There is no single best way to use Peer Fitness Trainers (PFTs) within a department; but their potential influence can extend far beyond fitness testing and recruit training. As advocates for wellness and fitness they stand to influence the attitudes, choices, actions and behaviors of their peers provided that they are supported. This workshop will overview steps to assist with the selection process, outline 10 roles that PFTs (or F2T Ambassadors) can play, and describe specific strategies to support these champions in their role.
A case example will be used to illustrate how F2T Ambassadors (FPS, PFT and WFA) can be used to support the implementation and maintenance of a wellness-fitness program.
