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. |
