I am in my 18th year as a professional firefighter (and 23rd year as an EMT) with a local fire agency here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a tremendous amount of passion, heart and enthusiasm for my job. Ask me and I will tell you hands-down that being a firefighter IS the best job in the world.
In 2016, we were lucky enough to partner with Mary Burks, owner and coach, and Danielle Burks, manager and coach, of Lifeworx Fitness. All of our workouts are meant to be done 1 - 2/week in addition to other fitness training. Lifeworx classes are the perfect addition! At Lifeworx, you are a valuable member of a fitness-based community, dedicated to helping each other live longer, healthier and happier lives.
I have an amazing spouse along with two teenage boys and two cute pups who keep me on my toes. The sports I enjoy are softball, ice hockey and trail running. Our cadre would not be complete without our past Blaze athletes and current firefighters from fire departments across the Bay Area. Born and raised in San Jose, I still love the Bay Area.
Contact us to set up a 1 hour no cost intake session where Shay will review your goals and go over membership options and pricing. Because we customize your training plan to you, we have flexible hours, including evenings and weekends. Training plans, membership options and costs are reviewed during the no cost intake session.
The athlete experience at Blaze of Glory Fitness includes a diverse range of training from hands on equipment work to resume assistance to oral board preparation. Don't take our word for it. As a late-30s woman who decided to make a career switch to firefighting, I knew I had my work cut out for me physically.

This review is far overdue! I have been an athlete with Blaze for over a year now and seriously, it was the best decision for me! Prior to joining Blaze, I attended regular boot camps and spin classes weekly. I thought I was in decent shape… and then I had my first Blaze workout. Do not get me wrong I am not trying to discourage anyone, I am trying to encourage everyone who wants to go into the fire service. It was great, it was hard but most of all it showed me that I have work to put in and that they are there to help me every step (literally. And not just in my workouts. They are there to

I’ve never entrusted myself into something/someone as I have done here at Blaze. The coaches are God-sent, amazing, and truly care about your individual success. I am so thankful that I found Blaze of Glory Fitness while I was in a Pre-Service Fire Academy. I got the extra help that I needed and all of the right coaching for the job. The coaches here push you physically and mentally. And even through tears in your eyes, it is a beautiful experience to see the extraordinary things your body is capable of. Not only are these peeps your coaches, they are also your mentors and your biggest cheerleaders
