Today's guest is Alex Gapper of Pumps and Plates

Alex is a firefighter and online fitness coach. We discuss firefighter health and fitness, what firefighters are up against when it comes to managing the challenges of the job and what we can do about it.

Alex also talks us through the mistakes we make when it comes to our fitness and what we need to be doing to build healthy foundations and stay fit as we move through our careers and years in the job.

We also discuss watch culture and station life, and what it’s like trying to hold down a fitness routine and good nutrition without taking yourself too seriously.
