Reviews
Best all around program
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.
Excellent programs and coaching
I have made improvements in all metrics. I love the consideration and weight that the coaches put into the mental side of training and SOF. It is truly the complete package.
Opportunity for endless improvement
I am a regular person not in any SOF/tactical arena, but I have been on the operator long track for about a year. I have seen continued improvements in my fitness throughout that time and I now meet the standards for work capacity, conditioning and strength. The way the mental skills are messaged through the app is extremely effective without being overly frequent. The customer support and overall implementation of this program is excellent. It is probably the best $50 a month you could spend, even if you are just a regular person who wants to be capable of extraordinary things.
Purpose driven!
Absolutely love the program. Everything feels as though it has a purpose. The program is catered to my my areas that need improvement and the coaches are quick to reply to my questions. With the knowledge of Craig and Jon, I know I will be ready for my SOF Selection coming up. Thanks guys!
Best in the business
I have not found a program that can address your limiting factors as well as BTE. Not only does the program address your physical limitations but I have found the app to strengthen my emotional and cognitive factors through short lessons. If I ever have a question about a topic, movement or anything they are always quick to respond.
This isn’t your basic 12 week pdf to get ready for x,y,z selection/event. It is intelligently thought out based on where you are currently and what you need to do to get to where you need to be. I can honestly say that BTE has made me a more resilient person, physically, emotional and cognitively. As they say, “if you want to get good at doing hard things, do hard things”. These guys are the best in the business.
How training works
Step 1: Onboarding & assessment

FAQ's
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:
- 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].
- Operator (5-7 hours per week)
- You are an operator looking to improve fitness across the board, stay healthy, and perform well when operational.
- 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.
- Fire (4-6 hours per week)
- You work as a firefighter (urban or wildland) or are preparing to work in this field.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
