SMYRNA, Tenn. — A new training camp starts this weekend in Smyrna that is designed to help people slim down and get strong enough to pass the Army’s physical fitness requirements.
The Warrior Fit Camp at the National Guard Training Center that started Saturday is a crash course in fitness and nutrition for 25 National Guard enlistees who failed a previous fitness test. The course is designed to help them shape up before they are sent to boot camp.
Staff Sgt. Ken Weichert of the Army National Guard created the camp because he’s seen people applying for military service become more “challenged with the waistline.”
Weichert said the camp is the pilot for a larger program to be rolled out by the Army across the country in a year.
