What would you suggest to someone who wants to join but is worried about their fitness levels. Should I wait and get fit

    Hi there,

    Fitness is not the only consideration for when you apply to the Army. You will see what your bleep test requirement is for each role on the specific role pages. I would suggest using this as the base to achieve prior to going to your assessment centre. Our recruiters will support you in improving your fitness by providing advice and training programs such as the following can guide you on your way - https://www.army.mod.uk/umbraco/Surface/Download/Get/13482.

    Ultimately its about you having the confidence in your ability, you don't need to be super human and we will build up your fitness as you progress through training.
