Hi everyone. Im currently on week 5 of the academy and was wondering how did you guys get through the bad days? Like mentally. Currently feeling like I'm just slow in a way.

Hey! I’m in my third week of the fire academy, and it seems like a lot of my class, myself included, are struggling with working and exercising in full turnout gear, especially with the Florida heat. Do you have any advice for improving our conditioning and getting more comfortable working in gear for longer periods of time?

Hey Everyone, It’s my first post on here but have been hovering the community for the past few months! I recently got accepted into my departments recruit program and was wondering if anyone had some tips on the process. I’m currently in the fire academy so I have a head start on the Firefighting Curriculum, but was wondering if anyone had some pointers regarding the physical aspect of recruit program’s and what exactly I should be training for ahead of time / throughout the program. I train Crossfit and incorporate a lot of weighted stair master and HIIT sessions into my workout’s but am wondering if there is anything else I should be doing! Any advice is appreciated thanks!

————————————————————————— Moving forward, our Thursday workouts at 5:15 PM at the Broward College Parking Garage will remain completely FREE and open to everyone. For the time being, we’ll be removing our Sunday workouts at Vista View Park from the schedule. There are a few reasons behind the change.
