OUR HOME / OUR HISTORY

SOCOM fitness was officially founded by Captain David l. Vazquez (USMC 1977-1993) in October 2008. The concept of alternative training was developed over years of deployment in remote and often austere places such as Iraq, Panama, and the Mediterranean.

Although deployed and often in the field, physical conditioning for a Marine is second to the motto “every Marine a Rifleman”. Hence, the use of alternative methods to maintain top physical conditioning was developed via the use of everything from ammo cans to entrenching tools to sand bags.

Although somewhat refined for the civilian population, the use of unconventional training to exceed conventional results remains the core and basis for all training conducted by Captain Vazquez and the other instructors serving within the organization.
