My Thoughts

I have personally not given this program the attention that it deserves. I purchased it upon launch back in 2012 and have followed one cycle at Level 1.

I regard this as one of the strongest programs within the Tacfit fleet. The manual is amazing and really explains the science and resulting theory behind Scott Sonnon’s Tacfit program design. I have read the manual about 5 times now and still get more from it each read.

The program is bodyweight only (with a pull up bar required for 4 of the exercises).  The mobility drills are excellent and the compensation flows are well designed and easy to emulate because of Scott Sonnon’s instruction and coaching cues.
