Fit For Duty: The Evolution of Code 5 Fitness
Code 5 Fitness originated as a grassroots training program tailored for law enforcement officers. Recognizing the specific physical demands of police, sheriffs, corrections, fire, and military roles, founder Tricia Dong, a former VPD officer, developed a training approach focused on functional movement rather than traditional muscle-centric workouts. This approach ensures participants are “Fit For Duty!” – prepared for the rigorous requirements of their careers from application to active duty.
As word spread about the effective and enjoyable training methods employed by Tricia, Code 5 Fitness classes expanded to include a diverse mix of participants, ranging from sworn members and police/fire applicants to army reservists, athletes, and individuals of all fitness levels. The concept of “Fit for Duty!” now extends beyond law enforcement to encompass personal accountability and readiness in various aspects of life.
Code 5 Fitness caters to individuals serious about training for careers in law enforcement and public safety, offering programs suitable for aspiring applicants, those preparing for fitness assessments, and individuals seeking challenging workouts to maintain peak fitness levels.
