Goals
Our goal is to prepare our soldiers for the physical demands of our missions. Our activities provide our soldiers with the tools to create a fitness routine of their own. Through our fitness program we strive for:
- Better mission readiness
- Incorporation of a fitness routine in our soldiers’ daily lives
- Provide a fun environment to socialize with our fellow soldiers
- Enhance our individual physical capabilities

Announcements: This week the PT Group is changing things up. There will be no Saturday workout or Sunday hike. Instead, we will meet at Big Creek in Roswell on Sunday afternoon. There will be two activities. The first is a mountain bike ride that will start at 1430. Afterward a total body workout will be offered in the paved portion of the park, starting at 1600. The trails offer rides for all levels but an all terrain bike is required. Big Creek is located at: 1600 Old Alabama Rd If you want to ride but do not have a bike let me know and I may be able to find one you can barrow. Please let me know if you plan to attend, and contact me if you have any questions. PFC Bill Reiner

there can be many dangers and physical stamina should not be one. We strive to provide a professional service to the State of Georgia without becoming a liability. We believe fitness can improve the service we provide.
Policies
- Do not start a fitness routine until consulting your physician.
- Push yourself to do as much as you can without injury. Injuries can happen so if you feel discomfort, STOP. Pain is your body’s way of saying something is wrong. While soreness is common after a workout, this is different than the pain during a workout.
- Always have a workout buddy. This is a person around your fitness level, who can provide motivation, and most importantly response if an injury occurs.
- The coordinator has the authority to stop training and remove an individual if they deem it necessary.
Safety Statement
There are inherent risks of physical activity. It is your responsibility to know your limits. Most exercises can be modified to each individual’s need, but it is your responsibility to ask how. Individuals should also be aware of their surroundings. Exercises performed outside have added risks of weather, animals, and other natural threats. Dress appropriately for the weather and given activity, and always have enough water. We will look after one another, but you are responsible for yourself first and foremost.
