FIRST RESPONDER KETTLEBELL PROGRAM

  OPTION ONE: DEPARTMENT SEMINAR
Captain Mike will travel to your location and conduct a Firefighter Fitness seminar, based on his First Responder Kettlebell Program. Members will come away with a clear understanding on how to begin and maintain a fitness program specific for them. Smaller workshops will be as hands on as the number in attendance and time permits. Follow up training is available as well.

  OPTION TWO: FIRE ACADEMY INTEGRATION
The best time to start at the beginning. When firefighter-specific fitness is introduced in an academy setting, the members are eager and willing to do all that's necessary to excel. Mike can work with your instructors, setting up a program that they can execute over the long haul. Cooperation level of probies lends itself to some quick results. Probie school is prime time to instill a lifestyle that's conducive to a career firefighting.

  OPTION THREE: IN-FIREHOUSE TRAINING
Field units should have access to real training, stuff that will prepare them for what they may face at any moment. But it's got to be a safe, repeatable system, such as my firefighter -specific training, where the extreme nature of the job can be safely recreated. We can work with a small group at a local firehouse, as well as train and assign team leaders from your department to supervise the program in house.


This video is an example of how we integrate firefighter -specific, sled-training with the age old art of kettlebell lifting. Please enjoy the video of a CPAT Prep class!
