What do you think of CrossFit for fire/EMS?
I ask because I recently became painfully aware of the loooong way I have to go before I'd consider myself ready to join a career fire department. (I also want to be in better shape for EMS-only jobs in the interim.)
I'm starting from pretty much nothing (I have a fair amount of strength but zero endurance and need to lose weight). I found a "box" here in Albuquerque that's run by firefighters and it seems like a good place.
For those with experience with the program, how do you feel it works for our field?
Have you had any issues with injuries? (This is my biggest concern)
Thanks!!
