"Even in the short time that I've owned the Rapid Response program, using the first four videos has allowed me to retrain my muscles so that I can now deadlift without a belt as much as I was deadlifting with a belt (previously I had to drop my weight by about 50 lbs. when not using a belt). Pavel's books and articles are excellent, but the videos have really helped me take it to the next level, by actually seeing Pavel and other trainees apply the techniques that he talks about in the other books. It's like having Pavel in my living room, coaching me in the proper methods of achieving maximal tension and relaxation."

"As a 52 year old business owner with a yen to get strong(er) and lean(er) (not a SWAT team member nor a body-buiilder), within 2 weeks of receiving Pavel's Rapid Response tapes, using them only intermittently as my travel schedule has permitted, I have increased my deadlifts from 245 pounds to 265, my one-arm presses from 45 pounds to 65 pounds, my single arm curls from 45 pounds to 55 pounds, my pullups from zero to three. I use the Pavelizer I bought earlier this year correctly every day that I'm home, and I'm wearing 36-inch pants loosely that had been in my closet gathering dust as the dreaded middle-aged spread obeyed the laws of gravity and sloth. I combine the Breath of Fire and Second Focus techniques explained and demonstrated Pavel's Rapid Response tapes with my martial arts routine for more explosive power, and am ridiculously close to doing the splits for the first time in my life. As someone who was receiving physical therapy for herniated disks a few years ago, I also use Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning drills (especially the wall climb and bridging) and have no back pain whatsoever. Which was never the case when I was jogging as my sole form of exercise.

The nice thing about Pavel's tapes (and Matt's as well) is that they're almost better than a "live" seminar because I can review them whenever I want. As a person who travels every week on business, I find that the combination of Pavel's Rapid Response program and Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning have gotten me into the best shape of my life (I guess if you live long enough, the possibilities are enormous). The workouts leave me feeling fresh and energized; and I use Pavel's breathing techniques to deal with work situations on almost a daily basis. So, thank you, thank you, and thank you. I'm ready for more."

"As a former member of the Israeli Special Forces, I value tried-and-true techniques that will give me blazing speed, extreme flexibility, brute power and a panther-like strength. Pavel Tsatsouline’s SWAT video program Rapid Response delivers exactly this: a packed repertoire of inside tips and secrets on what it takes to become lean, mean and fighting fit."
—Ori Hofmekler, Publisher & author

"I have gained extensive benefits and learned many immediately effective techniques from all of Pavel Tsatsouline’s books and videos. I was amazed at how much additional fitness information I gathered from Pavel’s Rapid Response video set. Seeing Pavel teaching and perfecting the SWAT teams’ combat-readiness program, gave me a ton of applications to use in my own fitness facility, MAXERCISE. My clients—both male and female—have been thrilled and astonished by their new results from using these super-practical techniques. If you are interested in achieving and maintaining peak fitness, I strongly recommend you incorporate Rapid Response into your personal program."
