I am a 55 yr old male. I have completed all levels of TacFit Commando program: Recruit, Grunt, Commando.

9 mos babee of mobility, compensation, moderate and hard.

I have often believed the program should also be geared to the “older” crowd. Why? Because it incorporates flexibility training (presara yoga) that us older folks need. It is very demanding but you could “scale” Scale means cut back on the standards to fit your fitness and ability. It is mentally demanding. It stresses the core and puts you on the clock. You will be challenged (I didn’t know the body could move so many ways) If it is “hard” then Scott knows it.

Who may want to be careful? Those w/ back issues and perhaps knee issue. My back and knees are good, I’m lucky. But my shoulder hurts and the program has lots of rotation movements with forward pressure on the shoulders.

My health specs were pretty good after it: low cholesterol, heart 57 beats per minute resting.

Now I’m doing Scotts Kettlebell spetznaz program. Next on my to do list is Scott’s dumbbell mass assault which I have also.

Even if you are cautious about TacFit Commando, get it to understand his system which you can then apply to other methods of training. You will learn excellent core training.

I really like it. If you think you are hardcore, try this. If you aren’t hard core, try it also.

I’m 29 and going for BMQ (Canadian Forces) in May. I know I’m not old, but was told that I’m “outside the general demograpic” for the infantry. I’ve been training myself or the past few months, cross-fit, running with 30lbs in a plate carrier,that sort of thing, but I’ve been looking for something like this, something based on ACTUAL military training. I want get to basic and show what someone “outside the general demographic” can do.
looking forward to the challenge.

I’ve been using this program for a month now and was attracted to it for the benefits it promised to offer those of us who have no access to training facilities.
I am a pretty typical unfit seaman who has toyed with various training ideas over the years but mostly been stymied for these reasons.
Tacfit is proving to be as useful a program as I had hoped for and can be done anywhere aboard the ship. The program is also extremely intense within a short time frame which is perfect.
Enjoyed reading this great review.

Good post. I’ve only used this program for a couple days but I’m already loving it. Like Jobn said, its hardcore and most beginners who are not completely unconditioned could get started with it. I know this from experience because I’m a beginner. Before I started this program I very seldomly worked out. I’d run for the heck of it once a week or walk 3 times a week. Cheers to Scott Sonnon for this amazing program.

Nice site. I found you through Scott Sonnon on Facebook. This is a good, unbiased review of the TACFIT program. I’ve used the program and think it’s fantastic for many of the reasons you listed above. It’s definitely hardcore, but in the same breath, I think most beginners who are not completely deconditioned could get started with it (at the beginner level for both exercise selection and workout programming).
