+ 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.

Reviews
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.
Extremely knowledgeable and intelligent programming
The BTE app and training program ticks all the boxes. The team at BTE are extremely knowledgeable and have not left any stone unturned.
A comprehensive approach to overall wellbeing
To sum up, I have been using BTE from november 2023 and I am very pleased with the results and the support from the BTE crew.
First of all, BTE is not only about physical capabilities, it incorporates all aspects to become a capable human being and meet the standards throughout. This means your body, mental state, thought process, interacting with peers, leadership capabilities to name the few.
Secondly, BTE trainers are definitely professionals. They modulate the training blocks so that your weaknesses are directly adressed. Your strengths and weaknesses are assessed periodically and systematically so that every training block has as much positive effects as possible. I very much appreciate that the training is diverse so that I cant stay in the comfort zone for too much. The crew is very helpful and always available through in-app messages.
Lastly, BTE and the community will provide you the tools. The tools are no BS, top notch and ready to be used. But only you can use them. If you have the discipline, you will see the results very soon.
Awesome App with Personalized Training
When I first started this app, I was a little surprised, as I was not sure what I was expecting. Then, all of a sudden, I’m interacting with multiple coaches, who were spending a significant amount of time listening to my goals and devising a plan to reach them. The app was great, and the coaching was even better! If you’re looking at personalized training for SOF or SWAT selection, I would definitely recommend it!
