Never imagined that I would be delivering a @firefighterffit workshop at Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site in southern Colorado, yet here we are! This is part of the Fort Carson Army Base installation.
We go anywhere we’re wanted or needed!

Up to 33% of on-duty firefighter injuries happen in the gym.
The #1 cause? Poor lifting technique: driving 44% of identified injury mechanisms. Shoulder & back. Every time.
Immobility sets the stage. Better technique is the fix.

TUESDAY: TECHNIQUE
How firefighters move matters as much as how strong or fit they are. This day focuses on movement quality, biomechanics, and proper exercise execution to improve efficiency, protect joints, and reduce preventable injuries.

Coffee with SHS: Are You Ready for the Job or Just Working Out?
There’s a difference between working out and training for the job. Firefighter fitness isn’t about looking strong, it’s about being able to do the work when it counts. We'll break down what functional fitness looks like in the fire service, from movement and technique to recovery and consistency. We'll also get into what that actually looks like in the fire service and why it’s so easy to let it slide if you’re not intentional about it.
We'll also tee up Safety Stand Down 2026 and how this year’s fitness theme gives crews a chance to take a hard look at how they’re taking care of themselves, on and off duty. Register now:
