Who we coach
Every plan is written for the job you actually work — the shifts, the gear, the calls that do not wait — not for someone with a free morning and a quiet night's sleep.
Patrol, SWAT, corrections, detectives, deputies.
Rotating shifts, court days, and a duty belt that tells the truth. We build strength and conditioning you can use in a foot pursuit or a fight, take off the weight that lives under the vest, and keep your energy steady through midnights — without wrecking your sleep or your days off.
Career, officers, wildland.
24s, 48s, and station food. We program around the tour so recovery holds on shift and off, build the work capacity to carry, drag, and climb in full gear, and take the strain off your heart — the thing that takes more firefighters on duty than fire does.
Paramedics, EMTs, nurses, ER and OR staff.
Twelve hours on your feet, missed meals, and the crash after. We give you a plan that fits between calls and around nights, fixes the eating that shift work broke, and rebuilds the strength to lift, carry, and stay sharp at hour eleven.
Military & veterans — Where the standard came from. Active duty, Guard, Reserve and veterans train here too — PT-test-ready conditioning, deployment-proof programming, and a plan that survives a PCS.

Client Outcomes
Real clients, real results. A stronger body, sharper confidence, and a standard you carry on and off duty.
Individual results vary. Client stories reflect personal experiences and are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
68 lbs lost · 8 pants sizes down
Josh, a 42-year-old firefighter, felt tired and stuck after years of yo-yo dieting. In 7 months, he lost 68 lbs, dropped 8 pants sizes, and now leads workouts with confidence. He's fitter on the job, showing abs at the beach, and inspiring his daughter and family to follow his lead.
38 lbs down · muscle up · 7 months
Maddison, a firefighter, broke her collarbone and scapula — the first time her body wouldn't do what she needed. Seven months after joining she's down 38 lbs of mostly body fat with muscle added, trained straight through a tweaked back on swaps her coach made the same day, and says the team feel is no different from the firehouse.
75 lbs lost in 6 months · deadlifting again
Ryan, a police officer on rotating shifts, ate his way down a spiral of overnights and takeout — the heavier he got, the less he trained. Six months in he's down 75 lbs without losing strength: a back that couldn't deadlift when he started now pulls pain-free. Would he do it again? “Without hesitation. It wouldn't even be a second thought.”
31 lbs down · best PT run · stronger than before
Marcy, an ICU nurse and National Guard soldier, came to take off the weight from a surgery and keep her PT run sharp. It came off one to two pounds a week and stayed off — more than she'd gained — with one of her best run times on the test and more strength than before. Clearer at work and in school, too.
40+ lbs lost · strength and confidence restored
R.J., a full-time cop, Army vet, and father of 3, was exhausted and stuck after years of night shifts. He dropped 40+ lbs, built muscle, and regained energy and confidence — without extreme diets or sacrificing family time. Now in his best shape since his 20s, he calls it “the best investment I've ever made.”
Stronger · eating cleaner · fitness-test ready
Nutan, a deputy sheriff, wanted to do the job without the body holding back, pass the fitness tests, and set an example for others — and wasn't sure online coaching could work. Now: stronger, reading every label, shopping cleaner, with weekly check-ins that made it click. The advice to anyone on the fence: “Do it. It's worth it.”
40+ lbs lost · stronger leadership
Thomas, a fire captain, joined after surgery to get back in shape. He lost 40+ lbs, got stronger, and now leads his crew from the front. With simple meals and smart workouts, he feels great and helps others at his station get healthy too.
10 lbs lost in 8 weeks
Christian, a ship captain and volunteer firefighter, joined after getting winded in a fire drill and wanting to set a better example for his sons. Despite limited gear and food on a moving ship, he gave online coaching a shot. In 8 weeks, he's down 10 lbs, stronger, and full of energy.
10–12 lbs lean muscle · earned a place on SWAT
Jonathan, a midnight-shift cop and single dad, joined Pursuit after in-person trainers failed to deliver the structure or flexibility he needed. In 12 months, he's packed on 10–12 pounds of lean muscle, dramatically boosted his performance, and earned a spot on SWAT. He just re-signed for another year — and he's only getting started.
40 lbs lost · endurance and recovery improved
Tim Segur, a 45-year-old Massachusetts police officer and SWAT team member, joined Pursuit after years of yo-yo dieting and struggling to stay consistent despite his fitness background. In six months, he lost 40 pounds, rebuilt strength, and improved his endurance and recovery while balancing a demanding job and family life. He credits Pursuit's personalized coaching and accountability for helping him regain control of his fitness and show up stronger both on duty and at home.
20 lbs lost in 90 days · chronic pain eliminated
Pat, a 20-year SWAT officer from Virginia, joined Pursuit after years of plateaued progress, injuries, and frustration with other programs. In just 90 days, he dropped 20 pounds, got stronger, faster, and eliminated chronic pain — all while juggling a demanding schedule. He says Pursuit's coaching and custom approach got him results that would've taken years alone.
23 lbs lost in 3 months
Ryan, a Michigan police officer and 20-year lifter, joined Pursuit after hitting a wall with his progress. In just 3 months, he dropped 23 pounds, got stronger, and reignited his consistency. With coaching and accountability, he now feels healthier, more confident, and back in control — both on the job and at home.
15 lbs lost · 2 minutes off his mile
Brian, an active-duty Marine and father of two, was stuck — busy with work, family, and recovering from surgery. He joined Pursuit to improve his PFT run time but struggled with schedule and nutrition. In just 2 months, he lost 15 lbs, cut 2 minutes off his mile, and found lasting structure through a custom plan.
Stronger, mobile and pain-free · 8 months
Alejandro, Army airborne, came in with shoulder, knee and lower-back pain from years of baseball and the service. Eight months in he's stronger, leaner through a cut and now building through a bulk, and moving in ways he says he couldn't a year ago — with feedback on every workout, sometimes within five minutes.
23 lbs lost in 4 months
Joe, a 37-year-old Army vet and busy dad, struggled with consistency and progress despite years of training. Traditional workouts weren't cutting it. In just 4 months with Pursuit, he lost 23 lbs, got stronger, and sharpened his mindset. Personalized coaching and real accountability helped him show up — especially on the hard days.

Training standards & professional credentials
Coaching designed for demanding roles.
Programmed around strength, nutrition, recovery, and real schedules.
Built by coaches who understand the mission-first standard.
Questions, answered
No. The process is designed to work with the reality of your life. Your training can be completed with whatever access you have, whether that is a commercial gym, a station gym, a home setup, or a hotel room.
It depends on the term and the program, so the real number comes on the Game Plan Call, once we know what you actually need. You won't be asked to decide anything before you've heard it.
What it isn't is a $50-a-month app. This is one-on-one coaching: your own coach, training and nutrition built around your shift pattern, weekly accountability, and the people doing it alongside you.
There are several payment plans and term lengths, and we very rarely turn anyone away over money. If it's the right fit, we'll find a way to make it work.
Absolutely. If your partner is part of major financial decisions in your household, include them on the Game Plan Call. The process, investment, and time commitment are discussed clearly.
We respect that. We also only want to work with people who are ready to commit fully to the process. Be clear on this: the Game Plan Call is where you make a decision, not where you take something away to chew on. Indecision and inconsistent action are what have you stuck in the first place. Use the application to tell us where you are, and we will tell you honestly whether Pursuit is the right fit.
Pursuit Health & Performance is built for driven, high performers in law enforcement, fire, EMS and medicine, and the military, who refuse to accept mediocrity in any area of life and are ready to apply that same standard to their body. These are people carrying serious responsibility — long shifts, night work, the ones others rely on — and showing up fully at home.
That is the point. We build training, nutrition, and recovery around the schedule you actually have — overnights, overtime, travel, family — not an ideal one you will never live.
Clients commonly drop 20 to 40+ pounds of body fat, build lean muscle, and see meaningful improvements in energy, confidence, and daily performance. Individual results depend on your consistency, starting point, and commitment.
