The stronger you are the easier your life will become. You’ll have more strength to maneuver around or through tricky obstacles.  You'll be up and over anything in your way. You'll maintain a faster pace on air for a longer period of time. You will climb ladders faster and more importantly easier.  Strength and power are incredibly important to your firefighting career.

When you are in top physical condition, you are less likely to injure yourself if (when) you fall.  That's because you'll have a lot more padding when you hit the ground. Your muscles are better prepared to hold your joints in place and prevent you from overextending.  The muscle you gain will help prevent pulled muscles, torn ligaments / tendons and broken bones.

When training is performed properly you will improve your movement and flexibility. This will lead to better posture, better movement, less aches and pains - and you’ll find everyday movements much easier -- even for simple things such as bending down to pick something up off the floor.

Exercises such as deep squats, full range press ups, overhead dumbbell presses, Romanian deadlifts and tons more, all promote full range of motion in your muscles. The personalized protocol of the FireFit-For-Life Program will teach you how to perform all kinds of movements properly... and specifically to the biomechanics of YOUR BODY.

Proprioception is your body’s ability to know where it is in space. Sport stars have great proprioception. Think of the downhill skier knowing precisely where to put his or her feet, hips and arms to nail a perfect turn.

If you don’t know where your body is in space, it's difficult to move effectively in a tight spot in a fire.

• Are your hips out or in?
• Is your elbow up or down?
• Is your heel dropped or flat?

It's imperative to know exactly where your body is during a search.

The training protocol included in the FireFit-for-Life Program gradually prepares your body to know exactly where it is in space - particularly the extremities like your hands and feet.

Weight training improves bone density. This gives you a lower risk of developing Arthritis and other joint/bone degenerative diseases. It also means if you jump off the truck and land funny, you are less likely to break a bone. It also slows down the degeneration of your bones as you age--  so they aren’t as brittle. 

All first-responders deal with some of the world's harshest tragedies and circumstances.  We know this going in.  Over time, however, it can beat you down -- mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is exactly why the FireFit-For-Life Program is so effective.  We talk it out.  We work together, one-on-one, to ensure you maintain a positive mindset toward your tasks at hand, your career and your life. 

From the fire house to your own family house - the FireFit-For-Life Program is designed around YOU as an individual -- and holistically around your entire life.

That means we go BEYOND exercise and nutrition.  At our one-on-one sessions we'll discuss ALL of the challenges and obstacles you face in your daily life.   Then, we'll strategize on how to balance and prioritize the important things that result in you being the best you can possibly be!
