What is the InTraining program.
SportMedBC initiated the first 10K RunWalk program in 1996 in partnership with The Vancouver Sun as the InTraining program. As SportMedBC began to expand, adding multiple training programs to join the infamous RunWalk programs; the InTraining program was officially created.
Regarded as the best in class, the SMBC InTraining programs and services have been developed by Canada’s leading experts in Sport Medicine and built on the most advanced applied expertise in Sport Science. The result is a comprehensive, proven approach to Sport Training, spanning everything from injury prevention, injury treatment, health wellness, to sport nutrition.

What roles are available within the InTraining Programs?
InTraining Coaches:
InTraining Coaches are the heart of the InTraining Programs. They serve as the primary point of contact for participants and play a crucial role in delivering, maintaining, and ensuring the consistency of the program. Each InTraining Coach is assigned to a specific training location to lead and implement the SportMedBC InTraining Programs. These coaches are well-versed in health, fitness, leadership, and organization, helping participants achieve their fitness goals safely and effectively.
Beyond leading workouts, InTraining Coaches are responsible for planning training routes, recruiting volunteer leaders/sweeps, capturing group moments through photos, and providing continuous motivation and encouragement. Their enthusiasm drives participants to reach new milestones and fosters a supportive community atmosphere.
Volunteer Leaders/Sweeps:
Volunteer Leaders/Sweeps are essential to the success of the InTraining Programs. Working alongside the InTraining Coach, they provide additional support, motivation, and guidance to participants. Volunteer Leaders/Sweeps are experienced, passionate about their sport.
Their key responsibility is to ensure that groups remain cohesive during training sessions. By keeping an eye on pacing and regularly regrouping participants, Volunteer Leaders help create an inclusive environment that respects individual goals and abilities.
COMMITMENT:
To maintain the integrity and success of the InTraining Programs, both InTraining Coaches and Volunteer Leaders/Sweeps are expected to commit to attending every session throughout the program’s duration. Consistent leadership ensures participants receive the best possible experience and guidance.
FITNESS:
All InTraining Coaches and Volunteer Leaders/Sweeps should maintain a regular exercise routine in the weeks leading up to the start of the clinics. Staying active ensures they can effectively lead and support participants during workouts.

To fully engage with and support participants, InTraining Coaches and Volunteer Leaders/Sweeps should be injury-free throughout the program.
AGREEMENT:
As a provincially funded, not-for-profit organization, SportMedBC adheres to strict screening processes under the Criminal Records Review Act and Sport Safe. All applicants must complete the required screening before participating in leadership roles.
