Two paths. One track.
→ Firehouse
Ongoing programming for working firefighters. Strength and engine for stairs in full gear, hose and victim drags, ladder and overhead work, and a back and shoulders that last a career. Sessions fit a 24-hour shift and can be split if the tones drop.
→ Candidate
12 weeks built around the CPAT and fire academy PT: loaded stair climbs, drags, carries, forcible-entry strikes, crawling and the rescue drag, done in a weighted vest, plus the run and calisthenics academies test. Arrive ready for the academy, not just ready to pass.
Candidate rolls straight into Firehouse, and Firehouse keeps going, so you never run out of program.
Built like a coach wrote it,
because one did.
- Every day laid out for you: sets, reps, loads, rest, run distances and target efforts. Nothing to figure out.
- Real progression week over week, with planned recovery weeks.
- Loads set by effort (RPE), and by percentage of your max on the main barbell lifts, so it fits you on day one and grows with you.
- Written coaching cues on every movement, with video demos for most.
- Benchmark tests built in, so you see your numbers move.
- Built around what the CPAT tests and what the fireground demands.
Nutrition that works around a shift.
- Macro targets that follow your training: built from your body, your goal, and your schedule. Training days get more fuel than rest days.
- Same subscription. No second app.
The CPAT: the most common firefighter entry test
| Event | What it trains |
|---|---|
| Stair climb (3 min, 75 lb) | Leg endurance and engine under load |
| Hose drag | Pulling strength and grip |
| Equipment carry | Grip and carrying strength |
| Ladder raise and extension | Overhead strength and coordination |
| Forcible entry | Power and repeat effort |
| Search | Crawling, mobility, composure |
| Rescue drag (165 lb) | Full-body drag strength |
| Ceiling breach and pull | Overhead pulling and pushing |
Wear a 50 lb vest for all eight events, 10 minutes 20 seconds maximum. Some departments use a different agility test, and fire academies add runs, push-ups and other events. Candidate trains all of it. Check your department’s exact test and train past it.

Questions
Will this work on shift?
Yes. Sessions run about 45–60 minutes and can be split. Train in the station gym between calls.
I'm not in shape yet. Can I start?
Yes. Start with Candidate, or with the 4-Week On-Ramp first if you're new to training.
My department doesn't use the CPAT.
Most entry tests measure the same things: stairs under load, drags, carries, overhead work. Candidate trains all of them.
I don't have a sled or stair machine.
Every program lists substitutes: sandbag or backpack drags, loaded step-ups, sandbag strikes.
What else is in SOFReady?
Hybrid, Strength, Engine, Power, Tactical and Police tracks, plus nutrition, all in one subscription.
Does SOFReady handle nutrition too?
Yes. Macro targets built from your body, your goal, and your training schedule — training days get more fuel than rest days, and you can adjust your targets yourself. Same subscription, no second app.
I have diet restrictions. Does that work?
Yes. You can set diet restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, and meal suggestions respect them.
