I’d highly recommend taking your PARE/COPAT/etc tests at Blue Line. Running my PARE with Phil was a great experience! Phil was a great motivator, and absolutely knew what he was doing. As long as you’re in good shape and will listen to the instructors cues, tips, and commands, you’ll pass your test. You’ll start running your test about an hour or an hour and a half into the allotted time window, so bring a light, high-carb snack for before you run (especially if your last name is towards the end of the alphabet). Overall a great experience, I plan on running all future fitness tests here.

I have had the pleasure of completing two PARE evaluations in the past two years at Blueline as required by my employer. I have been totally impressed with the testing facility and the process of testing. Both Nikki and Phil provide exceptional and clear instructions prior to and during testing. Both also have a passionate attitude and encourage all participants to accel during the tests. Excellent feedback post testing is also top notch!

I am not the type of person to leave reviews especially any negative, but the Ma’am over the phone was condescending. The situation was that I needed a refund on the study guide because of some desperate personal reasons, She refused to hear me out or be understanding. I really hope that no one else has to experience that sort of customer service. I called the same day during your business hours to sort it out but nobody answered the call, and I just looked over the invoice I got in my email, there is nothing in it regarding refunds, that is why I called.

My experience at Blue Line Fitness was amazing! If you are unsure about your fitness level, just book a fitness session with Phil ,he is a great fitness trainer. I hadn’t been to a gym or focused on physical fitness for over six years. At first, I was completely drained within 10-15 minutes while running . But after taking just three sessions, it took me less than a month to pass my PARE exam. With his tips, guidance, and strategies to improve myself, I was able to pass on my first attempt. Nikki is also such a amazing personality ,she motivates you and truly does her best to make sure you pass the course. She corrects you right away if you are going too fast or too slow, making sure you stay on track. I am really thankful to both Phill and Nikki !they made a huge difference in my journey. If you are lucky as me you might get a pare cough for free:)

This is going to be fairly lengthy sorry about that but I have only good to say about blue line fitness. I started my journey trying to pass the PARE test in March 29, 2025. I ended up with a little over a six minute time. This made me so disappointed I was thoroughly disgusted. WTH. I’ve been working out usually 20 minute bike rides runs swimming, dumbbell weights, and stretches. Also doing a flight of 30 stairs near an outdoor centre where I live. Also, I’ve been making a commitment with staying away from junk foods, burgers, fries, alcohol, and getting into fruits vegetables and usually 30 minute walks every night, but alas, it was not to be for now. It was obvious I needed to do more work on this to pass the PARE test. Then came Phil Moreau Blue Line Fitness Trainer. Phil was very patient and professional and helped me with his wealth of knowledge to build on a consistent habit of getting out and doing more interval training. This all paid off immensely, although it took four more tries to get it done. I wish all the best to fill as he is one of the finest trainers I have ever come across. And to Nikki for your patience with my Stone Age computer skills. You guys are the best love you God bless .

I was in the experienced class for PARE and was done very quickly. I love doing the PARE on Astro Turf. Phil is a great Test Administrator. Very professional.

“Just Leave? Yeah… It’s Not That Simple.” In thi “Just Leave? Yeah… It’s Not That Simple.” 

In this final episode of Season 12, our guest Liz Ortenburger joins us from Las Vegas to share all she knows! Liz has spent years working in the fight against domestic violence—and she’s not afraid to question the system we’ve built around it.

Former CEO of the Girl Scouts of Nevada and now CEO of Safe Nest, Liz joins Sirens, Slammers and Service for a conversation that gets uncomfortable fast.

We dig into what happens when the criminal justice system becomes the default answer, why survivors can’t simply “just leave,” the hidden power of economic abuse, coercive control, digital surveillance, and why true prevention may need to start long before someone ever calls 911.

And for first responders? There’s a hard truth about the emotional toll of responding to the same calls over and over—and what you can actually do when you feel like you can’t fix the situation.

This conversation challenges assumptions, calls out gaps, and gets real about what needs to change.

Because if what we’ve been doing isn’t working… maybe it’s time to ask some uncomfortable questions.

The RCMP PFA isn’t something you want to “figure out” on test day.

If you’re applying to the RCMP, this workshop is designed to help you understand exactly what you’re walking into — and what you need to improve before it matters.

At our RCMP PFA Workshop, we’ll break down the test, work through the movements, identify where you’re losing time or efficiency, and give you practical strategies to help you perform at your best.

💥 You’ll learn:
✔️ What to expect on test day
✔️ How each component is performed
✔️ Common mistakes that can cost you
✔️ How to pace yourself and manage fatigue
✔️ Training strategies to improve your performance
✔️ What “test ready” should actually look like

And most importantly — you get to experience the demands of the test before your official assessment.

At Blue Line Fitness Testing, your warm-up isn’t just a quick jog and a few stretches.

Before your test, we let you PRACTICE. 👊

You’ll have the opportunity to get familiar with the equipment, understand how each station works, learn what’s expected, and get comfortable moving through the course before it’s time to officially test.

And here’s the part that sets us apart:

🚨 We’re the ONLY fitness testing facility in Alberta that gives you this opportunity before your test.

Why? Because we know that confidence matters.

You shouldn’t be standing at the first station wondering:
❓ Where do I go?
❓ How does this equipment work?
❓ What am I supposed to do here?
❓ What’s going to happen next?

You should KNOW.

That’s the Blue Line difference.

Whether you’re testing for your PARE, COPAT, POPAT, APREP or PFA, we want you walking onto that course feeling prepared, confident and ready to work.

This is why we’re not just another place to run a fitness test.

🚒 Think you’re ready for the physical demands of f 🚒 Think you’re ready for the physical demands of firefighting?

🔥 Your VO₂ Max might tell you otherwise.

You can run. You can lift. You can crush your workouts.

But firefighting demands more than looking fit or feeling fit.

Climbing stairs in gear. Carrying heavy loads. Advancing hose lines. Dragging equipment. Performing rescues. Working at high intensity while your heart rate is through the roof.

Your cardiovascular system has to keep delivering when your body is under serious demand.

That’s why VO₂ Max testing matters.

VO₂ Max is a key measure of aerobic fitness and gives you real, measurable data about your ability to use oxygen during exercise.

🚒 Firefighter applicants: Establish your baseline and find out whether your aerobic fitness is where it needs to be before you walk into that fitness test.

🏃‍♀️ Athletes: Measure your performance and identify opportunities to improve.

👮 First responders: Know your numbers and train with purpose.

💪 Fitness enthusiasts: Stop guessing whether your conditioning is improving. Test it.

📊 Data-driven people: Get a baseline. Train. Retest. See what changed.

Because “I think I’m fit” is a feeling.

“Here’s my VO₂ Max” is data.

And sometimes… the number will surprise you. 👀

From Military Police to Entrepreneur: Finding the From Military Police to Entrepreneur: Finding the Next Mission with Julie Austin
Twenty years in the U.S. Army Military Police. Deployments. Command. Emergency services. Then suddenly… retirement.

So what happens when the uniform comes off and you have to figure out who you are—and what the hell comes next?

Retired U.S. Army Military Police officer Julie Austin joins Sirens, Slammers and Service for a raw conversation about life after service, women in the military, proving yourself in male-dominated spaces, and the unexpected reality of jumping from military leadership into entrepreneurship.

We talk about finding your next mission, building businesses, supporting veteran-owned brands, the unglamorous grind behind entrepreneurship, and why giving yourself some damn grace might be one of the hardest—and most important—parts of the transition.

Plus, we get into the question every veteran and first responder eventually has to face:

Who are you when the job that defined you is no longer your job?

And somehow, we even find time for beef jerky, football and barbecue. 😂

Season 12 is almost DONE! Don’t miss this one—and if you’ve been riding with us this season, keep listening, keep sharing, and help us finish Season 12 loud! 🔥

Getting the career is only part of the goal. Beca Getting the career is only part of the goal.

Because this journey isn’t just about passing the test, getting the badge, or landing the job.

It’s about who you become in the process.

The early mornings when you didn’t feel like training.
The workouts that humbled you.
The days you wanted to quit but showed up anyway.
The setbacks that forced you to adjust and keep moving forward.

That’s where the real transformation happens.

You build discipline.
You build resilience.
You build confidence.
You learn how to stay composed when things get hard.
And you learn that you’re capable of pushing through a lot more than you thought.

Because when you eventually walk through those doors and start your career, you’re not just bringing a resume with you.

You’re bringing the person you built along the way.

And THAT is what will carry you through the hard days ahead.

Don’t just train to pass the test.

Train to become the person who can handle what comes after it. 🔥
