You wouldn't think how many elements you can take into consideration when training for your ADF or Police fitness test. Not only do you need to make sure that you are aware of your assessment requirements, but you also need to train effectively too. Many of The Barracks Gym members don't realise how much their training gear can affect their performance.

The Police Force in most Australian states and territories require new applicants to complete the shuttle run test. If that's the case in your area, you will need to prepare yourself to meet those requirements, and you'll only have one attempt on the day.

There are several fitness tests that you need to take if you want to be a part of the Queensland Police Service or the NSW Police Force. One of these is the Prone Bridge test. Knowing about the test and putting in the right level of practice and training is a necessity if you are to pass. ​
