Posted 10 months ago I was appointed the fire department wellness coordinator in a department that....well...is not to excited to get in shape. We have some good cardio equipment, but the only budget money the city gives me goes toward maintenance. Does anybody know of any grants or other ways to aquire some weight lifting epuiptment? Also does anyone have any insite into how to motivate a fire department into becoming healthy? |

| Posted 8 months ago My only expierence with grant writing was for exercise equipment but was rejected. I know they are out there to get however. We get 50% off at a gym but only a couple of us take advantage of it. Good luck on the motivation. Maybe hire a "hottie" to motivate the department. |

| Posted 8 months ago You could put in the paper that you are looking for a donation of good exercise equipment. Most people would like to help out. Good luck on the motivation. You cant lead a thirsty horse toward water. |
