Master Fitness Trainer. A Master Fitness Trainer (MFT) is a Soldier who has completed either
the four-week active-component, two week reserve-component, or U.S. Military Academy’s MFT
course work. Although called “masters,” MFTs are simply Soldiers who know about all aspects of
physical fitness training and how Soldiers’ bodies function. Most importantly, since MFTs are
taught to design individual and unit programs, they should be used by commanders as special
staff assistants for this purpose.
