MCCS and Total Fitness
Marine Corps Community Services provides a network of programs and services designed to enhance Marine Corps Total Fitness. As a Marine or a family member, this means taking an approach to life that strengthens all aspects of health and fitness. Marine Corps Total Fitness focuses on social, spiritual, mental, and physical domains.
Social fitness is about building and maintaining positive connections with others in all areas of your life. You can make those connections anywhere, including while working out, playing sports, and through the Single Marine Program.
Spiritual fitness involves engaging in life’s meaning and purpose. Chaplains can assist in understanding your purpose and meaning in life and how it connects to your service and serves as a source of support.

Mental fitness includes being engaged in healthy thinking and behaviors and building strong intellectual and emotional habits. Resources that assist with mental fitness include chaplains and Marine Corps Community Services such as transition readiness, financial management, family team building, community counseling, and family advocacy.
Physical fitness requires functional strength, agility, aerobic capacity, endurance, mobility, and a well-rounded fitness program. Semper Fit provides strength and conditioning coaches who provide unit and individual Marine training. Your fitness and performance centers also include sleep and health educators who provide sleep health coaching, nutrition education, and small or large group classes that promote and improve physical, mental, spiritual, and social fitness for Marines and family members.
The USMC Human Performance Branch includes access to fitness programs for CFT and PFT, workout of the day, and aquatics conditioning. The Marine Corps is developing Warrior Athlete Readiness and Resilience Centers that will consolidate health, wellness, prevention, and performance capabilities.
