Fitness Coordinator

CFMWS. A job with purpose. Our 4000+ person strong organization champions a healthy, fun, creative and active lifestyle for Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans and their families. Help us deliver a variety of recreation and fitness programs, offer family support, organize charity events and make sure our members access retail, travel and banking discounts and customized financial services. At Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS), we love what we do. And we live it too.

Where fitness matters!

Supporting a culture of Fitness, working alongside the members of the Canadian Armed Forces and actively preparing them to defend and serve our country could be your path to an extremely fulfilling career.

As part of a dynamic and dedicated team, as a Fitness Coordinator, you will plan, organize, coordinate and assess the delivery of unit/base tactical fitness programs for a highly motivated and professional clientele. Your team will be required to deliver programs entrenched on established employment standards to ensure the members of the Canadian Armed Forces can safely and effectively perform their duties in operations.

Much like the military we so proudly support, we push the envelope of what’s possible. Working with us, you’ll have the opportunity to coordinate programs and services that are grounded in cutting edge scientific research and supported by state-of-the-art technology.
