TACFIT^® Team Leaders

"I consider fitness to be a critical component in performing my job as a Fire Captain in the safest and most efficient manner possible. I’ve always exercised regularly as a runner, weight lifter, and I’ve trained with many of the popular functional programs with good results but I have never come close to the fitness levels I’ve achieved using TACFIT®. I witnessed explosive gains in strength, power, endurance, and conditioning that I really had never considered possible.

TACFIT® is absolutely the most comprehensive program I have found to date that delivers the most results in the shortest amount of time. My transformation has allowed me to lead by example in my department and as a result I am constantly bombarded for advice on how to achieve similar results. The TACFIT® program is so easy to implement and teach others of varying degrees of fitness due to the four levels of sophistication provided for each workout. Group workouts are a mainstay in our department and TACFIT® allows us to compete in the same workout at the same time based on current conditioning levels leaving everyone feeling worked and energized at the end of only 20 minutes.

The TACFIT® design to train all 6 degrees of freedom and the four levels of sophistication have allowed me to progress at an accelerated rate resulting in superior athleticism to any other program I’ve followed. I recently have come back to TACFIT® after following another popular program for quite sometime because I felt I was losing many of the gains I had made. I no longer felt the explosiveness, the core strength, and I was losing my ability to move through all 6 degrees with a full range of motion and strength. The TACFIT® mantra of “being better prepared than the challenges you face” is dead on and coming from my background of training and fitness I consider this program “smarter” than any other I’ve experienced.

To provide some numbers for you, when I was first introduced to TACFIT®, I spent a year performing two to three workouts every week. That’s no more than an hour each week of training. My VO2 max increased during that year by several points and I had just finished running a marathon at my previous test and recorded my highest VO2 max ever! My personal record for pull-ups was 17 prior to starting and my new PR is 45 and climbing. TACFIT® has provided me with the fitness level to get the most out of work and play and I want to thank Coach Sonnon and RMAX International for such a great system. "

"Working in the security field as an executive protection agent, I had the problem of securing the time to keep at top fitness conditioning. I'll always do some running but mostly that was all due to time constraints. Most of the time when you travel a lot you don't have access to a gymnasium or equipment to do a complete functional training preparation covering all of your needs in order to keep you sharp for any eventually task.

Even when my team and I are in base, we must run in shifts in order to go to gym. Since each team has more than 8 agents, the time is so restricted that if you try conventional workouts, it demands too much time for each of us to get sufficient training time.

As a CST Head Coach and TACFIT® Team Leader, I discovered that TACFIT® was our way to keep sharp, properly prepared to cover our mission tasks and perform well in any combat situations. With TACFIT®, we need significantly less equipment that we must carry around and the bodyweight exercise allows us to train even in hotels rooms. We can get sufficient training effects in just as little as 20 minutes in shifts of 4 agents. So in less than 1 hour, we've completed our physical training and are back ready to rock."

"While I have been proud to serve my country during my 15 years of active service I always been disappointed in the limited and arbitrary physical fitness training methods and standards the Army maintains. The complex operational demands of our soldiers today requires much more comprehensive conditioning than countless repetitions of push-ups and sit-ups can provide. TACFIT® is the perfect answer to this situation. The sophisticated structure yet simple means of execution of TACFIT® make it feasible for soldiers to train to a high level of tactical readiness anywhere in the world.

For our military to be successful we must be more prepared than the challenges we face. TACFIT® is by far the best system I have seen to do exactly that."

"When TACFIT was first introduced by RMAX International I knew right away that my goal would be to offer it to my local law enforcement agencies. Living in Salinas, CA there are the city's first responders which include the Police and Fire Departments along with the Monterey County Sheriff's Department all within city limits. Add to this the fact that down the road 30 minutes are Soledad State Prison and Salinas Valley State Prison and the decision to offer TACFIT was a no brainer. It has been an honor to offer this revolutionary training program to those that serve our community and keep my loved ones safe.

What I didn't initially realize is how much offering TACFIT would benefit my staff of coaches. I have required each of my head coaches and myself to perform the TACFIT Hard Responsible Push at least once and the results have been outrageous. Not only have our levels of fitness increased dramatically but sharing the experience has also served to strengthen us as a team. Staying safe while in the line of fire takes more than just fitness, it takes teamwork. Ask yourself...is your team TACFIT?"

"I had the privilege of growing up in a harsh environment. In the vast wilderness of the Arctic, one learns to find contentment with hardship. Temperatures of -50 C, the blackness of night for months on end, bears strolling past your home, the air so thick with mosquitos that every breath provides your daily dose of protein. When your idea of fun consisted of going out to play in white-outs or jumping into water so cold you would cease to breath inside of 15 minutes, it’s difficult to find sustainable, daily challenges that keep you sharp, ready for anything and growing.

But I have found that in TACFIT®. I'm not interested in merely surviving. I'm interested in thriving. To do so, you can’t just rush out in a blaze of glory until you drop. You have to be smart. You have to be cool. You have to persist and endure. You have to face the “beast” as it breath’s fire and be able to smile back. That develops with intelligent training. That develops with TACFIT. And with individuals truly focused on thriving, excelling and exceeding, it naturally develops the key to surpassing anything we could ever achieve on our own. That key is Team.

Are you ready to move beyond?"
