Fitness isn't optional in the fire service.

Being out of shape not only puts you at risk, but it also puts your teammates and the general public in harms way too.

Let's face it, as first responders the cards are stacked against us. We are inundated with increasing. call volumes, a lack of sleep, and a compiling list of responsibilities. Unfortunately, none of that matters and we are expected to show up ready to get the job done at a moment's notice because we are the professionals. When there's nobody left to call for help, we are it. Nobody is coming to save us. We have to be ready.

If you take your job seriously (which I assume you do if you're reading this) then I assume you want to get the most out of your workouts. You're the type of person who wants to be in shape, wants to help others, and wants to lead from the front.

What Fit For Fire can provide you is a regimented program you can follow both on shift and off. It's adaptable to the demands of the job and takes into account the added stressors we encounter on a daily basis.

You will be provided with 6 workouts per week, periodized into cycles that make sense. No. more random "workout of the day" or "gym bro splits". This program does it all. It will increase your strength, increase your power, increase your endurance, and mostly importantly increase your confidence.

You perform baseline testing, and then again every 3 months thereafter to actually track your progress. Each week you will do 2 traditional strength training sessions, 2 HIIT workouts, 1 functional strength session, and 1 Zone 2 session. For those of you who are psychopaths, there is also the option to do gear workouts as well.

You won't find a better deal for programming that actually fits your needs and provides you access to a coach (yours truly) who you can bring your questions to anytime.

If you've read this far, then I'm not sure why you haven't signed up yet...

In all seriousness thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy the program. More importantly, thank you for what you do, we need more people like you out there. Now let's get after it!
