What Fire Service Leaders Are Saying...

Frank Viscuso - Deputy Chief

I promise you: At some point your body will be tested and your physical limitations will be exposed. It may be today, next week, or a year from now, but it’s going to happen.

Don’t waste any more time. Ask yourself: “What can I do today to physically prepare for that moment?” If you struggle to find an answer, I’m confident that Firefighter Functional Fitness is the solution.

Frank Viscuso - Deputy Chief Author of Step Up and Lead | Step Up Your Teamwork
Robert Owens - Lieutenant

Firefighters must be jacks of all trades-especially with their fitness.  We must have the endurance of marathon runners, the strength of powerlifters, the speed of sprinters, and the flexibility of yoga masters.

It is very difficult to find a program that gives you the knowledge and tools needed to accomplish this-until now.  With Firefighter Functional Fitness, Dan and Jim have nailed it! This book is a must-read for all firefighters!

As a career firefighter/paramedic and owner of BecomeFullTime.com, I am always giving aspiring firefighters tips on how they should train for the firefighter physical agility test.  This book is going to be my go-to reference for them!

Firefighter Functional Fitness is written to meet the needs of any firefighter. Dan and Jim address why optimal fitness is vital for all members of the fire service: volunteer, career, rookie, chief officer, retiree, man, and woman.

Not only does it address why, the book also gives real-world solutions to address firefighter health and wellness.

Fit for duty consulting logoFirefighter Functional Fitness not only teaches firefighters why they need to be fit for the job and exactly how to do it but it also teaches them what not to do by dispelling some harmful myths that have been in the fire service and fitness industry for too long.

As a scientist I’m excited to see a resource for firefighters that is research-based, and one that spells out a method that I know will be effective.

It is our responsibility as firefighters to be functionally fit and to be able to recover and do it again. Firefighter Functional Fitness provides a systematic approach to help firefighters fulfill the oath they swore to keep.

The Hanover Park Fire Department hosted a presentation by Chief Kerrigan of Firefighter Functional Fitness as part of our ongoing officer development/succession planning seminar series.  His presentation was timely, engaging and impactful!  Since the presentation, we are seeing an increasing number of our staff implementing many of the functional fitness concepts presented into their required shift physical fitness workout periods. Designed for firefighters by firefighters, Firefighter Functional Fitness uses a common sense approach that focuses on firefighters as industrial athletes, and it has helped many of our staff, including myself have a better understanding of how to prepare and maintain our physical condition in such a way to prevent on-scene injuries and to do a better job serving our residents, businesses and visitors.

The first twenty logoFirefighter Functional Fitness: The Essential Guide to Optimal Firefighter Performance and Longevity is right! Anyone who wants to be firefighter should be offered Dan and Jim’s book when they receive their turnout gear.

It covers everything a firefighter needs to know about functional fitness and how to put that knowledge into action. On behalf of The First Twenty and firefighters across America, thank you for your commitment to firefighter health!

Matt Valocchi - Chief Officer

The results of this functional fitness initiative have been staggering for my department! We have had multiple members drop weight in excess of 50 pounds, and the work has clearly paid dividends on the fire ground. The real key is understanding Dan and Jim’s message – you do not have to be a bodybuilder or a world-class sprinter.

Firefighter Functional Fitness is the comprehensive guide to achieving and attaining optimal performance and overall good health!
