Legacy / Frequently asked questions

QUESTIONS?
START HERE.

Choosing a programme, fitting training around shifts or getting to grips with TrainHeroic. Here are the things people ask us most.

01 / Getting started

FIND YOUR
PROGRAMME.

Who is Legacy training for?

Military personnel, police, first responders and civilians who want to be more physically capable. You do not need to wear a uniform to train with us. You do need a goal, a willingness to put the work in and a programme that fits your starting point.

How do I choose between the programmes?

Start with your goal, current training experience, available equipment and the number of sessions you can realistically complete each week.

Compare the programmes to see who each is for and how the week is structured. If you are unsure, message us with your role, goals and available training days so we can help you choose.

Is there an option if I am newer to structured training?

FOUNDATIONS is a good place to look if you want to establish a solid base and become more confident with structured strength and conditioning. It is not about doing random easier sessions; it is about building something you can progress.

Tell us your training history if you are unsure where to start. View FOUNDATIONS.

Can you help me prepare for a course or selection?

Yes. We offer preparation for military courses and selection, alongside training for the physical demands of policing and specialist roles. Browse our programmes to find the option that matches your pathway.

The right choice depends on the course, how far away it is and your current standard. Tell us your course date, training background and where you need to improve so we can help you choose.

02 / Training around real life

OPERATE INSIDE
YOUR REALITY.

Can I follow Legacy while working shifts?

That is a reality we understand. Build your training around the time and recovery you actually have, rather than pretending every week looks the same.

PROTECTOR is designed around two core sessions with optional additional work. Other programmes may also fit, depending on your schedule. Ask us for help choosing the right option before trying to squeeze a high-volume plan into a week that cannot support it.

What should I do if I miss a session?

One missed session does not mean the plan has failed. Look at what remains in your week, prioritise the key work and ask us if you need help rearranging it. Do not turn every missed day into a reason to cram several hard sessions together.

TrainHeroic supports moving individual sessions in your calendar. See the rescheduling guide.

What equipment will I need?

It depends on the programme. Check the equipment list on its TrainHeroic page before signing up. A programme built for a full gym will have different requirements from a minimal-kit option.

If a particular piece of kit is missing, tell us what you have available. We can help you work out a suitable alternative and whether the programme is still the right fit.

Can I combine this with BJJ, sport or extra running?

Tell us what you are already doing. BJJ, sport, running and physically demanding work all contribute to your total training load.

We can help you decide where the programme fits and what should take priority. Adding more work is not automatically the answer if it stops you recovering or progressing.

Can I build muscle without losing my conditioning?

Our programmes train strength and conditioning together, with the balance changing according to the goal. OP MASSIVE puts more emphasis on size and strength; HYBRID puts more emphasis on endurance; ATHLETE develops broader physical performance.

Choose the emphasis you need, then give the plan enough consistency to work. Your training should improve what you can do outside the gym as well as how you look.

03 / Using TrainHeroic

OPEN THE APP.
GET TO WORK.

How do I find my training after joining?

Download TrainHeroic and sign in with the same account you used to join the programme. Open your training calendar, select the session and read the instructions before starting.

Work through any readiness check, movement preparation and prescribed training. The videos and coaching notes are there to help you understand what you are doing. If the programme does not appear, check the account you are signed into and contact us or TrainHeroic support.

Do I need to wait until Monday to start?

Once you have access, open the calendar and read the programme notes. Check the current week and any instructions about where to begin.

If you are unsure how to join the current training or where to start in a preparation plan, ask us. We would rather point you in the right direction than have you guess or restart a block unnecessarily.

What do A1, A2 and A3 mean?

Exercises sharing the same letter are grouped together. For an A1/A2 pairing, complete A1, then A2, and repeat for the prescribed rounds. Follow the stated rest periods and coaching instructions.

Do not assume that every grouped exercise is a race or that no rest is allowed. The session notes explain how that particular block should be performed.

Why should I log my weights, reps and results?

If you know what you did last time, you have a better starting point for the next session. Log what you actually completed, including the load, reps and conditioning result where relevant.

Use notes when something needs context. The app is one of your best tools for consistency and progression, but only if the information you put into it is honest and useful.

What if I do not recognise an exercise?

Watch the demonstration video and read the coaching instructions before starting. If you are still unsure, ask in the app or our Discord rather than guessing.

You can also share a training video with the coaches for feedback. Let us know if the issue is the movement, the instructions or the equipment you have available.

04 / Membership and support

YOU HAVE
BACKUP.

What coaching and community support do I get?

You can ask training questions through TrainHeroic and the private Legacy Discord. The Discord link is available through the programme. You can also reach us through our Legacy Instagram.

Our community includes military personnel, police and others invested in getting better. Ask questions, share your training and use the experience around you. Joining Legacy is about being part of that community, not simply receiving a list of exercises.

Is nutrition support included?

You can ask general nutrition questions in our Discord, and the Nutrition page gives you a practical starting point for fuelling training, understanding macros, building meals, hydration and consistent habits.

Our approach starts with supporting the work you do. Message us with your goals, training and work pattern if you want help applying the basics to your own circumstances.

How does the seven-day trial work?

Eligible Legacy team subscriptions offer a seven-day trial through TrainHeroic. Use it to explore the training, app and community. Check the offer, eligibility, price and billing date shown at checkout.

A trial becomes a paid subscription after it ends unless you cancel in time. Check your trial end date in TrainHeroic and cancel before it expires if you do not want to continue. Read TrainHeroic’s trial guidance.

How can I stop my subscription?

For a subscription purchased through the TrainHeroic Marketplace, manage the subscription or trial through your TrainHeroic account and complete the cancellation confirmation. Check the end date shown for your access.

If you subscribed through Apple, manage the subscription through Apple instead. Follow the current cancellation instructions.

What if I want to move to another Legacy programme?

Message us before starting another paid subscription. Tell us what has changed: your goal, work pattern, available equipment or the time you have to train.

We will help you choose a better fit and explain the steps for your membership. Do not assume that joining one programme automatically includes every other programme.

How is 1:1 coaching different, and how do I enquire?

1:1 coaching is fully individualised training written around your goals, experience, equipment and work pattern. We start with a detailed conversation, then adapt your programme week to week and upload the following week a few days in advance.

You work directly with James, with WhatsApp access for check-ins, feedback and adjustments. Use the 1:1 coaching enquiry form to tell us about your goals and circumstances.
