The Ultimate Firefighter Workout Program…

I created the Ultimate Fire Rescue Athlete Workout because I was discouraged by all of the programs on the market claiming to be geared toward firefighters. In most of these cases programs were written by trainers and not by firefighters. Its taken over 12 years, thousands of hours of research and hundreds of training sessions to develop this workout. I truly believe it is the best total workout program for firefighters, EMTs and paramedics.

I personally use this program. It has helped me get through numerous academies and keep up (beat) the younger firefighters on my department (I’m well over 40). But, don’t take my word for it… take a look at what others are saying about the program. Lastly, if you don’t believe what your reading, try it for yourself. I will give you your money-back if you don’t agree.

the mission of fire Rescue Fitness is to provide the best programs and workouts for firefighters, EMTs and paramedics. I truly believe this workout can get your stronger, leaner and more efficient on the fire ground and in life. It will prolong your career and change your fitness…

Take a look at what other fire rescue athletes are saying.

Doug’s FRF Story

Last summer, at the age of 43, while training for my fourth marathon I experience pain in my knee that sidelined me. After visiting the with my doctor I was told that I no longer had a meniscus in my right knee and that arthritis was so severe that I needed to stop running. This was tough for me to handle. First, the pain was an issue. Second how was I going to stay fit for duty? Running, at the level that I was running burnt a lot of calories. Not running at all caused me to put on weight as well. I saw my weight climb to almost 200 lbs in just a few months.

At the end of October, I moved from being a part-time fire fighter and full-time pastor to a full-time fire fighter and full-time pastor. I needed to find some form of exercise to help me get back into shape, work with my arthritic knee, and work in my busy schedule. I came across the Ultimate Fire Athlete Workout and thought I would give it a try.

I began the program on January 11th at 198 lbs. I had a 34 in waist. I just finished the 12 week program and I am now 170 lbs and have a 30 in. waist! 28 lbs weight loss and 4 inches! I am in as good a shape as I ever was while running marathons and have added muscle in my arms, chest and abs that running never gave me. I have gained the strength and core balance that I need to do my job as a firefighter as well restored my cardiovascular fitness level.

I became the health and fitness officer (self-appointed) in my department and encouraged all of the fire fighters in our house to get more fit. I shared the program with all of them and made it available in our fitness room. I encouraged my shift partner, Eric Lorenz, to workout with me and he saw very similar results. In fact, he lost 33 lbs total and talks about how he has not been this size since he was in middle school and that he is in better shape now then when he was in the academy.

Both of us can now say that we are “Fit for Duty.” Our shift is encouraging others in the department to get moving. Some have started walking on the tread mill if they are around when we work out. We tell them, “If you are in the room with us you can’t be a spectator.” Others want to join us for workouts. We have actually started the program over again, as we look to see what we will do next; this time we have one of our paramedics joining us when our shifts match up.

I would also add that my knee is feeling wonderful. I did most of my cardio days on a bike or elliptical, I am able to do the sprint challenges and all of the overhauls no problem. The workout worked well for and with my knee pain issues. It also worked great with my schedule. I could get in and out and was also able to work it in while on shift.

I am very thankful for your program. I have lost all of the weight (and then some) I gained while pregnant. I was also in a car accident in January and was able to rehab and gain strength because of the FRF program.

I loved the program obviously because of the results but also because it was easy to follow and it used stuff fire houses have so it was very convenient.

I am officially down to 134 from when I started at 162 and have no intention of stopping there. I am stronger, leaner and feel very “fit for duty.”

I’m doing this challenge to show my coworkers and men that a woman can do the same thing as they can. I was getting tired of my coworkers telling me I can’t lift my patients cause they are too heavy for me.

I’m in love with my results… I have a stronger upper body, more stamina, and just all around feel better. I also lost 7lbs. of fat and 3 inches.

The biggest challenge for me with this was the diet. I was on the “see” food diet after I worked out , I see any food in front of me and I ate it. But, with the help of my fitness friends and close personal friends and the SOP Guidelines, I’m doing better. I love all the workouts that are in this program and just throwing in a couple of my own in here and there makes the workouts seem shorter than I really do.

Gabe’s FRF Story

As with many people I once again decided that 2015 would be different. I was going to lose weight and get healthy. This would be the year I actually stuck to my new year resolution. After a few weeks I was getting bored of the workouts I was doing and slowly started falling off the band wagon. Then I saw a Facebook post about Fire Rescue Fitness and decided to give it a shot. When I first started the program, I only worked out about 2 days a week and wasn’t that into it.

Then, I weighed myself one day as I was starting to run out of clothes that fit. When I read 308 on the scale I knew something had to be done know. As a volunteer firefighter, I knew I could not successfully do my job and I know, others depended on me, citizens and fellow firefighters. I also wanted to be able to go to the pool and play with my children without being exhausted and embarrassed of how I looked and felt. I needed to buckle down get after and get healthy—Be a good healthy role model for my family and the community.

I started the Ultimate Fire Rescue Athlete on Feb. 3rd and began to eat cleaner and healthier, drink lots of water and workout at least 4 days a week. As of March 23, I have lost 30 lbs, and 3 inches in my waist. I am a lot stronger and my cardio health is much better. The FRF workouts were very challenging but not impossible. I was able to get through each one and the variety always kept each workout fresh. I could easily relate the exercises to tasks performed on the fire ground. Even if you are not in the emergency services profession I recommend FRF to anyone wanting to change their life and get healthy.
