Fit Cops: Rockaway Dad, Fairview Police Chief Is His Own Toughest Critic It's 5 a.m. at HackensackUMC Fitness and Wellness Center and the flat-brimmed hat pulled over Martin Kahn's head is dark as the sky outside. "BEAST," the hat says. Because for the next two hours, that is what the Rockaway dad and Fairview police chief will become. With his duffel bag slung over one shoulder and AirPods in his ears, Kahn makes his way from the treadmill to the weights at the Maywood gym off Route 17. He slides his bag off his shoulder and turns up the volume on his phone. He picks up a pair of 100-pound dumbbells and locks eyes with his toughest critic in the room: himsel…

Fit Cops: Paramus Deputy Chief Hooked On Racing For Remedies Fit Cops: Paramus Deputy Chief Hooked On Racing For Remedies
Fit Cops: Paramus Deputy Chief Hooked On Racing For Remedies PARAMUS, N.J. -- Standing at the starting line of his very first obstacle course in 2014, everything seems to be moving in slow motion for Paramus Deputy Chief Robert Guidetti.

And he did, for just over three miles -- with those who can for those who cannot. That Muck Run four years ago at the Turtleback Zoo in West Orange honored those fighting or who have succumbed to multiple sclerosis. Four …
