Fitness Rooms for the Fire Department

Strength, coordination, endurance, and speed – the physical demands on firefighters are extremely diverse. Only regular training ensures the necessary performance for intervention and saves lives in case of emergency. Special stamina is also required during large-scale operations or disasters, when peak performance must be sustained over a long period.

Setting Up a Fitness Room at the Station

Depending on the available space and budget, Fitness Leasing offers special configurations of fitness equipment that enable as versatile training as possible at the fire station.

For basic endurance training, compact treadmills or ergometers are ideal. These fit even in the smallest fitness rooms. If more space is available, rowing machines like the Vortex VX2 from First Degree make the perfect addition. Rowing machines allow for a very effective full-body workout.

With a multi-strength station, a very varied strength training can be performed. Many exercises, such as lat pull-downs, bench presses, rowing, and arm and leg curls, strengthen the main muscle groups of the body. The guided movements reduce the risk of injury in the maximal strength range compared to exercises with free weights. However, these should not be missing in any gym: Training on the bench press develops coordination, as the free weights must always be kept in balance.

In functional training, complex movement patterns engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. The training method, which became popular in the 1990s, is now experiencing a renaissance. The primary resistance used is the body weight, but suspension trainers, kettlebells, and battle ropes allow for countless variations. Functional training can also be done outdoors in the fresh air. However, the immediate availability of firefighters speaks in favor of setting up a training room at the station. Fitness Leasing recommends the versatile and space-saving Queenax modular series from Precor for this purpose. Even in the smallest room, a functional training station of studio quality can be created.
