TACFIT Survival is a comprehensive, plug-and-play fitness training program that will help you develop a high standard of fitness by burning stubborn fat, building functional muscle and improving your conditioning level using a variety of movement skills and training protocols that were specifically created to improve performance in high stress situations such as competitive fighting.
Tacfit Survival Pros
I’ve reviewed several TACFIT programs now, and so I’ll start off this section by saying that I like that TACFIT Survival is a TACFIT program. If that doesn’t make sense to you, then allow me to explain. You see, I’ve liked almost every TACFIT program that has been released because TACFIT is a superb system for health-first fitness and strength and conditioning, among other things. There’s a lot to love about TACFIT programs, including, but not limited to, the following:- TACFIT Survival has different levels of difficulty built right into the program, so anyone regardless of fitness level can benefit from it.
- Both recovery and injury-prevention techniques are included in the program design to ensure optimal results.
- All of the workouts are short and sweet and don’t require a large time commitment, and there are different scheduling options available, so you can customize it to your individual needs. This can be used by all but the busiest of people. And if you’re even too busy for this, contact me and we’ll talk.
- The training sessions are challenging, but manageable, and they are also scalable to not just your conditioning level, but also to your skill level. So, no matter who you are, this program will meet you where you are and take you to your edge, and no further.
- TACFIT Survival is user-friendly and truly plug and play. Although, it is missing some of the key features that other TACFIT programs have included before, such as progress tracking materials (ie training calendars, workout journals, etc.). Regardless, you can literally begin this program within minutes of reviewing the materials (after downloading all the Gigabytes of data, that is).
- You don’t need any equipment to perform TACFIT Survival, which I always think is a nice touch in a do-it-yourself workout program. So, if you have a little bit of floor space, you can do the entire program – no further investment required. No gym, no dumbbells, no nothing!
- -For CSTers and TACFITers, there is also a good bit of new material (at least, new to me). The instruction manual is yet another evolution in the TACFIT model and will provide you with some new insight into the system. But that’s not nearly as exciting as the fact that you’ll even learn some new cool movements, that I assume Alberto came up with himself. Much of this is NOT rehashed, which is a big plus, in my book. I’m always happy to learn new ways to train!
- And as is typical with TACFIT products, this program is a very high value for your money. Even at the full price, you’re getting three months of complete training programs for less than the cost of a couple personal training sessions. This is dirt cheap folks, and you’re getting a lot of value for your dollar. If you actually use the program, you’ll be more than happy that you spent the money.
Tacfit Survival Cons
My main gripe with TACFIT Survival is that most of this program was filmed during a live seminar at Wolf Fitness Systems in Salinas, CA. The instructional and follow-along videos are essentially a collection of clips that were taken during the seminar itself (with live participants). So, this product was not necessarily originally meant for video instruction, and thus, isn’t optimized for this learning medium. It’s been put together using bits and pieces from the seminar, which has its downsides and limitations. For example, Alberto’s English is excellent, but the audio quality in the instructional videos is only marginal, and sometimes poor. You won’t be able to hear everything he is saying, and it’s too bad because his instruction and coaching cues are excellent. Also, some of the camera shots aren’t all that great, and the overall video quality is so-so. If you’re a complete beginner and have never done any of these exercises before, you may have trouble figuring out exactly what to do.Also, when I said this program is very much like TACFIT Commando, I meant it! There is only one training protocol included for the moderate and high intensity training sessions – the 20/10×8 protocol (20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times). I’m one who wishes there was more variety, and I’m not a fan of using just one primary training protocol for months at a time, but as long as you know about this ahead of time, it’s not a big mark off.
All that said, the content and information is solid, as is the instruction. So, if you don’t care about the formatting issues, then there really isn’t much to not like about TACFIT Survival.
