FitNation On the Land!
I·SPARC is excited to share that the FitNation leader training forum is back in action, and we are taking it “On the Land”!
This spring, 12 selected applicants from across British Columbia will be trained to become leaders of a community-based physical activity program through 3 days of immersive, land-based learning in nature, guided by Indigenous teachings. This supportive learning environment centres connection, wellness, and Indigenous culture.
The selected participants will build the confidence and practical skills needed to bring people together through movement and lead a meaningful 8-week physical activity program in their community.
The FitNation Leader Training Agenda includes:
- Instruction on 100+ exercises, adaptable to participant abilities
- Resistance, functional, & cardio training
- Traditional healing, sweat lodge, & ceremony
- Smudging and cedar brushing
- Drumming and song
- Medicine Walk
- Teachings by Elder Gerry Oleman
- Mentorship, workout plans + more!
All trained leaders are required to deliver an 8-week FitNation program for their community between May – July, 2026 as part of their official completion.
FitNation programs continue to be successful in multiple community settings:
- K-12 Classrooms
- Post-Secondary Gathering Places
- Friendship Centres
- Recreation Centres
- Elders Groups
- Addictions & Healing Spaces
- Meeting Rooms, Hallways, and Anywhere Outdoors
Wherever you can imagine a FitNation program, we can help you make it happen!
