British Army Fitness Standards Training in London
Preparing for the British Army fitness tests demands more than regular gym sessions. At Commando Temple, our military fitness trainers – led by ex-Royal Marine Commando Rob Blair – deliver bespoke programmes designed to help you meet and exceed the British Army’s Physical Employment Standards (PES).
Whether you’re aiming for the infantry, parachute regiment, or specialist units, our training develops the strength, endurance, and resilience needed to succeed.
What Are the British Army Fitness Standards?
The Army now uses Role Fitness Tests (RFTs) to ensure soldiers are physically ready for their specific jobs. These include:
- Loaded marches carrying full kit over distance
- Casualty drags and lifts under time pressure
- Repeated bodyweight movements such as press-ups and sit-ups
- Endurance runs and sprints to test aerobic and anaerobic fitness
Our team builds your programme around these exact requirements, reducing the risk of injury while maximising performance.
Training for Infantry and Specialist Roles
The demands of the infantry and combat arms are among the toughest in the Army. Our coaches prepare you for:
- Combat task simulations like stretcher carries and fireman lifts
- Conditioning workouts that combine strength, endurance, and agility
- The mental toughness needed to perform under stress
We also support preparation for roles including the Parachute Regiment, Royal Engineers, and close protection units.

Every recruit or civilian begins with a free 30-minute consultation. From there, we design the right mix of:
