RESCUE STRENGTH


We originally began publishing our training sessions on www.rescuestrength.com to share with some of Colorado's Finest Tactical Athletes.  






Our Work Capacity sessions where originally programmed for selected members of the Denver Fire Department to perform while they were on shift.










Our Strength sessions were designed for a team of Green Beret Athletes at Fort Carson to supplement their already extensive stamina and work capacity training. 

Now we have developed our programming around meeting the needs of all Tactical Athletes.  Our training encompasses our entire background of experiences from a Sport Athlete, to Military Athlete, and Rescue Athlete.  These experiences are first hand and our training session are not only programmed by our staff, but also performed by our staff.   

 Our goal is to provide training sessions and information to assists our MILITARY AND RESCUE ATHLETES in becoming STRONGER, FASTER, TOUGHER, and MORE DURABLE professionals.
Our Military and Rescue Athletes need to be extremely versatile athletes.
  • The need for strength and a strong work capacity are extremely important and neither component can be overlooked.  
    • It doesn't matter how fast you can make it to an incident, if you do not have the strength to complete the rescue.
    • It doesn't matter how strong you are if you are spent by the time your strength is needed and cannot perform.
  • Durability and injury prevention are also important for providing a long and lasting career of quality service.
    • A career of 20-30 years with the ability to have an active lifestyle afterwards is the long term goal for our athletes.
