The 10 Force Fitness Commandments

Thou shalt be everyday elite! These 10 commandments are the foundation of Force Fitness. The way we see it, training is about becoming that one person who can be calm, capable, and strong in any situation.

We take our cue from the world’s most capable humans – the special forces, adventurers, and elite performers - who train to be useful when it counts. And those moments aren’t predictable, and they’re not always convenient.

1. Train for life, not likes.

Aesthetics don’t mean much if you can’t carry a load when it counts. Train movements that prepare you for life.

Training should make you stronger, faster, and more resilient for the unpredictable challenges life throws your way. Weighted carries, rucking, sandbag lifts, and hill sprints might not make for great social content, but they’ll make the difference when you need your strength.

2. Be everyday elite.

Work hard to be the person others rely on in any situation - strong, adaptable, and ready.

Being elite doesn’t necessarily mean being the fittest in the gym, but it does mean being the one people can rely on when things get difficult. Work on strength, endurance, skill, and adaptability so you can step up in any situation. When others hesitate, you’ll be the one moving forward to help in any situation.

3. Build all-round strength.

You don’t need to choose between muscle or endurance. The real outliers have both.

Train to keep going when others stop. That’s the standard we look to. Combine lifting heavy with long cardio, agility and mobility alongside power. A balanced, capable athlete is impossible to ignore.

4. Make training count twice.

Turn daily life into training opportunities. Carry heavy, walk loaded, take the harder option.

Not every session has to happen in a gym. Do stair runs with a ruckpack. Walk the dog in a weighted vest. By embedding strength work into your day, you make progress even when life gets busy.

5. Respect the mission.

Every movement should have a purpose. Train like it matters, because one day it might.

Training without intent is just exercise. In the forces, no movement is wasted and nothing is done for the sake of it. Adopt that mindset in your training by knowing the reason for every drill, lift, ruck, and run.

6. Resilience is the real goal.

Strength + grit = purpose. Build a mindset that will keep you moving under pressure.

Push yourself through conditions you’d normally avoid. Train when you don’t feel like it. Challenge yourself with longer sessions, heavier loads, or rougher terrain. Every time you push through, you get harder to break.

7. Relentless consistency, not rare intensity.

One brutal workout won’t change you. Capability is built through consistency.

Your heroes don’t just show up when they feel like it. They put in the work, day after day, year after year. Make training a life-long non-negotiable part of your life. Show up, do the work, recover, repeat.

8. Seek out discomfort.

Progress starts at the edge of what’s possible. Go there often and stay there longer.

If training always feels easy, you’re staying in one spot. Growth comes from deliberately stepping into the hard parts – heavier, faster, longer. Learn to make discomfort a familiar place and you’ll thrive anywhere.

9. Train under pressure.

Don’t train fresh every time. Practice getting started when you want to stop.

Anyone can perform well when they’re fresh and rested. The real test is whether you can step up when your body wants to stop. Simulate stress in training - because real life doesn’t wait for ideal conditions.

10. Be an anchor in the storm.

Hold steady and be the calm, capable force others depend on.

When chaos hits, people look for stability. Your training should make you the one who can be strong, calm, and confident – the force that holds steady when it matters most.

Be a Force to be reckoned with - Force might be a fitness company, but these aren’t training mantras. They’re life philosophies for the bigger picture. We use the Force Fitness Commandments to train, to race, and to get us out the door.

Live with purpose. Train with intention. Be a Force to be reckoned with in any situation.
