Health-and-Fitness online information.

AFAA recently conducted three Pacific Air Force (PACAF) fitness tours. The first took place at United States Air Force Bases in Okinawa, Misawa, and Yokota, Japan, as well as Osan, Korea. The second included Andersen Air Force Base (AFB), Guam, and Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Recently, AFAA completed the third at Elmendorf and Eielsen Air Force Bases in Alaska. Each tour consisted of the Primary Group Exercise Certification as well as Indoor Cycling, Resistance Training and Mat Science I workshops. Active duty and retired military personnel, military dependents, Department of Defense employees, fitness center as well as health and wellness center staff participated in the courses.

In scheduling the classes, PACAF Headquarters Athletic Manager Bob George's goals were to ensure PACAF military fitness center personnel remain current with the fitness industry and promote smart training principles. As a result, the group exercise programs offered a variety of classes instructed by certified fitness professionals and, most importantly, physical fitness within the United States Air Force was supported.

AFAA's PACAF Tour Certification Specialists Monica Garber and Lisa Hamlin commented instructing members of the United States Air Force was an opportunity of a lifetime. AFAA was well received, the participants eager to learn and the classes highly successful.

For over two decades, AFAA has supported the United States military forces by providing fitness education on-board military installations worldwide. AFAA offers up to a 25 percent discount to active duty and retired military members as well as their dependents when courses are scheduled on military installations. In addition, Department of Defense employees currently employed at a hosting military installation are eligible to receive the discount.
