Freedom Workout of the Day (WOD): 4-Week Challenge
The Freedom WOD Challenge is a 4-Week training system built for military leaders who are serious about training themselves and their teams to be physically, mentally, and spiritually ready-for whatever life and the mission demands.
YOU'RE STRONG AT WORK.
BUT ARE YOUR FIT FOR THE WHOLE FIGHT?
Service members are trained in the skills necessary to win on the battlefield. Their bodies can perform farther than most can imagine. Often, though, minds and spirits check out long before their bodies. The harsh realities of combat operations and life demand a life built on self-mastery, discipline, grit, perseverance, honor, courage, and integrity.
One SYSTEM.
Four FRONTS.
01
PHYSICAL
Your classroom will be the gym or field so you can best experience emotional and mental transformation for what will show you in the mental and spiritual component
02
SOCIAL
You will train virtually and in person with other likeminded individuals, and you will be encouraged to take what you are learning to your professional family…your unit. This is how you will forge the bonds for you and your team to be unstoppable.
03
MENTAL
Curated leadership and resilience content from veterans, operators, and experts like Jocko Willink and Mark Divine. You'll build the mental edge to thrive under pressure — in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous conditions at work and at home.
04
SPIRITUAL
Faith isn’t compartmentalized here. You will have multiple active training sessions in Biblical life mastery, financial stewardship, corporate prayer, lethal force ethics, servant leadership, and purpose-all presented by experts especially coming from the military world who have served in your shoes and found how to integrate faith and profession.
"Before the Master's Program, I felt ashamed and embarrassed to speak about God. I had no prior knowledge of Scripture. Once I was awakened to His truth, I realized I had to fight for my faith. I am a Marine, a Warrior — I am not ashamed of that."

Built by a Marine.
Forged by 19 Years in the Fight.
My name is Chris Reardon. I spent 19+ years on active duty in the US Marine Corps, four years studying at the US Naval Academy, and a lifetime learning what it truly means to lead — on the battlefield and at home.
I spent my early years of my career chasing tactical competency and physical edge. What I found was that military leaders who led best in the worst moments — weren't just fit and skilled. They were integrated. Their faith was active. Their purpose was clear. Their friendship and leadership was genuine.
The Freedom WOD 5-Week Challenge a jump start training system I wish someone had handed me at 18 as a brand-new midshipman at the Naval Academy. It combines your individual and unit physical training regime with leadership insights from credible experts especially who have served downrange along with Biblical principles for you to apply so that you never have to choose between being a warrior, a leader, and living out your faith.
This challenge will teach you what it takes to integrate faith and profession so that you are your very best in the darkest moments.
