Since 2015
About Us
we have helped firefighters all around the world lose weight, increase strength and boost on scene performance.
we are hero athletes
At Firefighter Furnace we believe firefighters are athletes. The physical demands our job requires is to train smart, be a master of our craft and be prepared for any situation. The only difference with us is that there is a lot more on the line when it comes to performance. We MUST think, train and perform like our lives depend on it, because it does.
We build HERO Athletes by focusing on the big 4:
- Mental Strength
- Mobility/Posture
- Cardiovascular Endurance
- Muscular Strength/Stamina
We did not become firefighters because it’s easy. We are who we are because we see and understand our purpose here on earth, to save lives.

I have had a passion in fitness and nutrition form an early age. Since then I have held multiple personal training certifications up to an elite level. I was a physical training leader within the U.S. Air Force helping members pass their PT tests. I then became a crossfit coach and even worked as a strength and conditioning coordinator for professional sports teams in Atlanta that led me to starting Firefighter Furnace in 2015.
