Author Jack Carr mentions StrongFirst in his second novel, "True Believer,"

Like most of the special operations community, their physical training centered on useful strength, cardiovascular endurance, and durability, which, as both of them were pushing age forty, was increasingly important. Looking like a steroid-fueled bodybuilder was not part of the equation and was a liability in terms of both physical performance and blending into civilian populations.

Their workouts pulled elements from various coaches and training programs including CrossFit, GymJones, and StrongFirst. The idea wasn't to be able to compete with endurance athletes, powerlifters, or alpinists, but to achieve a broad-based level of fitness that would allow them to perform well in each of those areas.
