### 5/5 — Must have

*2023-02-02, version 1.0.23*

Genuinely great program it’s hard to balance strength and fitness and try and improve both but the individual programming in this app does this brilliantly. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Amazing app and coach

*2023-01-23, version 1.0.23*

Been chatting to Mike for a while now and he recommended me to go and do this. Best call I’ve had. Super squared away app and easy to use guidance. Unlike most other apps which are messy and a pain to use this is a simple and easy to use plan to improve your numbers.
10/10

### 5/5 — World class app

*2023-01-19, version 1.0.23*

This app is great the intensity of the sessions are awesome, the leader board adds a nice competition to see where you stack up against all the other users, the ability to select how your feeling before the session is great for when your feeling sore, tired and stressed. Id highly recommend for anyone looking to be the best they physically can be

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-01-19, version 1.0.23*

Levels above any other tactical athlete development program.

### 5/5 — ✅

*2023-01-03, version 1.0.21*

Perfect app, first week assesses your ability then it calculates a structured programme to follow which is perfect for what you need and gives you enough time to rest and recover too. 

Make sure your willing to put the hard work in though!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2023-01-01, version 1.0.21*

5* - great app, great programme, great community. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Structured, specific, with results.

*2022-12-29, version 1.0.21*

So after submitting my test week results, I was assigned a 6 week training block. 

Results show my full body 1RM’s have improved, most notable being Back Squats up 20kg+. Running has improved, most notable being 1min 30sec off my 5km time.

Quite clearly strength, power and muscular endurance has improved greatly and all because of the app. Great Job Mike.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2022-12-08, version 1.0.18*

Couldn’t recommend enough if you want to take your training to the next level, regardless of your training age the app will cater your program specifically for you. Download it before you fall behind the rest of us!

### 5/5 — Best programme I have experienced

*2022-12-03, version 1.0.18*

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.

### 5/5 — Red On Review

*2022-12-02, version 1.0.18*

Absolutely unreal training split, exactly what you need to win.
Great help with the videos, tutorials, tempo for reps, reps, sets, and strength calculator.
First app I’ve seen that includes everything you need in a oner.
Well done coach👍🏻

### 5/5 — Faultless App, Great Team Behind it

*2022-11-30, version 1.0.18*

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.

### 5/5 — Class piece of kit

*2022-10-28, version 1.0.18*

Been using it for a few months now, personalised program based off of your test weeks. Really feeling the progress towards my goals 💪🏻

### 5/5 — Fantastic results speak for themselves

*2022-10-14, version 1.0.18*

This app is awesome. In the first training block my strength has gone through the roof and cardio is also improving massivley. I can’t recommend this enough if you want to get fit

### 5/5 — Will get you better if you trust the process

*2022-10-06, version 1.0.18*

I started using the app after listening to Mike’s Audiobook. Tried the app to see how I got on with it. 6 weeks in and the results are already incredible.

As a tactical athlete I need to have an all round good level of fitness which the app, providing you trust the process will give you. The sessions allow for me to cater around shifts and outside interests, in my case Jujitsu. 

Whether it’s foot chases, carrying and using heavy loads for method of entry or jujitsu; this app allows me to constantly improve!

### 5/5 — Amazing !

*2022-09-15, version 1.0.18*

First of all if you haven’t got this app get it soon as don’t sit around my run time for a 5k before I used this was 29.20 but after only 4 weeks of using not very long at all the app got my 5k down to 23.19 which ultimately resulted in me passing my PRAC (parachute regiment aptitude course) first time which has a 55% fail rate first time round this app is amazing I would 100% Recommend !

### 5/5 — Best training programme on the market.

*2022-09-03, version 1.0.18*

Whilst training for 4 Para I was introduced to the Red on app to get some real direction and to train properly. It is by far the best programme I have followed. With a test week at the start to see where you’re at, the app breaks your programme Down week by week and caters it’s service specifically to you and where you’re currently at with your fitness. Mike has also been nothing but helpful and will respond to any questions you might have. Couldn’t recommend more.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Cost outweighs potential use

*2023-10-08*

Before you even get a sample it’s $30+\mo , no trial option.

### 1/5 — Don’t do it unless you are prepared to lose at least part of your subscription

*2023-06-16, version 1.0.28*

I was drawn in by the book that I enjoyed immensely. I mistakenly subscribed for 6 months. The app seems unstable and I lost access for a few weeks between iOS updates. Support was non existent. 

You can get equally good guidance off YouTube unless you are serious about becoming a para. Otherwise don’t bother.

### 2/5 — Was good while it worked

*2025-05-29, version 1.0.29*

Not sure if it’s the app getting confused or the long in though apple but ether way paid for it, got 3 week in and it broke. I really wanted to be a long term customer but looks like I won’t be

No support in app, hard to get support out of the app I had to message one of their instagram pages and there’s nothing they can do. 

If it works I’d recommend

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2023-05-22, version 1.0.27*

Good training program but the app itself is quite bad between regularly logging you out and not showing your program didn't want to be negative as I’m otherwise enjoying the training program but over the last few months of using it has been a issue.

### 5/5 — The only plan you need

*2024-03-17, version 1.0.29*

Been following The team for a while and decided to follow the red on challenge program to help prepare me for the army assessment centre. What I can say is I easily passed all the entry fitness standards and feel very confident going into training. Could not recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Best training app available

*2024-01-01, version 1.0.28*

Whether you are an aspiring ‘tactical athlete’ or currently serving, you need to be involved. 

This is the best training available. From a recruit in the military to a trainee in blue light services, even if you are a fitness coach and need accountability, you won’t find better considering it’s an app and for the price. 

Completely bespoke and adaptable training based on you and your needs. A very easy to use interface and responsive team behind every aspect, you cannot do anything but achieve your goals and win with this app. 

I’ve used this app for roughly 18 months and I am always improving on the standards I create for myself.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for getting more fit

*2023-08-18, version 1.0.28*

Great app. Very helpful. Would recommend checking out the audiobook as well (The Red on Revolution)

### 5/5 — Top notch

*2023-08-04, version 1.0.28*

Brilliant and detailed app which presents a structured, guided workout routine specifically tailored to the individual that adjusts on the fly based on previous data and prompts to the user. Worth every penny twice over.

### 5/5 — The best there is!

*2023-06-16, version 1.0.28*

Couldn't recommend this! Mike has created an app that is head and shoulders above the rest. No matter who you are and what your goals are you will get immense amounts of value from RoC - Kyran

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2023-06-05, version 1.0.27*

Best fitness app on the market. Bar none. Genuinely thought I was reasonably fit all round when I joined the app. I didn’t realise what I was missing. Listened to mikes book which combined with this program is like a cheat code. For context: took my 5k run time at 91kg from 22:31 when I did my first test week in feb, to 21:55 at the end of my first block to 20:02 12 weeks later, this block I’m on track to do a sub 20, still maintaining c.90kg bodyweight. All lifts have gone through the roof and genuinely less injured, more stable and more mobile than I’ve ever been. The cost of the app is outrageously low vs the quality of the content, trust in the process and results will follow.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — The App I Wanted

*2023-05-09, version 1.0.27*

I’ve been looking for the app that generates a personalised programme for the budding tactical athlete for a long time. I’ve tried similar products like Stoic Conditioning but Red On is a) better and b) cheaper so it’s a win win. 

Looking forward to seeing my results!

### 5/5 — Best Functional Training App

*2023-04-17, version 1.0.27*

This is the best functional fitness app out there! It is all tailored to your test week and easy to use. I have only been following the red on challenge programme and with no extra training I completed a hilly (1050ft elevation gain) off-road half marathon in under two hours. The next day my legs were fine and no major aches! 
Mike also sells socks - The socks were also epic, the course was wet and muddy and they kept my feet blister free! Thanks again.

### 5/5 — Really helping my development.

*2023-04-15, version 1.0.26*

I’ve always trained regularly but never really known what to do when in the gym. I now have structure and purpose when I train and have something to keep me on track. Lost a lot of weight and fitness and strength has improved loads.

### 5/5 — This programme is for anyone at any level and it works 🔥🔥🔥

*2023-04-12, version 1.0.26*

I’ve completed 2 blocks of training on the ROC programme and today on my third test week I’ve almost doubled my deadlift max from 60kg to 115kg. Injury free and feeling stronger and fitter than ever. This programme works and I’m proud to be part of it and the community support it provides.
