THE FIREFIGHTER
WALK STARTS HERE

"Health & Wellness must shift from being 'just talk' to the 'firefighter walk.'"

Shift Strong was founded by Ladedrick A. Phillips — an active firefighter at Dallas Fire & Rescue Station 22, certified personal trainer, EMT, Paramedic, and soon-to-be Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.

His passion is transforming how first responders approach their own health — building a culture where the strongest, most agile firefighters are also the healthiest members of their community.
