HWPO Training encompasses fitness programs created for a community of HARD WORKERS, inspired by 5x CrossFit Games Champion, Mat Fraser’s motto “Hard Work Pays Off”. The HWPO Training app offers a variety of programs to suit different lifestyles, goals, equipment accessibility, and skill levels. Whether you need to be in and out of the gym in 45 minutes or you’re training to be an elite-level competitor, HWPO Training has a workout program for you. Athletes can track their progress using personalized sessions based on individual performance metrics and celebrate their achievements on the real-time leaderboard. The app also provides coaching videos by Mat Fraser himself, as well as our team of world-class expert coaches, guiding members through every training session and providing demos of each exercise. Our HARD WORKERS also gain access to our members-only support platform, where they can ask questions, receive feedback, watch exclusive content and engage with others in the community around the world. No matter how or where you move, all we ask is that you live out our core values in and out of the gym: SHOW UP. Do today what others won’t so tomorrow you can do what others can’t. WORK HARD. Define success for yourself and be relentless in your pursuit of it; it’s about the process. MAKE YOURSELF PROUD. Do things with intention and set an example of HARD WORK for those around you.

EVX Tactical

You don't train to look good in a photo. You train to stay capable: to carry weight, to move without discomfort and to perform when it actually matters. EVX Tactical is a performance control system for men aged 35 to 60 who have no time to waste. No trends, no influencer routines: structure, judgment and scientific backing. THREE PROTOCOLS. ONE SYSTEM. You don't start where you'd like to. You start where your body is today. ARMOR "Muscle is your armor." Build mass and structure where it matters most: upper back, shoulders and core. Effective mechanical tension, without frying your nervous system. ENDURANCE "Hard to kill." Work your mobility, joints and tendons, and build a tireless aerobic engine in Zone 2, with zero impact. Your starting point if you're coming from a sedentary life or carrying nagging aches. Backed by the biomechanics of Dr. Stuart McGill. TACTICAL "Real operational performance." Fuses maximal strength with high-power conditioning: heavy barbell, kettlebells, carries and rucking. Technique and stability under fatigue, to NSCA (Tactical Strength & Conditioning) and Tactical Barbell standards. BUILT FOR YOUR AGE, NOT FOR A 20-YEAR-OLD. A short questionnaire assigns your protocol and starting phase, and calibrates load and recovery to your real body. You train 3, 4 or 5 days a week: we fit the plan to your schedule, not the other way around. WHAT YOU GET • All 3 protocols and 9 progression phases • Every mission with a demonstration video • Biometrics tracking and progress stats • A clear path: you know what to do and why This is not empty motivation. It's a method. Start with a free trial.
