- Command Fitness Leaders (CFLs) play an integral part in the overall fitness and readiness of Sailors. CFLs are not only responsible for conducting the bi-annual Preventive Health Assessment (PFA) for their commands, but also provide exercise programming and guidance throughout the year to ensure the members of their command maintain physical readiness.
- All CFLs must be trained and certified through the five-day Command Fitness Leader Certification Course, which covers the administrative actions and duties of a CFL, basic exercise physiology and nutrition principles and basic PRIMS training, as well as intense daily gym sessions teaching various methods for exercise programming.
- Upon the conclusion of this course, CFLs will have the skills, education and motivation to lead the way in establishing and maintaining a culture of fitness for their command and the United States Navy.
- Within 3 months of assignment as CFL, CFLs must complete OPNAV approved 5-day CFL certification course. To sign up, CFLs must fill out all requested information on the CNIC application and include a copy of their CPR card, CO’s appointment letter of designation, and PRT results from PRIMS.
Important Notice: The cardiovascular assessment of the PRT will include the 1.5 mile run/walk only (no swim, treadmill or bike will be substituted). If you do not meet the BCA requirement for a CFL and do not score an overall of Excellent or higher on the PRT you will be removed from the course. No Exceptions.
