TACFIT Fire Fighter: First Alarm

In 2009, we facilitated the first “TACFIT Challenge” for firefighters in Whatcom County. Compliance was measured on a ten-point scale. Completing the daily workout was worth four points and eating healthy meals throughout the day was worth six points. A perfect day was worth ten points total. Points were subtracted for missing workouts, consuming foods or beverages with a high sugar content, alcoholic beverages, etc. The goal was to average eight points per day over an eight-day period (eighty percent compliance).
