I've seen this place written about on SOFREP before, has anyone here ever heard of it? Perhaps even followed some of the individual training plans?
I like the idea. They offer separate plans for PFT training, school prep, selection prep plans, LE, Firefighter, general fitness, etc. It seems like a good resource for people shipping out with X-ray, Op 40, SEAL, etc. contracts, maybe even beneficial for guys who are in those units to stay in shape.

I'm sure these plans are effective. But I'm skeptical of the cost. There's plenty of resources out there without forking over a dime.

The career management field (CMF) 18 includes positions concerned with the employment of highly specialized elements to accomplish specifically directed missions in times of peace and war.Many of these missions are conducted at times when employment of conventional military forces is not feasible or is not considered in the best interest of the United States.Training for and participation in these missions are arduous, somewhat hazardous, and...

I haven't seen that first link before, I appreciate the share!
The only real benefit I see, specifically for the SFAS plan, is the timeline. They have a 10 month train up plan that seems perfect for civilians to go from 0-100. I know for some of the other plans available, like the one you shared, it is very important to already be in good shape and not everyone who wants one of these contracts is in "Army" shape.
I agree though, it does seem awfully expensive.
