Performance philosophy

Strength. Capacity. Readiness.

Firefighter fitness is more than lifting weights or random high-intensity circuits. Training should develop the qualities the job asks of you.

01

Strength

Build the ability to move, carry, drag, and control external loads.

02

Engine

Develop aerobic capacity and repeatable work capacity.

03

Durability

Prepare the body to tolerate running, stairs, loaded movement, and demanding training.

04

Job capacity

Develop fitness that transfers to the physical demands encountered in fire training and the fire service.

Purpose-built performance

Capacity when the environment changes.

The job is unpredictable. Your preparation should build the physical foundation to move, carry, climb, and keep working when the pressure rises.

Forge apparel
