Individual Training Plan or Athlete’s Subscription?

 

By Rob Shaul & Mintra Mattison

 

What’s the difference between purchasing an individual training plan and buying a subscription?

Purchasing a training plan gives you unlimited access to that single training plan and all of the updates we deploy to the plan in the future. It is like buying the DVD of the first Rocky movie, and then receiving all of the updates to it – Rocky II, III, IV, V, etc.

Purchasing an Athlete’s Subscription gives you access to all 450+ of our training plans across Mountain, Military, Law Enforcement, Fire/Rescue, Injury and General Fitness, as well as our daily programming for military and law enforcement athletes. If you cancel your subscription, you lose access to the plans. It is like subscribing to Netflix.

 

How do I decide what’s best for me, individual training plan or Athlete’s Subscription?

How much is fitness a part of your professional and/or personal life?

Our stuff is designed for Mountain and Tactical working professionals who are “professional” about their fitness and understand and embrace the principle that work-specific fitness is a critical professional responsibility. If you are such a professional, MTI’s Athlete’s Subscription is for you and will be your partner through your career for day-to-day fitness, PFT’s, missions, schools, deployments, long motel stays and mountain objectives, injury recovery, and recreation.

If you are a serious recreational mountain athlete who’s sports changes with the season, an Athlete’s Subscription is for you. The plans included will prepare you for each specific sport before the season and maintain your “mountain base” between seasons.

Are you simply a committed gym rat who’s always been doing some type of training? An Athlete’s Subscription will open your world to cutting-edge fitness specific programming such as bodyweight, relative strength, endurance, concurrent programming and the exercise selection and progression intricacies of mission-specific programming and Mission-Direct research.

Are you a Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach or aspiring one driven to do the best for your athletes? MTI’s programming is the Tip of the Spear for Mountain and Tactical Athletes, unique in its design, innovation, creative, mission-directness and results. Subscribe, devour and learn and deploy with your athletes.

Are you tactical professional looking to prepare for a specific PFT, selection or fitness attribute like running or rucking? Purchase the appropriate individual training plan.

Are you a single-sport mountain athlete willing to make a significant fitness investment in your sport-specific fitness? Purchase the appropriate individual training plan.

What we’ve witnessed over the years is our mission-direct programming inspires many athletes who began with an individual purchase to make fitness a bigger part of their life and eventually subscribe and use MTI’s programming as a partner moving forward.

How Often do you update Your Plans?

Our plan update schedule is driven not by a time period, but by programming evolution and improvement. For example, we’ve re-thought and simplified our running endurance programming and recently updated our Running Improvement Training Plan. We’ve also updated the APFT Training Plan, USMC PFT Training Plan, DEA PTT, Resilience, Valor, Fortitude, and several others.

MTI is driven by constant improvement and this is reflected in our plan updates.

 

How Often do you Design/Publish New Plans?

Constantly. We are driven by “holes” we see in mountain and tactical programming as well as athlete requests.
