  1. Good afternoon all! I am again raising money for the Last Call Foundation in Memory of Fallen Firefighter Michael Kennedy and running in the 2021 Boston Marathon! After last years marathon being canceled due to the pandemic, the marathon is now back on! This foundation was founded in honor of Boston FF Michael Kennedy who died in the line of duty, along with Lt. Ed Walsh, on March 26th, 2014. All the money raised goes to help firefighters get the much needed funding they need for equipment. As we all know, budgets are stretched thin and first responders have been pushed to their limits over the last year and a half. The need for more PPE, decontamination equipment and necessary tools can be tough to come by in the age of dwindling budgets. Please follow the link below and donate and help me reach my goal of helping firefighters. All money goes directly to the foundation. Stay strong stay safe!

  2. Good afternoon everyone, My name is Tim Collins and I am a firefighter here in Westchester. This April, I will be running in the 2020 Boston Marathon for the Last Call Foundation. This charity was founded by the mother of Boston FF Michael Kennedy who perished in the Back Bay Fire on March 26th, 2014. This foundation raises money for tools, equipment and much needed funding for Cancer research for firefighters. Most notably, they fitted almost every single firehouse in the city of Boston with gear extractors to help clean their gear after a fire. As you all are aware, firefighters are 60% more likely to develop Cancer than the general population. Please take the time to look at the GoFundMe page that has been set up and help get much needed funding for firefighters! Thank you all for your time and support!

  3. Good evening everyone, I will be hosting a fundraiser event at The Lazy Boy Saloon on April 4th, 2020 from 3pm-5pm. It will be a $40 open bar and $10 of your purchase goes straight to the foundation! Come out support firefighters with the local firefighter community! Flyer2.docx
  4. Good morning guys, I wanted to reach out to everyone and offer a FREE Firefighter Fitness Program to those who are preparing for the upcoming Westchester/CT CPATs that are coming up. The program is designed to prepare the individual for the CPAT test. Since the test is designed to simulate fire ground tasks, it will help all firefighters. Send me an email at floorabovefitness@gmail.com and I can send you the pdf of the program. I'm also available to give fitness and nutrition presentations to your departments. If you have any questions on what exercises to do, how to improve fitness, or how to improve nutrition, email me. Best of luck to those taking the CPAT in the next few weeks. Stay strong stay safe! Tim
  5. Good morning everyone, My name is Tim Collins and I am a career firefighter here in Westchester County. I am also a certified Personal Trainer who specializes in functional fitness for firefighters and other First Responders. As you may know, most firefighting related deaths are due to cardiovascular issues. I am passionate about lowering that number in any manner I can. I would like to offer a free fitness consultation to your department to help your members lower their risk of a cardiac event. The consultation would consist of meeting with you and discussing what fitness equipment you have available, and a tour of your firehouse/police precinct to see what space is available. Next, I would design a workout program based on your department's capabilities and workload demands to help your members improve their abilities and proficiency in regards to physical fitness on the fire ground. Please contact me via cell phone at (914) 329-8406 or email at floorabovefitness@gmail.com. You and your members can also view my Facebook or Instagram pages by searching “Floor Above Fitness” to see daily firefighter fitness workouts. I have reached to quite a few departments already, but I figured this would be the best spot to let people know about the services I provide. I work with ALL First Responders. I have coached people through the CPAT and NYPD JST. I was formerly a police officer in the Bronx for over 3 years. If you or anyone you know is applying to upcoming tests (CPAT/JST/PFT), send my info to them. Though it may seem like I am specifically for firefighters, all 3 services are facing issues of cardiovascular problems, healthy eating, and lack of physical fitness. I have already worked with the Ardsley Fire Department and they have seen great results! I have designed a 10 Week Workout Program specifically for the CPAT and do offer personal training sessions. If you are interested, email me and we can talk. If you guys have any questions on fitness, eating habits, or anything text/call/email. Or if you just want free workouts to do at work, they are posted daily on Facebook and Instagram, just search "Floor Above Fitness". Stay safe everyone and Happy New Year, Tim Colins 914-329-8406 floorabovefitness@gmail.com
