Should the firefighter or the department pay for the cost to exercise at a local gym? We do not have a gym in either of our 3 stations and some members beleive the department should pay the cost at a local gym. I feel it should be a 50/50 split this way it makes the ff feel like he better go because he's got some of his own cost involved and if the department pays the whole thing then it'll be one of those well I'll start tomorrow and it never happens. What do you all think or does your department have something setup like this? As a department we're kinda mixed and dont know what way to go. So any advise would be great.
I've tried this before with a room we build as a add on and they all wanted a kitchen and its been there for 3 years and we still dont use it, what a waste of money.
