Fitness goals

Recruit training will test you physically in ways you have probably never experienced . You ’ ll have to pass routine fitness tests in order to progress to the next stage of your training . The physical demands will become harder as the course progresses , so you ’ ll need to continually reassess your fitness level and set yourself new goals .
But recruit training isn ’ t just an endless routine of timed runs and press-ups . You ’ ll be following a demanding training programme , with long days and often very little sleep . Physical fitness is the best way of preparing your body ( and mind ) for this challenge .
We don ’ t expect superhuman strength or endurance on day one of the training course . We ’ re just looking for a basic level of fitness and a willingness to put in the required effort . We see fitness as a personal responsibility , so arriving in good shape will demonstrate that you possess the self-motivation that we look for in our personnel .
