F2T 308 – Practical Experiences Leading the Operations of Peer Fitness Teams

Webinar Overview & Objectives

Departments across the United States and Canada rely on Peer Fitness Trainers (PFT) to implement various components of their wellness and fitness programs. The exact roles undertaken by PFTs can vary from department to department depending on, among other things, program objectives, available resources, and support from union and administrative leaders.

A common thread, however, is that PFTs are most often part of a team of other peer trainers in their department. How do peer fitness trainers organize themselves to tackle a given program objective? Do PFT teams need a designated leader, and if so, who is best suited for the role? What sort of processes, systems and tools do teams rely on to implement their program’s activities?

In this webinar, the F2T Team will sit down with two F2T instructors, Luke Pedersen, and Michael Phillips, to answer these, and other questions related to PFT teams. The objective of this webinar is to provide participants a practical, boots on the ground perspective on the operations of PFT teams from fellow peers on the forefront of implementation in their department.
