What is "Fire"?
In trying to get strong we often accentuate certain areas and ignore others. When you consider physical, mental, emotional, and nutritional strength there is often at least one of those that you would rather ignore because it doesn't seem natural to you or involves discomfort. Fire is meant to address one area that is often ignored or pushed to the side - the strength of our spirit. This is the part of our being that is able to connect to what many call a higher being. We work together to explore this inner part using prayer, meditation, and scripture, together with physical activity. A Fire workout will always attempt to tap into our spiritual nature while we workout.
