St. Tammany Fire Protection District #12 partners with the West St. Tammany YMCA. On any given day you will see the District #12 Fire Fighters working out at the YMCA. These gentlemen are dedicated to being the best that they can be.
Brett Kloor explains: “Well everyone knows that firemen love to work out. The firemen of 9/11 climbed the 110 story Twin Towers, so as a tribute to them, I like to get in my gear and work out. There are not many towers 110 stories here in Covington, but the Stairmaster is the next best thing. Most of my training is weight training with the cardio every now and then, but at least twice a year, I like to work out in my gear on the Stairmaster. Since the Stairmaster is different than actual stairs, I set goals like climbing 120 – 130 stories or adding a weighted vest just to change it up. It’s a dedication to my brothers and heroes of 9/11. They are my Heroes!”
