TRAIN LIKE LIVES DEPEND ON YOU—BECAUSE THEY DO
Job-specific training forged from 30 years in the fire service and firefighter performance coaching—built to help you perform at your best when it matters most.
Welcome To Firefighter Peak Performance
Whether you’re preparing for the academy, grinding through shift work, or leading from the front in administration, you carry the weight of responsibility this job demands.
The truth is, most fitness programs fall short for firefighters—they’re not built for the unique physical, mental, and emotional demands of the job. That’s why I created Firefighter Peak Performance. With three decades in the fire service and firefighter performance coaching, I know what it takes to train for the realities of the fireground and the long haul of a career.
My mission is to equip firefighters with the training, tools, and mindset to perform at their best, stay injury-free, and thrive—in every call, every shift, and every season of their career.
Meet Ryan Provencher
I started my fire service journey in 1993 as a volunteer while earning my degree in Exercise Science at Washington State University. Studying biomechanics, kinesiology, and nutrition showed me how deeply fitness impacts not only our performance on the fireground, but also our ability to sustain a long, healthy career.
By 1995, I was a resident firefighter, facilitating fitness testing and writing workout programs for my department. A year later, I was hired full-time as a Firefighter/EMT and became a Peer Fitness Trainer during my first year on the job.
Over the next three decades, I served in multiple capacities—eventually becoming an Operations Battalion Chief—always blending my firefighting experience with exercise science to help firefighters get stronger, move better, and recover faster.
Today, as the founder of Firefighter Peak Performance, I share that system with firefighters across the country—helping them build strength, endurance, and resilience while reducing injury risk and protecting long-term health.
The mission is simple:
Train with purpose. Perform with confidence. Be response-ready—for every call, every shift, every season of your career.
