Episode Details

Just in time for New Years... an episode focused on not only building, training, and elevating your body- but RESILIENCE- aka building, training, and elevating your mind.  Easier said than done- and cookie cutter programs don't work for the masses- ESPECIALLY first responders.  How do you adapt programs when the week's schedule gets turned upside down with staying late, getting called in for court, and incident stress through the roof?

Police officer Deven Kennedy returns to the show, specifically focused on highlighting his services in fitness coaching via Resilience Through Fitness (RTF).  Listen for more of Deven's story and background in Ep. 33.
--
Growing up on the shores of rural Prince Edward Island in a policing family, Deven always knew he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and serve the community he loved. 

After successfully graduating from the Atlantic Police Academy in 2012, he was hired by a Police Service in Nova Scotia in 2013. 

On June 12th, 2022, he was involved in a traumatic incident on duty resulting in both physical and psychological injuries. A career in policing was everything he had worked towards and the incident left him feeling a loss of purpose.

Through his recovery, he identified a need in the First Responder world for physical fitness specifically designed for each individual client, specific to their job titles and unique needs. 

This is where Resilience Through Fitness Inc. was born! Starting at his local CrossFit Gym, RTF Inc. has now grown to service clients across Canada with personalized 1-on-1 whole body approach incorporating fitness and nutrition coaching.
