Coffee with SHS: Are You Ready for the Job or Just Working Out?

  • May 21, 2026 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Eastern Standard Time
Coffee with SHS - web event (gym strong) 1280x720

Introduction:

Join members of the SHS Section Board and special guest speakers for this month's Coffee with SHS!

You do not need to be a member of the IAFC and/or the SHS Section to join this session. Everyone is welcome.

Session information:

There’s a difference between working out and training for the job. Firefighter fitness isn’t about looking strong, it’s about being able to do the work when it counts. We'll break down what functional fitness looks like in the fire service, from movement and technique to recovery and consistency. We'll also get into what that actually looks like in the fire service and why it’s so easy to let it slide if you’re not intentional about it.

We'll also tee up Safety Stand Down 2026 and how this year’s fitness theme gives crews a chance to take a hard look at how they’re taking care of themselves, on and off duty.

Logistics:

The 90-minute session will be held via Zoom on Thursday, May 21, beginning at 11:00 AM ET. There will be roughly 60-minutes of focused discussion, led by our guest speakers, followed by Q&A with session participants.
