Train Like a SEAL: Introducing Echelon’s New Military Training Program

Get ready to push your limits with Echelon's newest FitPass program (launching February 17): Military Training, led by Echelon Instructor Nikita and featuring Guest Instructor Jeff Gum, a former Navy SEAL. This advanced, 5-day fitness program is designed to challenge your strength, stamina, and mental toughness with high-intensity, functional workouts inspired by the rigorous first phase of SEAL training.

What Is Military Training?

Military Training is not your average fitness program. It’s a deep dive into the physical and mental challenges that elite forces endure, using SEAL terminology and techniques to power you through each workout. With daily 20-30-minute classes, you’ll experience a blend of strength, endurance, and mental grit training that will leave you feeling stronger and more resilient.

What You'll Need:

  • Adjustable Dumbbells (or a medium set and heavy set of dumbbells)

  • A Medicine Ball

  • Foam Roller (recommended, but optional)

The 5-Day Mission Breakdown:

Intro: Indoc Training (5 min) Your mission begins here. This introductory session lays the foundation for the week, familiarizing you with SEAL-inspired movements, techniques, and key terminology. Get ready to commit to the challenge ahead.

Day 1: Initial Ascent (20 min - Strength) Start building foundational strength with a focus on controlled strength movements and dynamic exercises to prepare your body for the intensity of the week. Expect exercises like goblet squats, push-ups, and medicine ball slams to get your heart rate up and muscles firing.

Day 2: Strength Surge (20 min - Strength) Power and explosiveness take center stage. Through high-weight exercises with minimal rest, you’ll work on building strength that mimics the demands of tactical performance. This session emphasizes controlled movements with increased resistance.

Day 3: Peak Endurance (20 min - Strength) This day tests your stamina. Expect longer work intervals with minimal rest as you push through challenging circuits designed to improve cardiovascular endurance and muscular staying power.

Day 4: Operation Grit (30 min - Strength) It’s time to go all-in. This longer session is designed to build physical and mental toughness through repetitive and demanding movements. Jeff Gum will push you to stay focused and dig deep when fatigue sets in.

Day 5: Final Stand (30 min - Strength) The grand finale! This full-body workout will test everything you’ve built throughout the week. Can you push through the burn and finish strong? Jeff and Nikita will be with you every step of the way.
