Providing Specialization in Police Fitness
"The most valuable part of this course was the practical aspect with students actively instructing peers. The instructor is professional, yet humorous, fun and in tune with modern concepts... It was a great experience" -E.L. Miami-Dade Schools
"I thought every aspect of this course was valuable even for myself who has an extensive education and experience in the fitness field... I thoroughly enjoyed the course!" - T.G. Palm Beach County Sheriff Exertional Rhabdomyolysis
If you have heard of high intensity training, then you might have heard of "Rhabdo". This condition is wildly misunderstood by most police departments. Unfortunately, we are seeing this occur more frequently in an academy training setting and it's important we educate our trainers about how to prevent it. Becoming familiar with identifying the signs and symptoms of rhabdomyolysis is important in saving lives. This condition occurs when your programs are moving too fast, too soon. If you have had someone sent to the hospital because of extreme dehydration or kidney problems, and/or they were admitted...you might have a case of rhabdomyolysis.

What Makes A Good Trainer?
In order to be a great trainer, you first have to want to mentor the people you are training. This mentorship process requires you to be hard on your trainees, but knowledgeable about how to keep them safe from unnecessary injury while helping them make improvements in their individual fitness. This is not a competition between you and them. The most impactful trainers, are leaders willing to demonstrate everything they ask of their trainees. They lead from the front, but are more interested in getting their trainees to perform at their best. Their trainees should question their commitment to their own fitness at times, but they should feel proud and victorious at the end of every session. Fitness training teaches the trainee about who they are when their bodies are stressed. You might see some arguing with each other, crying, giving up, or getting stronger. The place to teach them who they are is in the training process. Not after graduation.
"This was worth the trip and expense, Thank you for putting this into cop terminology..." M.H Natic PD "The instructor kept the class engaged the entire time and encouraged questions. She ensured clarity of the topics- The only way to improve this course is to extend it a day" L.J. City of North Miami |
