K9 Handler Fitness Program

A guide to performance, longevity and injury prevention for the K9 Handler.

  • Absolutely top notch. It wasn’t a workout program, honestly it was a lifestyle change. Food, water, movements and injury recovery and avoidance. This was everything a program should be

  • First off, I greatly enjoyed the videos displaying proper form and expectations of each of the movements. I also greatly appreciated the warm ups, stretching and cool downs. I thought there was a good variety of strength training and cardio throughout as well as good focus on flexibility and mobility.

  • This is a program that EVERY K9 handler needs to be on. I felt like all workouts were suited to being a K9 Handler. I've done plenty of programs but this one by far is the best from the simplicity of the app to the exercises being explained. I would recommend to anyone looking for a challenge to do this program.

  • I've completed phase 1 a while back and I'm currently in phase 2 week 8. So far this has been an absolute blast and has been the best program I have ever done.

    Cody Eliason

  • It was hard. In the best way. Completely doable, but challenging and not a “quick 10 min workout”. Lots of sweat, lots of recognition of imbalances in my body from L to R side. Lots of growth.

    Jen Skeldon

  • I loved the organization, presentation and ease of use of the program via the app. This was key to my success

    Travis Hartman

  • The program is sneakily disguised to make you more functional and mobile with what I felt was just a short time window each day. As you gain more mobility and experience you gain a desire for harder workouts!

    Ryan Chandler

  • Mentally and physically the program pushed me each day. I not only got stronger, faster and leaner. I also adapted healthy habits in my diet that will help me for many years.I am in better shape at 32 then I was at 18. I feel physically better and mentally I am more driven. Huge improvement from when I started.

    Kevin Hilliard

  • I began the program having reoccurring knee pain that I had grown used to. The focus on stability and lower body strengthening has shown me the importance of it. My knee pain is practically non existent now.

    Aaron Huyett

  • I saw improvement in my performance at work, especially with the mobility helping my dog-related injuries. Bumped up my upper body strength, which helps me with the dog.

    Emily Acker-Estes

  • I had a couple K9 jobs when I was doing this program and if it wasn’t for this program I was doing I don’t think I would have been able to complete the jobs. Definitely saw the difference on the street.

    Kevin McGuigan

  • I always hated squats from hip pain perspective and had none on this program while increasing my squat over 60# from the beginning weeks.

    Andrew Civetti

  • I went from struggling to chase after a suspect to not having an issue

    James Ducker

  • This was my first experience working out this intensely for this long without any injury. You guys are extremely available for questions. You offer alternatives for essentially everything if something cannot be executed a certain way.

    Mark

  • AMAZING! The workouts were EXACTLY what I was looking for. I loved having the videos of the movements... those were super helpful. The constant feedback on my videos were great too. Overall, such a great program!

    Heather Heersche

  • The combination of strength training and full body movements is exactly what a K9 handler needs to stay ready for the job. Having access to the coaches added more motivation for me to want to get the workouts in. Also the progress I’ve seen in my strength in just 12 weeks was amazing.

    Dave Gallo

  • I loved the focused on mobility. I never worked on that before and have struggled with it. It transition to helping me move better while in a bite suit training other dogs

    Wyatt Davis

  • I "enjoyed" it. I have never been into working out so there were some workouts that I was cussing you guys. Even with that I always felt good when I was done with the workout like I had accomplished something. I was very pleased with the overall difficulty level for me. I think it helped me improve my cardio as well and the "hard" parts about being K9 ie picking up your dog and throwing him over a fence, carrying them out of the field, working a dog in a bite suite for an extended period of time.

    Nate Hibschman

  • I enjoyed utilizing the app that had everything I needed all in one place. I couldn’t believe that everyday I looked up my work out for the day and it was some exercise I had never done before! The program kept me and my body guessing while making me more more flexible and stronger. Having access to the coaches to ask questions whenever I needed was fantastic. Overall great coaches and a great program!

    Marc P

  • I felt like my physique improved even when that was not my goal for this time around. I definitely felt like it was the work I needed to be doing but wasn’t. It was extremely beneficial

    Amber

  • I immediately saw a different on the road, at training and at the range. Not only are you bettering the handler but your indirectly protecting the K9 which I will forever be indebted to.
