Experience behind the coaching

Built by people who know the standard.

Complete Commando was founded by Sam Logan, who served for more than ten years across the Royal Marines and Royal Marines Reserve, including operational deployments.

The wider coaching team includes a current Army PTI, serving and former Royal Navy, Army and Royal Marines instructors, strength and conditioning coaches, qualified personal trainers and coaches with CrossFit and Olympic lifting credentials. Some serving coaches are not named publicly for operational security.

Angelo Ghisletta is a former Colour Sergeant and sniper in the Royal Irish, an Ironman finisher and a CrossFit coach.

Meet the team

Royal Marines

Candidates have progressed from no training background, low bodyweight or weak starting points to entering training and earning the Green Beret.

Officer selection

1-2-1 candidates have succeeded at RAF and Royal Navy pilot officer selection after previous failed attempts.

Long-term support

Coaching continues through preparation and, where appropriate, contact is maintained during training for encouragement and accountability.

Questions

Simple answers.

Is this only for Royal Marines candidates?

Yes. This is the dedicated Royal Marines programme. Army, Paras, Royal Navy and RAF candidates should use The Objective from the main Military Prep page.

Can I start before I apply?

Yes. Starting early gives you more time to build running, strength, mobility and consistent training habits before assessment.

Is Complete Commando an official Armed Forces recruitment site?

No. We are an independent coaching and preparation company. Use the official Armed Forces recruitment sites for eligibility, applications and current joining rules.
