readiness testing
why test?
FIT TO SERVE ON DAY ONE
Public safety professionals face high-pressure, high-risk circumstances demanding training, experience, and importantly, a high level of physical fitness. Fit2Serve aims to ensure police officers, firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, members of the military and others in public safety are at the levels of fitness required to do their jobs effectively and without injury, on day one.
independent testing
The public safety and strength/fitness professionals of Fit2Serve offer independent testing with accurate results to all those currently serving and aspiring to serve in Rhode Island’s police and fire departments, emergency services, and in the U.S. military. Fit2Serve focuses on independent testing and accurate results local police and fire departments can rely on to measure the fitness of current and possible public service professionals in their communities.
ACHIEVE READINESS
Fit2Serve accurately measures readiness and helps public safety professionals achieve required fitness standards, when testing shows they do not meet those standards. With decades of experience as fitness, strength, and conditioning coaches for law enforcement, military, and elite athletes, we can provide fitness training programs and guidance.
