What are the unit fitness training NCO requirements?

What are the requirements for a commander to designate a unit fitness training NCO (AR 600-9 para. 2-18)? Where can I reference these requirements?

This is going to lead into Appendix B (AR 600-9), B-1b., "Individuals taking the measurements will be designated unit fitness trainers, certified master fitness trainers, and/or trained in body circumference methodology, as specified in para. 2-18c." Does this mean a 1SG has to be trained by a unit fitness trainer or certified master fitness trainer to assess body fat composition?

I searched through the instructions I could find relative to this and it appears there isn't a course that unit fitness training NCOs are required to take? If there is, it isn't linked to the instruction in any way.

For the Navy we have a CFL (Command Fitness Leader) course that must be completed, and it is indicated in our PRT/BCA instruction. I am surprised the Army doesn't or doesn't have it annotated.

I had to appoint six fitness NCOs and the criteria I used was the same criteria for MFT, 90 points on each event because my intent is to send them to the MF training. I have appointed them in a memorandum. The MFTs conduct the height and weight for the BN and my units. If the MFT are not available, I use the medics since they are already trained. Second, 1SGs do not have the time to assess body composition. That is a task that is delegated to trained personnel . If your 1SG is doing body composition, you have bigger problems.

I believe that if you are concerned about fitness then you can be active all the time in your work.A fit body always leads to a good mind. I am also going to take personal training for my health from https://nicelocal.co.uk/nearme/fitness/type/personal_training/ here and I know that I will be fit in almost one month. Health is my first priority now.
