"Our crazy First-Responder lifestyle makes it so difficult to improve our strength and physical performance.
Periodized-Hybrid training is a unique year-round fitness strategy that I discovered through years of leading wildland fire crews, as I struggled to stay prepared for fire-season not just once, but year after year.
By following this strategy, you’ll increase your strength and year-round performance, because its specially developed for the challenges and commitments of our first-responder lifestyle."
♦️ It is our honor and passion to equip workers and leaders with effective strategies to unlock powerful performance and positive attitudes.
