Wellness/Fitness Program. The Wellness-Fitness Program is designed to follow the directives of the IAFF- IAFC Wellness-Fitness Initiative. To this end, the Department and Union jointly strive to achieve the goals as outlined in the initiative.
Wellness/Fitness Program. Purpose:
(a) To provide a program for all Union employees to improve as needed or maintain health and define other fitness related items.
(b) To develop a mandatory overall wellness/fitness system to maintain the physical capabilities of all Union employees. All wellness/fitness programs should include the following key elements: • Medical and fitness evaluations that are kept confidential, secure and separate from the employee’s department or City personnel file. • Physical fitness and wellness programs are educational and not punitive. • Performance testing that promotes progressive wellness improvement. • All personnel of all ranks committed to a positive individualized wellness/fitness program.

The Primary function is to create and implement a wellness/fitness program that creates a healthier firefighter who will be able to work at his/her job with a minimal amount of cardiovascular, muscular and emotional stress or injury throughout his/her career. The Secondary function, although also of great importance, will be to reduce illness and injury. Adherence to these objectives will ultimately reduce costs to The City of Lake Forest. Each member of the bargaining unit is required to participate in fitness training each assigned work day. The department has established the times between 1500 to 1600 hours as the workout window. Should calls preclude this time, or the workout not be completed within the Shift Commanders designated time frame, the workout may have to be pushed to after 1600 hours. A chief officer may alter the workout time, prior to 1600, for extenuating circumstances to accommodate the workout schedule. No member of the bargaining unit should be working out more than 90 minutes per 24 hour shift. The shift commander shall recognize fitness as a priority in the daily duties and make every effort in coordinating the daily activities and training to include the required fitness training within the prescribed timeframe. The personnel will also be allowed time to shower and clean up after the exercising has been completed if needed. Prior to beginning a fitness-training program, it is recommended that each bargaining unit member have a current fitness assessment as outlined by the department. If the employee chooses to not have an additional physical, they will follow the physical guidelines set forth by the City in Administrative Directive 2-10. All members of the bargaining ...
