FIT Trainers

Certified FIT Trainers conduct volunteer training sessions to certify facilitators to lead FIT groups. Contact our office at 941.799.4975 or email us at fit@100hour.org for details. Several of the trainers are willing to travel but pay their own expenses and receive no funds from FIT for their services. Honorariums for them from the host institutions are appreciated but not expected.
