416 Tactical is proud to announce our official partnership with Darren Mehling of Freak Fitness — a game-changing addition to our Tin Club Membership affiliates.
At Freak Fitness, Darren coaches emergency responders, tactical athletes, and high-performance professionals to stay fit for duty, hard to kill, and ready for anything. This isn’t just hype — it’s lived experience.


Darren is a former Auxiliary Police Constable, Corrections Officer, and Casino Investigator. He knows firsthand the unpredictable demands of the job — long shifts, high-stress calls, and the physical and mental pressure that comes with serving and protecting. That’s why his coaching goes far beyond your typical “12-week challenge.”
You need a mission-specific, customized coaching system that aligns with your lifestyle, your shift work, and your operational readiness. That’s exactly what Darren delivers.
As a strongman turned champion bodybuilder, Darren has helped thousands of clients — including police officers, firefighters, medics, military members, and elite athletes — build sustainable strength, drop body fat, improve performance, and lead with confidence at home and on the job.
Whether your goal is to:
- Burn fat and get lean,
- Build tactical strength and conditioning,
- Or prep for a competition or high-stakes selection,
The Freak For Life Online Coaching program meets you where you are and takes you where you need to be — step by step, rep by rep.
Because when your fitness slips, your performance suffers — and in this line of work, that’s not just about you. It’s about the people who count on you. Darren won’t let you fail.
