What does the app do?

ROC guides you to train like a Tactical Athlete today and be ready for anything tomorrow by challenging yourself to be greater than yesterday. The app monitors development, forecasts training, and allows you to compete against yourself, others in your city and around the world.

ROC takes the guessing out of training and provides you with the most optimal pathway to develop. It specifies the exact resistance, reps, sets, tempo, rest, time distance and speed to suit you and your unique needs. The challenge will improve your core stability, strength, power, speed, and muscular endurance. As well as reducing the likelihood of muscular skeletal injuries. ROC is also aimed at improving tactical tests and assessments for those taking their first or next step in tactical athlete development. The app will cover the tests found on AOSB, selection for both regular and reserves military, Police and Fire Service; including the 2km best effort, beep test, PES, RFTs, and 1.5mile best effort alongside many more.

Best on the market by far After following Mike Chadwick on Instagram for a while and seeing his success in preparing people for uk military, when I decided to apply for the Royal Marines I thought his app would provide the best platform to meet the standards required. Personalised workouts are ideal and I’ve made real progress in my strength and running. Completing test week 2 I ran the fastest 3 miler I’ve ever done. Customer support is also top class. You’re able to contact Mike with questions through the community on Facebook, such as when I asked him if the app was suitable for RM, and he suggested some extra things to help me on the journey. In the 7 weeks or so that I’ve been using the app there’s already been 2 updates and the developers seem genuinely committed to solving any issues with the app, not that I’ve had any so far, and improving it, such as the latest update for loaded marches. Honestly great value for money and my only wish is that I’d started sooner

Best programme I have experienced I was recommended this app by another coach and it has been the best thing I have purchased this year. I am hoping to begin Sandhurst within the next year and this app is helping me get fit. It helps with consistency of training, variation, competitiveness and optimisation and cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking to join or serving or generally looking to get more focussed training.

Faultless App, Great Team Behind it I’m new to the app- The app is very simple to navigate but has huge amounts of functionality in the background, tailoring the programme you’re given based off of fitness test results and available equipment (this is the only fitness app I’ve that takes into account the equipment you’ve got). The programme looks excellent so far. I can’t fault Mike’s attitude to me as a user- He’s very honest, he’s not there to sell dreams to get custom, I know the process, and I’m confident that, if followed, it’ll work very well. I’ll update this as I get further into the programme.

Getting ready for the paras. This app helped me increase my fitness across all levels with increases in PR each test week. It also helped me increase my bleep test scores in order to hit the required level for joining the paras. I am confident that coach Mike will get me pass PRAC and into depot training and ultimately the red beret. Coach mike is also reachable through Facebook message, which to me being able to ask questions relating to both fitness and career wise is already the deal breaker for me compared to generic fitness programs.

George Buckley

Brilliant app. All exercises have a video demonstration and written explanation detailing technique etc which is very helpful. The program is built around your scores in Week 1 (test week) and then you receive a fully customised training plan. A good demo explaining how to use the app fully and then when you start an exercise, there’s an inbuilt rest time that automatically tells you the how long to rest meaning you don’t have to faff around with a stopwatch. Strongly recommended app!

Daniel J. Levy

Best training app. Workouts are savage but the AI and testing make them just about achievable. Well considered and great user experience. I really like the exact exercise prescriptions and how I can change the weights based on ability. Tabbing feature integrates well too.

Stephen Krumis

Never seen an app like it. makes individualised plans based off your current ability, taking out all the guess work in training. a game changer.

Tom Wigglesworth

Brilliant training system, worked through Covid, injuries and surgery recently to still be making progress. Just shows how incredible the app is at hitting targets. I’m consistently hitting strength running and conditioning goals every cycle. Don’t leave things to chance- get on and start winning.

Mark Toner

You want to get fitter? Choose this app. If you want to get stronger? Choose this app. You want an app that preps you for real world fitness where you may need to be able to perform at a minutes notice? Choose this app. Lifting weights and cardio fitness at levels I would never have even looked at before. Easy to use, easy to follow with clear instructions, good follow up and advice from Mike and no BS!

Danni Thacker

The app is great, easy to use and an insane amount of detail just in you hand. Provides amazing training program which is really effective, all you have to do is turn up and do the work. Topped off by support from the Facebook group meaning any questions or help are easily answered

Richard L Lilley

Been training with this app for 3 months now and it’s been a massive aid to achieving my goals. It adds structure to my training and the AI keeps me improving without overtraining and possibly getting injured. If an old man of 70 can build muscle and stamina, then anyone can using this app. Heartily recommended.

Ryan Bradley

Very good quality app, completely changed the way I have been training. After block 1, I can honestly say I have greatly improved in all areas. Well worth the money, if in doubt spend 30quid

John Hylands

The app is amazing and tailored for your weaknesses, it had helped me massively to pass the Royal Marines CPC, the app helped structure training that I normally wouldn’t do and helping me feel real explosive and also very strong with the endurance, also was the fastest on the hill sprints from the rest of the candidates and finished the endurance course with a lot left in the tank. We win at all costs.

Joe Capar

I am currently on the Challenge and the rate at which I'm improving at is incredible and that's down to the tailored approach of the programme. It is specific to you and that makes each goal you hit and session you complete that much more rewarding.

Calum Roberts

Just finished up the Challenge with Mike and it's been great having something structured and tailored to help me work towards some specific goals. I've pushed on significantly more from having actual numbers written infront of me rather than estimating what I thought I should be doing.

It's also kept things more interesting with a much wider variety of exercises than I was previously undertaking. It's been night and day since before starting with him and can't recommend him highly enough.

Hollie Stinson

100% Recommend Mike and his programme. Currently almost half way through the challenge.

What a challenge it is. I have improved more in the last 5 weeks than I had done in almost 6 months of training before. Mikes knowledge is second to none and his motto to train specific and usually less, works. Together we’re smashing my goal and I can’t wait to see where the next 7 weeks takes my fitness. If you’re considering joining, don’t consider any further. Just sign up!

Lee Abbott

Got the challenge program and I am loving it. I have tried loads of different programs but this is something else. Lifting weight is bespoke to me and gives me a goal to follow. Would highly recommend.

Sam Walford

Great coaching - completely tailored to yourself and your aims. This is the place to come if you’re looking for guidance and coaching on the best way to achieve your goals

Sean Clapperton

Started on the challenge with Coach Mike during lockdown. What’s great is the challenge doesn’t begin until gyms reopen. He cares about each one of the people he trains. Numbers aren’t just generic, everything you do in testing he looks at and develops a complete personalised to you programme. Factoring in equipment, fitness levels, injures. Everything is thought out. 5/5 would highly recommend.

Oli Manson

Just finished the challenge, hands down the best money I've ever spent. Absolute bargain and renewed straight away. Should be mandatory for everyone. Cheers Mike

Jake Rose

Excellent service. Efficient, effective and challenging. Would highly recommend, either to those just starting out, or to those with loads of experience.

Jon Ham

Great bloke, really enjoying the challenge. He knows his stuff and the coaching is individualised to your performance, giving it your best performance and improvement. Coaching is clear and professional, would recommend.

Jamie Thompson

Couldn't recommend Mike enough. If you're new to phys or a seasoned gym goer, you're in good hands to smash new goals and aspirations.

Lauren Daley

I am really enjoying the 10 week challenge so far, it is certainly pushing me outside my comfort zone! I would highly recommend Mike and his coaching plans, as they are definitely transforming my physical fitness and mental resilience. I'm excited to see the results at the end of the program!

James Kelly

Brilliant services from Mike. Quality, well thought out programming tailored to individual needs and adapted where necessary. Guaranteed improvements in mind and body!! Recommended for all regardless of age, gender or job role!!

Jack Voutt

Since starting my challenge my body and mindset has both became stronger than I ever thought, pushing myself every workout to make myself a better athlete, and closer to my goals I 100% recommend Coach Mike Chadwick. 🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬🇬 I dare you to try the program to see what your made of!!!

Michael Kenyon

Mike gets my strongest recommendation. He is a specialist in individualising physical training and his incredible PT programmes have provided people with a platform to pass some of the most arduous courses in the world.
