Train Smarter. Breathe Stronger. Perform Under Pressure.
Fire Service Performance Assessment (FSPA) with Alexey Molchanov & Sonya McVay
Unbreakable Breath. Unmatched Resilience.
Train breath, movement, and decision-making speed for the realities of fire-ground work.
Introduction
FSPA fuses elite freediving breathing techniques with duty-specific movement to build calmer breathing, smarter SCBA air use, and stronger, more resilient bodies under gear.
Created by 39x world record freediver Alexey Molchanov and fire service performance specialist Sonya McVay of The Six, FSPA transforms proven breath and movement science into practical tools for your next shift.
Who It’s For
Frontline firefighters who want breath and movement skills that transfer directly to the job.
Training water rescue/recovery officers & wellness teams aiming to reduce injuries and time-loss claims.
Breath coaches applying tolerance work in tactical environments.
Departments needing structured assessments to identify readiness gaps.
Is This You?
- Running out of air too quickly in SCBA tasks?
- Crew composure and decision-making break down under stress?
- Generic training leaves you gassed but not job-ready?
- Injury, downtime, and compensation claims cost your department valuable time?
FSPA gives you reproducible tools to address these realities.
What You’ll Gain
Manage breath and preserve air under load—make better decisions when it matters most.
Build trunk stability and postural alignment—protect your lumbar spine in gear.
Increase CO₂ tolerance and O₂ efficiency—complete tasks with less fatigue.
Move with cleaner mechanics—hose handling, stair climbs, victim carries.
Identify and correct weaknesses that increase injury risk.
