Warrior Athlete Readiness & Resilience (WARR) Program

The primary purpose of the Warrior Athlete Readiness & Resilience (WARR) Program is to enhance operational fitness levels and optimize combat readiness and resiliency for the Marine. This comprehensive strength and conditioning program take into consideration the physical demands of operational related activities to optimize physical performance while in combat. It focuses on the four domains of Human Performance: physical, social mental and spiritual fitness.

Phases of work out include pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment, or building your own workout templates, the Marine can fully develop and maintain their physical readiness and resiliency. By implementing the latest cutting-edge training methods and fundamental scientific principles, the WARR Program focuses on enhancing athleticism for today’s tactical athlete – The United States Marine.

Resiliency 

Resiliency is an important aspect of a Marine’s personal and professional life. It ensures that when faced with the challenges Marines face in and out of combat, they will be able to meet those challenges, drawing from internal and external sources of strength and support. Resilience can be objectively observed through physical and cognitive performance.  How Marines build and maintain resilience is more subjective, meaning effective measures are influenced by unique factors and characteristics of the individual and the unit. Marines with a high degree of physical and cognitive performance build and maintain resiliency in these four areas of Marine fitness:

Social Fitness: Building a solid skillset that fosters cohesion, belonging, and trust in one's personal and professional relationships.

Spiritual Fitness: Identification of personal faith, foundational values, and moral living from a variety of sources and traditions help Marines live out Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment, live the warrior ethos, and exemplify the character expected of a United States Marine.

Mental Fitness: Includes one’s mindset, attitudes, and practices that help them deal with various stressors that impede overall performance.
