Marines to Add Athletic Trainers, Fitness Instructors

Jason Scott Headshot

The Marine Corps is reportedly set to bring on additional athletic trainers and fitness instructors as it seeks to push physical standards beyond the standard physical fitness test.

The Marine Corps Times reports that athletic trainers and fitness instructors, who are seen as both advocates for and overseers of the new physical fitness standards, have not been employed within the corps at full capacity, in part due to COVID-19. Now, the Corps is expected to have a full contingent of both athletic trainers and fitness instructors by mid-2023. That would entail increasing the number of athletic trainers throughout the force from 35 to 66, and adding 120 force fitness instructors in the next two years, bringing the total number to 900, while also maintaining current positions.
