FIREFIGHTER-SPECIFIC FITNESS PROGRAMS
BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE,
RESILIENCE, AND LONGEVITY
Most fitness programs don’t prepare you for the demands of firefighting. I help firefighters develop the strength, endurance, and resilience to meet the demands of the job—without breaking down from injuries or burnout—so they will always Be Response Ready.
THE CARDS ARE STACKED AGAINST US
Let's face it, the job's tough, and it's not getting any easier:
Physical Demands: This job beats up your body no matter how strong you are.
High Injury Risk: The intense physical demands of firefighting lead to tens of thousands of job-related injuries each year.
Shift Work and Sleep Deprivation: Long shifts and late calls wreck your sleep and leave you feeling exhausted on and off the job.
Health and Fitness Concerns: With 70% of U.S. firefighters overweight or obese, staying fit is a real challenge—especially with long shifts, firehouse food, and the daily stress of the job.
Cumulative Wear and Tear: Over time, the wear and tear of the job adds up—old injuries linger, recovery takes longer, and the fear of falling behind starts to set in.
Balancing Responsibilities: Balancing the demands of the job with personal and family commitments often leaves firefighters overwhelmed, trying to stay present at home while carrying the weight of it all.
That’s Why I Created
Firefighter Peak Performance
I’ve been there—long shifts, broken sleep, constant stress.
Over time, it wears you down.
After more than 30 years in the fire service and decades of performance coaching, I created Firefighter Peak Performance to help you train with purpose, stay healthy, and perform at your best—on and off the job.
Here’s how:
Job-Specific Physical Training: Build the strength, endurance, and resilience you need to meet the real demands of the fireground.
Progressive Programs: Each workout builds on the last to keep you moving forward with a clear path to improvement.
Flexible Training Schedule: Plans that adjust to shift work and the realities of the job—so you can stay consistent even when life isn’t.
Comprehensive Approach: Straightforward strategies for fitness, nutrition, and recovery to support long-term health and performance.
Smart, Intentional Design: A holistic approach—balancing intensity and recovery to manage wear and tear and reduce injury risk.
A Realistic Roadmap: A clear plan that fits your life—so you can stay confident at work and fully present at home.
It’s not just about getting strong—It’s about being ready when it counts.

Show Up Stronger—On Every Shift, In Every Season of Your Career
When you train with purpose, you build more than strength—you build confidence, resilience, and longevity.
Reduce your risk of injury and burnout
Perform with confidence in high-stress situations
Follow a proven, firefighter-specific training system
Build habits that support your health, career, and crew
Imagine Being Stronger, Healthier, and More Ready—On and Off the Job
Don’t Let Lack of Preparation Put You or Your Crew at Risk.
When firefighters aren’t physically prepared, the consequences are real:
Increased risk of injuries and slow recovery
Poor performance on the fireground
Greater risk of burnout and early exit from the job
Missed opportunities to lead by example
It’s not just your performance at stake—it’s your health, your team, your department, and the community you’ve sworn to serve.
