THE WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.
This challenege was exactly what I needed to get back into working out the correct way. After years of starting and stopping different workout routines because they were unsustainable, this one was paced perfectly and let me build up without getting burn out.
Adam
This challenge was an absolutely incredible experience! It wasn't just about random workouts.. the programming was so well-thought-out structured and it pushed my limits to a whole new level. I managed to hit my first ever pull up during these weeks which was a huge milestone for me! I genuinely loved every single day of the process.
Ellie
It was great! I learned a lot to help me, and I learned a lot about myself as well. I feel better and strong. And I certainly feel and see the difference that this program helped me make in my goals. I have a lot I can take from this. And I loved the community all helping and looking out for each other. This program is certainly a 10/10! Hjolda!
Ernest
It was a great challenge i look forward to more in the future. This was a great way push my condition & it helped build real strength. I plan on enlisting into the airforce in next few weeks after my daughter is out of school so this helped me tremendously by adding these workouts to my own routine.
Trenton
Fantastic
Only into week 2 so far but it has been awesome! Great variety of workouts between gym and ones I can do at home. Huge difference in running, rucking, and just overall strength and energy.
Timothy B.
Great variety
Three weeks in and I'm about 7 months out from IBOLC and Ranger School. This program is awesome and has been pushing me daily. It's been a lot of fun.
Ryan
I'll say it from the mountaintops: This plan Rocks!
This plan is something I took on as it was the shortest program, it also tackled a huge part of Military fitness. Following this plan took my mile time down from 7:30 to 6:00, but it did more than that I enjoy running after this program and it has made me much more disciplined in my training so thank you Gritty for this amazing program!
Timothy R.
Gritty's Training works
So far I shaved off five minutes from my one mile run time. Program also shoved me out of my comfort zone and I know I can now keep running or rucking when my mind is screaming at me to quit or slow down. Thanks Gritty.
Dean B.
Best program on the market!
Best workout split money can buy! It's a great split between running and lifting without killing your body. It is a challenge for sure so be prepared! 10/10 would recommend! Easy to follow and great to see progress!
Patricio A.
This program (Ranger School Prep) has been great to do alongside my Ranger student while he’s prepping. 10/10 recommend!

THE NO EXCUSES METHODOLOGY
Fitness should make you more capable and NOT more dependent on a gym.
NO EXCUSES TRAINING combines strength, endurance, conditioning and military-inspired fitness into training you can actually execute consistently.
Sometimes that means weights. Sometimes it's a ruck. Sometimes it's you, the ground, and 30 minutes of work.
The equipment can change. The standard doesn't.
Show up. Do the work. Exceed the Standard.
7 DAYS.
ZERO EXCUSES.
Weekly training. Complete programs. Challenges. Follow-along workouts. Community. Weekly Q&A. Everything.
If it's not for you, cancel. No hard feelings.
