It’s time to get moving by signing up for Fitness Warriors, a program that trains Richmond residents to become fitness instructors for local communities with high rates of obesity. Sponsored by Sports Backers and the Richmond City Health District, Fitness Warriors trainees learn the basics of fitness instruction and coaching, develop leadership skills, and are taught multiple exercise class styles.

The application deadline is Nov. 5 and training begins in January 2018. An informational session is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, via streaming on Facebook Live (Facebook.com/RVAFitnessWarriors).
