Who it's for
Every tactical athlete.
One standard.
Fire, police, EMS, military — different uniforms, the same demand: perform when it's hard. If that's you, this is built for you.
Test & academy candidates
You have a date and a test — CPAT, PREP, PARE, FORCE, or your service's own physical standard. We reverse-engineer the training from that bar and don't stop short of it.
Train like a tactical athlete
No test, no badge — you just want the capacity, strength and mindset the job demands. Same work, same standard.
The work
Built for what's ahead.
Whether there's a test on the calendar or not, the training points at something specific — never just a harder workout.
Pre-Service Prep
Getting ready to apply — CPAT, PREP, or your service's own physical test. We build you to the standard before test day, not after.
The Demands of the Job
Already in the role and maintaining the strength, stamina and durability the job actually asks for, day to day.
Pass Your Testing
A test on the calendar and one goal: walk in ready, clear the bar, done.
Your guide
I've walked this path.
"I've dreamed of becoming a firefighter for as long as I can remember. I studied kinesiology in support of that goal and graduated FESTI — the same path you're standing on now.
That matters, because I'm not coaching this from the outside. I know what the test asks, what the academy asks, and what the job asks after that. I know where people struggle, because I went through every stage of it myself.
Bring me your date and your standard. We'll figure out where you're starting from, build the plan, and do the work — one session at a time, until you're ready."
"Training is about becoming the kind of person who can perform when it matters most."
Credentials
Qualified to take you there.
The education behind the intensity — and the lived experience behind the education.
Kinesiology
A formal, degree-level education in how the body actually works — earned in direct support of the fire path.
Fitness & Health Promotion
Applied training in exercise science and coaching — the practical counterpart to the degree.
FESTI Graduate
Fire & Emergency Services Training Institute — trained in the real physical demands of the job.
"I thought I trained hard, until I met Cole."
"He pushed me to my limit every single workout. To say I've learned something new is an understatement. The way I train, eat and think has all changed me to be extraordinary thanks to Cole."
What you build
What the work
gives back.
Train to a hard, external bar and you build more than a pass on test day — discipline, resilience, confidence. Those lessons don't stay in the gym. They carry into every part of your life.
Elite work capacity
A bigger engine — you recover faster and last longer, in training and on the job.
Functional strength
Strength that transfers to the ladder, the hose, and the person you're carrying out.
Discipline & resilience
The ability to keep moving forward when things get difficult — built one hard session at a time.
Earned confidence
You'll know exactly what you can do under load — because you've already done it here.
Assessment
Find your standard.
Then clear it.
One assessment. We map your starting point against the bar you're chasing, and lay out the shortest line between them — the fee is credited back if you enroll.
