PERSONS REPORTED PROGRAMME

Persons Reported (PR) is a community-driven, rolling programme built specifically for UK Firefighters. 

Built around the realities of the job, it runs on an 8-day schedule designed to align with the most common firefighter shift pattern of 4 On-4 Off. This structure ensures your training works with your schedule, rather than fighting against it.

Created by firefighters, for firefighters, the programme focuses on what actually matters: developing and maintaining the physical qualities required to perform when lives are at stake, whilst developing the resilience to sustain it over a long career.

Sessions are purposeful, efficient, and adaptable, allowing you to train effectively on shift, and push progression when you’re off. 

The aim is simple: keep you confident, capable, and ready to perform when you’re needed most.

who is this for?

Persons Reported is built specifically for serving UK Firefighters, with the goal of developing and optimising role-specific physical performance.

Do I need to be super fit to follow this programme?

Exercise prescription is based on an initial Firefighter Onboarding Performance Review (FOPR) and reinforced through regular embedded testing, which, combined with subjective measures such as Reps in Reserve (RIR) and Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), ensure your training intensity is tailored to your current performance level.

You should already be confident with fundamental movement patterns such as the squat, hinge, lunge, and press. Whilst demo videos are provided, if you’ve had no prior exposure to structured strength and conditioning, we recommend working with an in-person coach first to build competence in these movements.

What is the structure of the programme?

  • Community-driven, rolling programming
  • Built around an 8-day cycle to align with the most common firefighter shift pattern (4 on / 4 off)
  • 6 structured sessions developing operational strength, endurance, and resilience
  • A mix of higher and lower intensity sessions to manage fatigue and support consistent progress
  • 20–90 minute sessions dependant on intent

HOW WILL I RECEIVE THE PROGRAMME?

Programming is provided though the TeamBuildr platform, available through desktop, iOS and android app. Alongside exercise demonstration, metric tracking and logging of activity, the app provides community features including a leader board, group chats and feed page.

How am I supported through the programme?
