Certification: Peer Fitness Trainer Certification

5820 Oberlin Drive, Suite 102, San Diego, CA 92121-3787

Throughout the United States and Canada, the PFT Certificate identifies fire fighters who have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to design and implement fitness programs, improve the wellness and fitness of their departments and assist with the physical training of recruits during challenging entry tests. The role of a Peer Fitness Trainer differs from a Personal Trainer since fire service personnel have very specific needs and an extreme work environment well beyond what the average exerciser will ever face.
