Who We Are
The American Fire Service is often referred to as a “Brotherhood”. We believe this unbreakable bond can only be forged through a shared suffering, daily drilling, and subscribing to an ethos that “Hard Work Fixes Everything”. Therefore our bond is earned alongside one another, where nothing of value comes without effort, and failure is critical to our success. In essence, our “Brotherhood” is forged in training. We are a Brotherhood in Training.
- Eric & Frank have designed training programs for active and aspiring Firefighters, LEO, Military, and Fire Recruit Academies
- Frank has been a Firefighter for the City of Nampa (ID) for the past 19 years and a promoted Captain for the past 12
- Eric joined the American Fire Service in 2016 after a successful career as Professional Snowboarder, playing collegiate Ice Hockey, and is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist

The Health of the American Fire Service
The health and wellness of the American Fire Service is under siege. A lack of fitness, poor nutrition, sleep deprivation, and exposures to deadly carcinogens are leaving our firefighters at a much greater risk of injury and death than many other occupations. Our goal is to provide firefighters with the necessary skill sets, programming, and knowledge to increase their fireground performance whether they are new to the fire service or a seasoned vet.

Physiology of Firefighting
Studies show heart rates of firefighters during interior structural firefighting operations between 164-183 beats per minute.
Oxygen consumption may reach 85-95% of maximum (VO2max) for brief periods. Based on studies by Barbara Ainsworth of the U of South Carolina, firefighters can expend energy at a level of 12 METs while conducting firefighter operations. This is the same level of energy expenditure seen in Navy SEALs and Professional Boxers.

Why There's Nothing Quite Like Brotherhood In Training?
Passion + Experience + Technology = High Performance Firefighters
In the last six years, I have trained with Eric Haskins and Frank Beauvais dozens (if not hundreds) of times, both in the gym and on the training grounds. Eric and Frank possess an unparalleled combination of passion, education, and experience in both firefighting and fitness. This alone makes them notable, but what sets Brotherhood in Training apart is their complete lack of ego. Their entire focus is on building healthy, high-performance firefighters. Simply put: There is nobody I would trust more highly with training and programming than Brotherhood in Training.
Brotherhood in training delivered a rock-solid program that elevated the work capacity of our firefighters, decreased the number of training-related injuries, and added another level of teamwork to our Recruit Academy. Frank and Eric are standard-bearers in the functional fitness movement. They truly understand what it means to be an industrial athlete and how to increase career longevity.
Physical fitness is imperative to getting a job and being successful in the fire service. Together Eric and Frank have years of experience in both fire and fitness. Don’t be the weak link and do not lose your chance at getting the job because you are out of shape. Eric and Frank have your back. With their guidance you WILL be successful.
Eric is a great motivator. He understands proper movement patterns and how to push athletes beyond their own mental barriers. Eric has helped me numerous times over my career whether rehabbing from an injury or getting me to my peak fitness.
