MEETING THE PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF FIRST RESPONDERS

When you’re a first responder, life changes in an instant. Life Fitness has the solutions to give first responders a critical edge: tactical strength and conditioning, career longevity, and the chance to save more lives.

For firefighters, police officers and EMTs, the challenge is usually physical. Whether scaling a ladder in heavy turnout gear, bolting out of a squad car, or sprinting behind a gurney, health and conditioning gets the job done and enhances the safety of everyone involved. Life Fitness supports these goals, and offers the equipment and strategy to improve lives — before and after the sirens blare.

Studies Have Shown
that 50% of injuries suffered during fireground operations are strains, sprains or muscular pain. Furthermore, 38% of on-the-job injuries suffered by EMS workers are caused by body reaction or exertion.

The Takeaway
Injury prevention, especially with first responders, begins with health and conditioning. When you throw yourself into danger on a daily basis, you need to train for every contingency and come to work protected. As the global leader, Life Fitness has durable, innovative equipment that helps first responders perform better and stay on the job — for the long haul.

Unrivaled Fitness Equipment
Cardiovascular endurance is a key factor for getting in and out of dangerous situations, and strength is critical for protecting oneself and others. Our cardio equipment can be pushed as far as your first responders can take it, and our benches and racks are rugged, reliable and biomechanically sound. Whichever products you choose, know that they will be a long-term and trusted addition to your facility.

Tactical Strength and Conditioning
How many pounds your first responders can squat isn’t important, but their ability to optimize physical job performance is. That’s why Life Fitness can help you construct the ideal facility to bring core strength and functional fitness to the forefront. In an environment exclusive to first responders, we recommend the Ground Base series and Hammer Strength racks for strength, the SYNRGY360 for agility, and our full line of cardio equipment for endurance.

Life Fitness provides the right layout for buildings of all sizes. We can put together a plan to convert a space as small as 500 square feet into a fitness area that first responders will want to use. Give us the specifications of your facility, and we’ll provide the ideal solution.
