OUR FOUNDER
Led by a serving firefighter and conditioning coach.
Jack Burman is the founder of START UP Firefighter Performance. As a serving firefighter and conditioning coach, he combines operational experience with specialist knowledge in strength and conditioning, tactical athlete development and firefighter performance.
OUR APPROACH
Fitness is only
the foundation.
Being strong, fit and aerobically capable matters. But those qualities alone don't guarantee performance when PPE, load carriage, environmental stress and operational tasks are introduced.
01
BUILD
Physical Foundations
Develop the strength, aerobic capacity and physical qualities required to establish the foundation for firefighter conditioning.
02
CONDITION
Firefighter Conditioning
Develop the capacity to maintain performance against the additional demands of PPE, load carriage, environmental stress and operational work.
03
PERFORM
Firefighter Performance
Integrate physical capacity with task-specific demands to improve operational performance.
WHY START UP
Built on evidence.
Shaped by experience.
Firefighter performance shouldn't be built on guesswork. Our approach combines strength and conditioning principles, firefighter-specific research and operational experience to inform how we prepare you for the demands of the role.
EVIDENCE
Research informs how we train.
EXPERIENCE
Experience shapes how we coach.
INDIVIDUAL
Your training is built around you.
