Veteran-Led · Corporate & Leadership Hikes & Challenges · Military & First Responders Physical Training Prep
Launch Pad ATX delivers veteran-led resilience and readiness experiences that build the physical, mental, and team capacity leaders need to perform under pressure. Through proven methods, we run corporate and leadership challenges, accurate all-branch fitness testing, and preparation programs for students, military & first responders. And every month, our community Walk/Run & Hike/Ruck brings everyone to the trail — open to all levels, built to keep you moving together.
Corporate Experiences
The Executive Resilience Ruck and The Crucible are our two primary veteran-led programs — built around leadership under pressure, communication, and unit cohesion.
A veteran-led leadership experience on the trail. Teams carry progressive load, face real decision-making under fatigue, and return sharper, tighter, and more unified.
4–7 miles · Standard & Elite options available
A high-intensity, station-based team challenge. Rotating missions under pressure, a final all-team objective, and a structured after-action review that turns coworkers into a unit.
Full station experience · After-action focused
Our monthly "Unity & Grit" challenge — a 6-mile Walk/Run or Ruck where you set your own pace and load, then take on stations that test you every step along the way.
Sample challenges
Challenges change every month, so no two Forge Six events are the same.

Testing & Prep
We also prep recruits, students, and homeschool families to accurate, all-branch military standards.
Accurate, standards-based testing across all military branches — ACFT, PFT, PRT — and first responder assessments including CPAT. Know your real score before you ever step in front of a recruiter or academy.
The coach on call for all your family’s fitness needs. We build structured PE and service-prep programming for homeschool students and co-ops.
Who We Are
Launch Pad ATX exists to prepare people — physically and mentally — for the standards of military service and first responder careers. We deliver accurate fitness testing across all military branches and first responder assessments (including CPAT), structured coaching for recruits and young athletes, and high-impact team challenges that build resilience in both future service members and corporate teams.
Whether you are chasing a recruiter's standard, preparing for the Police or Fire Academy, or leading a company through The Crucible, we bring the same disciplined, no-shortcuts approach to every rep.
Every event is scored exactly to branch standard, so your numbers mean something when it counts.
We coach the mindset and consistency that carry recruits and teams through the hardest days.
Teens, homeschoolers, young adults, and executive teams all train under one proven system.
