Medic Up
Nine-month strength and conditioning program designed by and for the current and future Paramedic.
-
Many paramedic students struggle with the physical fitness preparation to pass their lift tests and physical tests required for employment simply due to not taking their physical training as seriously as their academic training.
Which is just as important to study for, but often pushed aside until it becomes a problem.
This leaves them with a failing grade, or not getting their dream job.
Sounds terrible, right?
It's not easy to get into the gym several times per week when you’re overwhelmed with other high-energy and attention-demanding courses.
I get it, because I’ve been there during my Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) program
I was on the brink of failing the first semester in 2016 due to a lack of strength.
Was that ever a wake-up call for me.
This is the program I wish I had access to in 2016 or earlier when I knew Paramedicine was the career I wanted.
This is why I created Medic Up - to fill the gap that leaves students unsuccessful in their lift tests every single year.
To alleviate the worry of losing THOUSANDS of dollars on the service’s required physical test and the opportunity cost of not securing a job.
But, this won’t be you…
Consider Medic Up tutoring for your physical fitness exams and eventually hiring tests.
This program is created from boots-on-the-ground Paramedic experience compiled into job-related fitness which makes me confident you will pass your physical test with ease if completed as prescribed.
For working Paramedics returning to their regular duties after extended leave - you will need to pass the same physical test - Medic Up would be a perfect training program to build your confidence before returning to the workplace.
How does Medic Up work?
As a student, the program is ideally started in late summer/early fall, and the last 3 months will be your peak strength phase, which will be in the spring months when lift tests for school and Paramedic services typically are held
When you sign-up, you’ll receive a welcome email with an invitation to make an account through our coaching software, True Coach
This is where all of your workouts will be and where you’ll have the ability to message me with any questions
You will first be assigned an intro day that includes helpful videos and pertinent details to start your new program on the right foot. Each week, you will have four workouts assigned
Three days will be your main lifts and conditioning
The last day will be mobility-focused and conditioning
I will provide feedback on any videos you attach to your exercise and encourage you to film most of your lifts at the beginning for your own self-awareness and how you’re matching the demo video
You will need access to a gym, which most Colleges have gym memberships included with their tuition
The program itself is progressive from phase to phase - meaning we will start slow and light, building each month, and peaking in strength at the time of your test
Each workout will have a coach’s note to read before you start your workout to have an idea of what to expect for that specific day
I’m in! But what experience do I need?
Barbell training experience is a plus, but if you don't have it, that's ok! Since you’ll receive feedback if needed through your weekly review to make sure you’re moving safely.
The Barbell Intro package
This one is for our locals in Ottawa.
Three in-person sessions to review and learn the basics of: squatting, deadlifting, pressing, benching with the barbell (and dumbbell review if required), lifting with a prescribed tempo, working with RPE, and much more
These will set you up for success during the program and we can review other exercises you’re having difficulty with as well.
Price for three sessions: $240 ($80/hr; typically $90/hr)
Separate prices for groups will be made as requested depending on the number of people interested (for garage sessions).
If interested, send an email to: hello@fitnessf1rst.ca
Have any more questions? Feel free to send an email and I’d love to chat with you.
Ready to sign up? HECK YES YOU ARE! Be proud of yourself for taking that initiative and not waiting before it’s too late to take this subject seriously.
Enter your info and let’s get started.
Remember, you can cancel at any time by emailing us before your next payment is made.
