FXT is a stripped-down, high-impact training program built specifically for firefighters who want to get fit, stay fit, or push their performance to the next level—without the fluff or the need for a coach.

Each session delivers a balanced mix of strength, hypertrophy, conditioning, and job-specific functional work—designed to build real-world performance in just 60 minutes a day. With clear warm-ups, structured workouts, rest times, and cooldowns, FXT Basic gives you everything you need to train like a professional, on your own time.

This isn’t a bootcamp. It’s the foundation of fireground fitness—delivered with clarity, intensity, and purpose.
