+ 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
Outstanding content delivery, expertise, and customer service.
I have been working with BTE for several years and am always impressed with the amount of useful and professional knowledge and expertise they share with members. From custom workouts, weekly mental skills, special on-line courses such as Leadership, Time Management, etc., and a bi-weekly Newsletter, they have us covered to meet our personal goals and objectives. They also provide friendly efficient customer service and well as access to a National Board Certified Health & Wellness professional (additional fee) whom I have also worked with and recommend.
Personalized approach
I’ve been using BTE app for about 14 weeks. I’ve learned that I can turn my weaknesses to averages and then make them a strength. This app has a personalized approach that allows you to keep your strength up while also attacking your weaknesses I’ve seen my numbers, jump up in my run and my swim, just by using the drills while also keeping my strength which was already a good. This definitely allows me to be a great maritime enforcement specialist in the Coast Guard.
The best in the game
It’s my second time training with the guys from BTE and it’s worth every penny. They have the most profound approach to sof prep and along with their book (which i also highly recommend) they are easily the best choice when it comes to training for the military, law enforcement, selection, ….
Solid program, great communication
Using BTE has been challenging but achievable, lots of volume however the explanations and in depth demos on the app are incredibly helpful and ensure proper form to minimise injury. The team is also very responsive and will always accommodate for changing workout conditions which helps a lot.
The most detailed selection program with everything you need.
Straight off the bat the program is very personalised to your results in the testing week. Moving forward you have all the tools to hit all of your training marks to improve in not just fitness but mental preparation for any selection course, this program has open my views on many things on the recovery side of training and the mental preparation as well as having solid training blocks an consist feedback with your coach during the whole program. I am very confident with how all my training is going and this program is a testament to my results
BTE Training Review
I signed up with BTE to physically prepare for a tactical group selection course in law enforcement. The coaching and programming has been excellent. Everything is covered in extensive detail, and they provide all the tools and resources for you to perform at your best. The coaches are very interactive and helpful. Overall, training with BTE has been a valuable investment and I would highly recommend them to anyone pursuing a career in the tactical world.
Intentional planning with proof in the pudding
BTE workouts are well planned, thought through and effective. See improvements within strength, cardio and mobility movements. You’ll see the difference from the first training block. You’ll be motivated to keep going and keep training.
Intelligent Custom Hybrid Programming
I’ve done a lot of hybrid programs. None of them are as balanced, adaptable, and intelligently designed as BTEs. I have been with them 1.5 years and it has completely transformed my performance, from constant injury and plateaus to hitting new PRs every training block, and most importantly getting me closer to my goals for AFSPECWAR. You will get physical training, mental skills practice, and hands on, real-time input. This is not a genie in a bottle program, but put in the work, and the coaches will meet you with expertise and more. Coach Z has been awesome to work with
Outstanding training for urban and wildland firefighters
Building the Elite training is hands down the best thing I’ve done to get fitter and more capable as a firefighter. In the almost two years that I’ve been training with the BTE app, I’ve seen tremendous improvements across all measures, especially strength and work capacity. The mental skills component of the program cannot be underestimated: it helped me deal with major setbacks, learn from them, and emerge more self-aware and resilient. BTE helped me succeed in multiple physical tests for structural firefighters and score very highly on a wildland fire physical test. Most importantly, the program prepared me for the daily rigours of the job, helped me learn about myself, expand my perception of what is possible (and how much discomfort I can handle), and develop skills for maintaining joint and tissue health, which is increasingly important given what I put my body through in my mid-forties. I strongly recommend BTE to current and aspiring firefighters, as well as other tactical professions, especially if you want to put yourself in the best position to have a long and healthy career. This program requires consistency and commitment, but if you give it that, the results can be remarkable.
Evidence based training based on the individual
I’m a firefighter and law enforcement officer with just over two years with BTE and I cannot say enough about their programing, attention to detail, and support. One of the things that sets BTE apart is that their programing isn’t generic. They use periodic testing to identify individual weaknesses and to make informed decisions about what needs to change in order to drive positive change. In addition, BTE doesn’t ignore the mental aspects of doing hard things, sending daily correspondences to help learn how to think when things get difficult. One last thing that sets BTE apart is how supportive they are. Going on a beach vacation and need a program with limited equipment? They’ve got you. Has life become stressful and your recovery is impacted? They’ve got you. As long as you communicate what your needs are, or struggles you may be facing, they adjust to meet your current situation. It truly feels like a personal trainer in your pocket.
