The Fortitude Company
What does Fortitude mean?
Fortitude is key . It's what keeps you afloat under heavy pressure and keeps you going where others stop. It is the power behind discipline, willpower and courage. It's a shift in mindset; a willingness to think differently, take responsibility for your actions, and make independent choices. It is the ability to say “no” when everyone wants to hear “yes”. read more

What is the difference between a Tactical and a Fortitude Athlete?
Tactical athletes are individuals employed by the Defense, Justice or other government agencies. A Tactical athlete has a different objective; in addition to an overall fitness level, the programming is aimed at his/her performance of her work. A Fortitude athlete mainly focuses on overall health and/or preparing to win a competition or event.
