The Fit To Thrive (F2T) program supports the training and mentorship of three types of program ambassadors – the Fitness-Performance Specialist (FPS), the Peer Fitness Trainer (PFT), and the Wellness-Fitness Ambassador (WFA). Each designation is recognized with an IAFF F2T certificate once a specific level of training and education has been achieved. Certified F2T members must also meet specific continuing education credit (CEC) and F2T Challenge requirements to maintain their designation and F2T membership. Further information on the F2T Program can be found by visiting the FAQ HERE.

Fit To Thrive Challenges
F2T Challenges are designed to support the on-going growth and development of all F2T members. They involve the completion of a practical activity that relies on the specific skills associated with 1 of 10 roles that may be assumed by F2T members. Specific details on each challenge can be found at the bottom of this page. Completed F2T Challenges must be submitted as part of the renewal process (2 for FPS, 1 for PFT and WFA). Details on Challenge submission will be shared in the near future.

Fit To Thrive Community
F2T strives to build a community of wellness and fitness ambassadors across the United States and Canada. Sharing the accomplishments of individuals and departments is one way the F2T program aims to build that community. Upon submission of your Challenge, you will be asked if you would be willing to share it with the F2T community and be profiled as an individual on the F2T community webpage.
