Fitness in the RAF Reserves is important . The RAF Reserves are always on the move and , whether operating in combat zones or on peaceful missions , we have to be ready for anything . So , if you want to wear the RAF uniform , you ’ ll need to be physically fit . To assess this we use the Multi-Stage Fitness Test coupled with the ability to achieve a set number of press-ups and sit-ups . The standard is determined by age and gender . Please see the charts below to see which apply to you :

You don ’ t need expensive equipment or gym membership to get fit – just a pair of well-fitting exercise trainers and the right attitude . If you need some pointers , look no further than our guide ‘ Fit for Action ’, which can be found on our recruiting website . Search RAF Recruitment .
