CPAT Training

explosive

Prepare for the firefighter physical agility by real active firefighters who are also strength & conditioning coaches.

My CPAT training services are built to do more than just get you in better shape. They’re designed to prepare you for the actual demands of the test. Every candidate begins with an assessment where we review each CPAT station, identify strengths and weaknesses, and establish a clear plan moving forward. From there, training is tailored to the individual. Some candidates only need a few sessions to clean up technique, improve pacing, and build confidence. Others may need more time to develop the strength, conditioning, and work capacity required to pass. We work on station-specific technique, stair-stepper preparation, grip strength, dummy drags, hose pulls, equipment carries, ladder work, forcible entry, and maintaining control while fatigued. You’ll learn where to push, where to recover, and how to avoid wasting energy. As a career firefighter/paramedic, longtime strength and conditioning coach, and fire academy instructor, I understand what the test requires—and what the job demands after you pass it. The goal isn’t simply to survive the CPAT. It’s to show up prepared, confident, and ready to earn your spot.

Ideal for: Looking struggling to pass, need event specific coaching, tune ups before test day
Focus: Focuses on your pitfalls and pain points of the CPAT test

CPAT Assessment
CPAT Assessment

The CPAT Assessment is the starting point for candidates who want to know exactly where they stand and what they need to improve.
During this one-on-one session, we review the physical demands and techniques of each CPAT station. You’ll work through key movements under fatigue so I can evaluate your strength, conditioning, technique, pacing, and overall readiness.
This is not just a workout. It’s an honest evaluation designed to identify your strengths, expose your weaknesses, and create a clear plan to help you pass.

1-on-1

After we’ve gone through your assessment, now we can dial training in. These 1-on-1 sessions are designed to help you improve the areas we identified in your assessment.

Semi-Private

Have a classmate, friend, or fellow candidate preparing for the CPAT? Train together in a small-group setting that adds accountability, encouragement, and healthy competition, while also making each session more cost-effective.

Remote Programming

Need a training plan for the days you aren’t meeting with a coach? We’ve got you covered.
Your program will be built around the specific strength, conditioning, and work-capacity improvements you need to make, while also accounting for the equipment and training environment available to you. Whether you train at a commercial gym, a home gym, or somewhere in between, you’ll have a clear plan designed to keep you progressing toward your goal.
