Seattle Police Department Enhances Fitness and Injury Prevention with Volt
/
The Seattle Police Department leverages Volt's personalized training programs to enhance fitness, prevent injuries, and tailor workouts to individual needs, ensuring officers remain capable and ready for duty.
The Challenge of Sustainable Fitness and Injury Prevention
Prior to Volt, members of the Seattle Police Department were engaged in high-intensity functional movements. While this approach helped condition the team, it proved unsustainable in the long run due to inadequate injury prevention, rest, and recovery protocols. Injured team members often faced confusion on how to adjust their prescribed workouts to address their injuries, leading to longer recovery periods. The officer Volt spoke to realized the need for a modern, science-backed platform that could provide individualized training programs tailored to each officer’s needs.
