TAC-ALPHA (Tactical Athlete Combine- Alpha) is the ultimate Tactical Hybrid program.

A relentless blend of strength, power and functional conditioning with just enough volume to build some size.

You're going to look AND perform like a machine.

Having served in the Army (Infantry), as well as federal LEO and Special Response Teams, I've used these methods on myself as well as many other Tactical Athletes, including Special Ops candidates, firefighters, LEO's, MMA athletes and others.

The goal of this training is to move like an athlete smaller than you, and be as strong as an athlete much bigger than you.

A strong, fast and powerful, physically fortified, well conditioned machine.

This program requires some fortitude and at least 1-2 years of training history and a basic ability to perform the big compound lifts (deadlift, squat, press, etc.).

I always try to make this training doable from the home gym, and substitute movements are listed. I"m available and ready to assist wherever I can.

Come take a tour and find that most elite version of you.

Training Designed from Real Experience
From my time in the US Army (Infantry), to Federal Law Enforcement, time on SRT teams, and training special ops candidates, Firefighters, and other high level athletes, this programming is NOT cut-and-paste. It's designed from experience and a lot of trial and error... This programming is born out of Blood, Sweat and Tears..
benefit-image-1
Built From The Home Gym
All of our training is designed with the home-gym in mind. You can perform the training from a home gym, commercial gym, crossfit box, or anywhere else you've got basic, fundamental equipment.

Train With a Purpose
This program is designed specifically to make you a stronger, more powerful and better conditioned athlete. A large emphasis is placed on strength and power, but we will cover all bases, ensuring you both look the part, AND can back it up anytime. Alphas only....
