FREE WORKOUTS
The Heroes of Tomorrow program was developed by former Navy SEAL Stew Smith CSCS / fitness author. We can help prepare you for ANY profession that requires a Physical Fitness Test and YOU pay nothing for the training! Warning - it is rather advanced but we can scale it back a bit, teach running and swimming techniques, and help you build up to your goal level of fitness.
These Free Workouts are for men and women preparing for military, police, firefighter professions (active duty or veterans too) in Severna Park, Maryland - as well as other cities with volunteer trainers - See chart below:
We build tactical athletes using a Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization Training Model (read more).

Core Mission
-
Tactical Fitness Training For the Candidate / Recruit: Specializing in preparing individuals for military, special ops, law enforcement, and firefighter selection programs (getting you "TO and THROUGH" training).
-
Functional Training for Both Active Duty / Recruits: Utilizing a seasonal tactical fitness periodization system that balances longer workouts of running/rucking, swimming, and calisthenics during the Spring/Summer when days are longer. Then, the focus shifts in the Fall/Winter to lifting (Cals/cardio maintenance) when the days are shorter/colder. This process has 25 years of proven success building tactical athletes who improve in all areas of fitness: strength, power, speed, agility, endurance, muscle stamina, mobility, flexibility, and grip.
- Becoming an Asset for All Types: Even non-tactical athletes want to be of use in situations that require some level of fitness to get through the day. Be an asset, not a liability, in potentially dangerous situations, whether natural or man-made. Fitness can be a common denominator in successfully enduring life-or-death scenarios.

Where to Find More Information About Optimal Performance Training Programs
When you start training again, consider the seasonal tactical fitness model. I call it A WAY to train and obviously not the only way to train. But it offers the opportunity to never neglect your weaknesses, helps with flexibility and mobility, but will also put you at a level of physical abilities where you are happy with your overall ability to just about anything. We have a systems where the seasons dictate our training. When it is nicer outside, we tend to run and do more calisthenics. When it is colder and not so nice, we lift more, run, less, and still maintain our outdoor activities with shorter runs and rucks. Check it out: Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization System.

Great programs. The best I’ve ever seen. Was able to pass Basic and AIT with ease, was selected for 12B Sapper Train-up and completed it. I was also selected for Best Squad competition and we, for the first time in my Unit, won. All thanks to your fitness programs which are extremely detailed and affordable for anyone.
