About Coach Lewis

Benton Lewis, CSCS, TSAC-F, RSCC

Tactical Strength & Conditioning Coach

I specialize in empowering Medical Providers aspiring to support or actively serving in SWAT and Tactical Teams through elite Online Tactical Fitness Coaching.

With over four years of development alongside EMS professionals, my Tactical EMS Readiness Program integrates the Tactical Athlete Conditioning System (TACS) to deliver unmatched training in physical readiness and resilience. This proven system ensures mission-critical performance in demanding environments, complementing technical, tactical, and psychological readiness with superior physical preparation for high-stakes operational roles.

Recently, TACS has also gained recognition in the Civilian Defense Industry, equipping civilians with the physical preparedness needed to protect communities and maintain resilience in uncertain times.
