recommended it too many of my friends and will continue to do so.

I have trained with BTE a couple of times now. The attention to detail is not only phenomenal it’s personalised. Being someone older the way they check in and move things around and cater to the individual is nothing short of unreal. The team hold you accountable whilst also helping you with the entire process. Anything that pops up whether it’s deployment or training exercises they work around you to help keep you on track. The biggest thing I have learnt from these guys is trust the process and.

I’ve been working with the guys at BTE for just under a year now. The combination of physical and mental training has been a game changer in my preparation. I’m much fitter and more mentally robust than I was when I started. Would recommend for all ‘tactical athletes’!

I cannot recommend any other fitness app than BTE. Longer-term training and programming that also provides mental skill building and easily accessible support for those who are chasing a specific goal, or simply the best version of themselves. This is a great service with adaptable workout routines and plenty of useful resources, for nutrition, running, rucking, time management and leadership (just to name some of them). It is for anyone who wishes to apply themselves (including civilians). Invest in yourself

I’m a better husband, father, son, and teammate because of these training programs. The issues I had mentally have become another obstacle I know I have the ability to overcome.

My performance has seriously improved and many of the aches and pains gone.

They give you the tools and show you how to use them in an environment that allows you to figure it out yourself, as it should be. I’m grateful for this life changing experience!

I cannot recommend any other fitness app than BTE. The training is top Mitchell and prepared me well for my work in the armed forces and an active lifestyle. The mean distinction is that both train your physical but also your mental capacity. I can no longer see them as two distinct systems, but they always work together.
