Take part anywhere, anytime
Are you ready to push beyond your limits? This 4-part challenge series, inspired by the world’s most gruelling Special Forces selection tests, is designed to take you to your breaking point—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Each challenge is relentless, escalating in intensity with one goal: to test how far you can go. There’s no finish line, no predetermined end—the challenge only stops when you do.
Disclaimer: This series is not affiliated with any military organisation. It is inspired by publicly available information and designed to honour the spirit of the armed forces, not replicate their training.
As opposed to standard finisher medals, we reward our challengers with an iron-on Finishers Pip. Attach it to your training t-shirt or display it on the presentation card provided, this small patch carries with it big significance, reminding you of the grit and determination that got you there.

I love the challenges. They are just right to push me outside of my comfort zone. The support from fellow competitors is awesome as the focused goal of the group is to challenge each other to be better.
Paul McDonald
Now completed my second challenge in a row and really starting to feel the benefits. The challenges are varied and help to hit all the muscle groups whilst having an element of fun.
Dennis Collins

Vicky Shipman
Absolutely love the Rokman challenge series. I like the way only one activity brief is released each week as it allows you to focus and fully engage with the challenge, there is always great support in the facebook group... will definitely be coming back for more!
Adam Badat
I love a challenge and this was the perfect fit. It was a brand new start for me after mostly gym based bodybuilding style training for years. It’s really improved my cardio and functional ability. The team are very supportive and responsive and the challenges are tough but fun.
Graham Berry
I’ve just completed the High Walk challenge (UK Special Forces) and loved it. It changed-up my normal running regime, challenged me physically, pushed me mentally as I wanted to succeed and did, I got sore legs, a pip and certificate to be proud of and a true sense of achievement.
Josie Cheshire
I found this a challenge but achievable. It's made me realise I'm made of tougher stuff than I thought. The Team Rokman Facebook group is also encouraging and everyone is super friendly. I've already signed up for another month.
Steve Sherman
Good challenges, able to fit in around training and work, all efforts scored whatever your level. Great support from the community. Nice to do something different.
Andy Laws
The challenges was great, you could choose a level that suited you but still pushed you as you were trying to reach times and targets within your level. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking to push themselves that bit harder. The chat and motivation within the group was good and really helped push you along.
Graham Taylor
Tough as old boots but very rewarding challenges, go there, sign up, get out there, and get it done... !!! Seriously these are good guys
Do I need to be mega fit?
No. Rokman challenge series offer a variety of different levels of entry to suit all fitness levels, from novice all the way up to advanced.
How does it work?
How does it work?
How long do we have to complete each challenge?
We recommend that you complete each challenge within 7-days from the date of issue. However, we understand that life can often get in the way, so that’s why accept submissions up until 7-days after the end of the monthly series.
What is someone cheats?
We do our very best to weed out any cheating by asking people to evidence their challenge attempts. However, due to the nature of this being an online challenge series, it’s not 100% fool proof.We have to take everyone’s submissions at face-value. If we can confidently identify people either cheating or doing the challenge incorrectly, we will notify the competitor privately via email.At the end of the day, the leaderboard is just a bit of competitive fun. These challenges are personal tests of resilience. If people decide to cheat, they’re only cheating themselves. If you concentrate on yourself and give your best honest performance then you can hold your head high at the end of the day.
What if I don't enjoy it, can I get a refund?
Absolutely! If you try it and decide it's not for you, we offer a 30-day no questions asked money back guarantee.
Can I use a treadmill?
All running challenges are designed to undertaken outside, however, if you are unable to go outside we will accept treadmill entries. If participating on a treadmill, the treadmill must be set at a 2.5 degree angle.
