ARMY & T/A FITNESS TEST

 

If you are embarking on a career with the Army or the Territorial Army, you have come to the right place.

We will prepare you for your fitness test, which you should pass with flying colours.

 

Your current physical condition and fitness levels will determine how long it will take you to acquire the correct level of fitness to pass the test. One of the most common reasons that applicants to the Army & T/A do not make the grade is due to failing the fitness test. The recruit training is fairly challenging and the fitter you are when you start the easier the training will be.

 

All new recruits will need to pass a Basic Fitness Test, known as the Physical Standards Selection for Recruits (PSSR)
