New Fitness Test Entry (RFT(E)) will be used as the selection standard to confirm that potential soldier/officer cadets are at the appropriate level of fitness to commence Basic Training.
New Physical Employment Standards (PES) role-related tests ensure physical ability aligns to physical requirements of the job.

Chris Paterson - Correct.
@@Sn-gr6hn yes
No
@@Sn-gr6hn it should be the same for everyone its called equality i do believe
@@petewoody9822 the entry level is different it's just biology nothing to do with politics and such
Kudos to the camera man for being the fittest and fastest runner.
Ikr ?
louis hart 👍🏽 Fabziy! That lad is absolutely brilliant!
The camera man is the CZcams and he's a pti. I/t?
louis hart please don't ever say "kudos " otherwise you will be breasted in the quadrangle all day and all night by your section NCOs and your peers.
Mod 66 the fuck does that have to do with anything
The RAF fitness test is : an Airman must be able to book into a Hilton in under 7 minutes.
...and first in the scran queue.......
@L amen to that! I just recently did my PGSC and the fitness was brutal, I’d love to see those who mock RAF training actually do it themselves 😂
The RAF fitness test you have to run 2.4km in the same time they have to run 2km as well as do more push ups and sit ups.
Just shows how ignorant some morons are
@@jamesgladwin4812 calm down dear. I spent 12 years in the RAF and played every sport going and was very fit. It's my attempt at a bit of self depreciating humour about us Crabs.
8:48 there’s always one in every group.
Kolin Martz 😂😂
One? The whole lot are a group of Frank Spencers!
That’s so embarrassing lol
@@Sn-gr6hn no its a bit "easier"

2:22 aswell haha, left side
More like 7.01
Nice catch.
And at 09:01
@@remmyjcoyle damn that ones really long
First Time I've heard the word "Please" used by a PTI in the Gym. I must be getting old.
That PTI is so cuddly, not like my PTIs in 1971, they were just evil
Andy T - with the physical and mental adversities I put this troop through I’m sure my manners do not give them too much comfort. Even for this day and age I’d say they are being tempered well.
Nicest shout that was often heard if someone was struggling in my day was from an Irish PTI ... 'Have you got leprosy in your f****ng gums'... still don't know what it had to do with press ups an squats etc lol
He's extremely polite for an NCO. But that's just the changing of war when CMR is more important than the killing of an enemy.
@@supertrooper611 How old are you Simon?
Looking forward to it! in the gym 4 days a week now training i don't want to turn up to the careers office just being able to pass the fitness test i want to turn up and smash it!
That's the sprit of a real winner. Good luck!
Good luck mate,don’t focus on trying to get big,try to focus on you’re stamina and strength...both will help you a lot
take whatever your entry requirements are, then look at the next one up and aim for that
@@rvasquez4419 agreed bud.
Leave OP massive for when you're in. For now build explosive strength, muscular endurance and stamina. And get running! And when you run run faster. You can never be too fast
Brendan Hannan 🤘🏾
I was very impressed with the AAPTI full screw. He conducted himself very well and certainly comes across as very professional. As I said before I find your videos really interesting as I compare what my training was like in the mid 70s.
Mid 70s WOW I would love to see what's your Pti like back then!.. Thanks for your service again.
@@Fabziy he waa like the legendary Sgt gunnery.
I have been searching for a video like this for months! Super helpful for someone wanting to join the army. Thanks for making this video.
Laiken Carrington “NOW THE SEARCH IS OVER” thanks for watching hope it was useful 👍🏾
3:50 That dude didn't just skip leg day. He forgot his legs even existed
He looks like a half-empty tooth paste, just kinda crushed at the bottom ya know.
TheMinipily 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I pulled 198kg on my mid thigh pull and i skipped both days lol
James Healey 90 more kilograms than I got
@@danwells4088 I cycle a lot so have strong legs lol
Absolutely brilliant look into the new test, thank you very much for a peek into what i hope ill be taking part in a few months when i've got my fitness to a good level.

Awesome video mana, gives the younger generation an insight of what to expect. One love!
Mana bless
This was amazing to watch the night before going(second time watching it), just so that I could calm my nerves about going, honestly would have been so much more panicked otherwise
How did you get on? I just sighed up today
@@glasgowrangers6915 I’m about to apply can’t wait good luck🖤
@@kitobaex53 Good Luck 😁💙
Im 16 abd about to join after gcse any tips on what training i need to undergo before joining?
@@rosemohammed7106 so something we did in my platoon was every day we did 100 sits ups, squats and push-ups, but spread out into sets so don’t worry if you need to break them down, I also suggest doing plenty of cardio since you do train cardio pretty often and the ones near the back usually get bollocked for it
cracking video always informative and useful,and most importantly thank you for making these videos and your dedicated service to this country.
Thanks that means a lot, please share!
Yes - PTI is fantastic and he needs to be to get the job done in today's modern military.
Excellent Video and a big thank you for putting it out here
More Please!!
Thank you!
Just keep up with the pace of the people in the middle at 'your pace' and you should be fine. Adrenaline kicks in when you doing it as a group
Kingsley Ochi disagree, aim to always pass the person in front of you
@@joshuaturner2524 I'll go with that too. Lol. But don't try to pass them so much that you pass out needing air...
If you arnt being sick you haven’t pushed yourself hard enough
@@joshuaturner2524 if you arent needing a lung transplant after you didnt push yourself hard enough.
although it has been nearly 20 years since i left the army, it's interesting to see how things have changed, great video's that i'm sure will help new recruits, thank you for you're service
brian bird things have gotten very soft now
Did my basic training at Pirbright then the guards depot in the 80,s and it was just one long beasting from morning till night, we were knackered before PT lessons because our instructors used to beast us on the way to the gym and on the way back , no wonder then that so many fell by the wayside . Today I think it is a more gentle introduction and the instructors actually talk to you with respect not like in the old days when they didn't give a shit if you jacked . How times have changed, mind you I have never been so fit all my life .
Which Regiment did you join ?
I've recently subscribed and your vids are the only thing keeping me entertained during lockdown. Keep up the good videos
As always good video. Thanks for these man 👍
Thanks for your support appreciated.
Good video..like how you get your message across easy but firm...unlike our pti,s in jlr/rct(they had a job to do)the gym was a place in hell
It's all about respect, if you want it you've to give it 👍
GREAT Job giving insight to future recruits buddy
Always look forward to your videos great work will definitely share👍👍✔
Hi nila❤
Really giving me a good insight into army life with your videos. I had my assessment centre at pirbright in June. I’m wanting to join the parachute regiment and got a 7.44 min run time in the 1.2 mile after 800m warm up which I was pleased about 👍 keep up the good videos
Fuckin excellent man, good luck with it
Wait, 1.2 mile? Not 1.5?
Great video. Miss pirbright pt. Not been the same in unit
I could alway take you on a one2one lesson 💪
Thanks for posting these, I love your videos, I start at Pirbright beginning of September and I'm super nervous
Just remember everyone else will be too. Main thing to get your head around is being away from home.
When its hard crack a joke, be the person who's looking out for others.
If someone's struggling help them.
Best advice i can give.
Good luck 😎
Thank you for the videos 👍👍👍👍
Just what i needed to watch as i’m planning on signing on at the end of the year!
Do it don't wait!
Purple Aki see people don’t speak to or ignore people like you because your clearly a negative person, i can do what i want to do and if you don’t like it, don’t comment...simple MATE
@@AshSmash981 Haha treat yourself youngen. When you are sick of being treated like a child with zero control over your life just remember what ive said. Those Sunday nights lad... you will understand once you are in
Purple Aki “Yougen”, mate i’m old enough (18+) to make my own decisions, and if they are wrong i’ll learn from my mistakes,but im not taking advice from you, you’ve gone about it in like worst way,because you’ve probably had a bad experience doesn’t mean everyone else will,so take your negativity somewhere else n f**** off 😘
If my PTI doesn't look like that I will feel betrayed. What a mustache
😂😂
Thanks FZ, biking I do a fair amount , but it hasn't made that much improvement on me, a lot of your routine is new to me but ill have someone to assist when im in session .many thanks D.
I was a army cadet and my first annual camp ( two weeks away) was brunswick nice to see it’s still alive
And the Great content continues ...Bless you Mate!!!
Stay tune for more!
So this is how it’s done today , very nice and polite I would say . Wasn’t like this back in the eighties believe me and it done me no harm. But liked the video ! Big respect to the British Army !
Probably don't want the girls crying.
Standby... Around my beautiful body ten times and GO!
Good effort, takes me back
Really good video showed me some of the stuff to expect , since am thinking about joining the army in 2020
Same
Same here bruh...is 25yrs cool age to join???
@@denneloheneba7489 ofcourse why would it matter
Amazing vid
Thanks a lot.
I thought the Beastings were pretty tame, we were hanging after the warm up. But he is being filmed.
I wish my week 1 imf sessions were this tame
Chalk & Cheese -If all of my beastings ‘Physical correctional training’ were caught on camera I’d probably be returned to unit.
But I’ve never asked my soldiers to do anything I haven’t already practiced, Be that 7 minutes of burpees at rapid rate or 4 laps of the track.
Sounds like my ex-raf tutor when I did Uniformed Public Services. He had us do fitness just like in the forces, he was hard on us but only to the extent that he believed was possible. Being fair but firm is a good way to keep people motivated and improving
beastings what beastings? he was being really nice to them.
ITS HARD TO BELIEVE I STARTING TRAINING AT PIRBRIGHT IN 2004 TO JOIN 5THE RLC AS A DRIVER..SO MUCH HAS CHANGED ITS SO LAYED BACK AND RELAXED NOW..IM NOW WITH THE 2ND BATTALLION ROYAL IRISH RESERVES..BUT IL TELL YOU THIS FABIZY THE RESERVES GET A LOT OF STICK AND ARE VERY UNDER RATED.. I SERVED IN BOTH AND PEOPLE WOULD BE SUPRISED...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AS USUAL MATE THE VIDEOS ARE CLASS
Thanks man!
very informative . Preparing for my selection on 1st october
@-KracN- thank you mate
I can’t wait for this, gym 4 days a week and rugby training 2 days a week at the minute so hopefully I’ll meet the standard!
8:51why would he do that? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Getting a little look of what to expect just applied a few days ago
I love these types of vids. New subscriber!!
Thanks for subscribing!
Fabziy anytime!!!
That has to be the nicest PTI ever😂I'd almost shit myself when my royal navy ones even talked
ha...I had a Royal Marine PTI during my basic
Nazgûl most likely the same one I had, he’s not aloud to do IMF anymore as he picked up a recruit not doing press ups properly and dropped him 😂
@@TheBritishEmpire920 my RM PTI was ok though..he was better than the Royal Navy PTI's. He had a shaved head and said "mega simple" alot
Navy is gay
6:40 my mans chewing gum on parade 😂😂😂 press up position down
I enjoyed the footage brought back memories I thought it waa very informative the recruits were very good makes mw want to join up.I did my Training in 79-80 at Pirbright then went on to join 2nd Battalion Scots Guards.
I made some great friend's we're srill in touch today 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
I've just finished submitting my application, Hope to see you sometime Fabziy :)
3:27 that kid is straining his impulse so hard
Best Recruit to najwyzsze wyroznienie podczas podstawowego szkolenia ,najczesciej w Pirbright.Moja corka byla tam ,lacznie z rekowery po zlamaniu ,a i tak zostala najlepszym zolnierzem.Wojsku brytyjskiemu trzeba przyznac jeden,zasadniczy plus.Tam naprawde jest jeden za wszystkich i wszyscy za jednego.|Niesamowita solidarnosc i obopolna pomoc.British Army is the best!
The British Army is the best not because it's the most exclusive, but because it has the best men and women, which are all British citizens regardless.
I'm really learning from this New Fitness Test!!!
Hi henry💕
Awesome!
Good videos fabz🔥
Thanks😎
Kickass moustache 👍
i was there in the 1980s with the royal county of berkshire army cadet force pl 5 cippenham c coy, duke of edinburghs royal regiment. loved every moment. and not much has changed, part from some new builds.
Brings back memories. Although very different from when I did this in the 90's. My distinguishing memory was Getting lost on the 1.5 mile run and throwing up on the grass bank at the end I was the corporals bitch for the rest of the day for that lol. I still came first with a time of 8min 10 sec. Was acceppted into the Royal Engineers. Happy days!
As a Veteran, I find it really amusing how often the Instructor says Please !! Don't think our PTIs even knew the word existed!!😁
Now these are the kind of videos I've been looking for. I am aiming to join the infantry by this time next year and am joining the gym. Even when my work has been physically exhausting, I will still go to the gym after to push my body to the max. I may be a female so the requirements are slightly lower, but I don't settle for a pass, only for excellence. Now I know more specifically what kinds of tests there are, I can test myself already to know what progress is being made. As my ex-raf tutor once taught us at college, never stop pushing yourself, even when you're out of breath and nauseous, and you'll excel
That's the right attitude. All the best!
Infantry ? Are females allowed to join infantry now ?
'Are FEMALES allowed to join the infantry now?' . . . . . . . By heavens man, it does appear so . . . .i do believe they have the vote too . . . . . . By gods thunder, its seems they will be wanting equal pay and the right to wear trousers and drive cars before you know it . . . . .the very Empire is at stake here man, the VERY EMPIRE . . . . . 😂😂😂😂😂
tbf Sean we were only allowed into infantry this time last year, UK was very much behind in letting woman join and I had given up trying to fight sexist people within the forces that insisted we were too weak and having us join would make the team weak (clearly never been where I currently work, we're pretty strong and great at teamwork). But I do love people's reactions, like how dare we join the fight to protect queen and country and protect other countries xD
@@ShadowWolflonewolf protecting Queen who protects Andrew doesn't sound very inline with standards 😕
Yo i like that beat playing👍🏿
Very helpful Video
I’m focussing on getting healthier over the next couple of months, I’m 19 n already quite athletic but nothing appeals to me more than starting and finishing the training with the same people you start with!
I’d also like to sign up for the Royal Marines after getting the experience and knowledge of being in the army. Has anybody else been through a similar situation n has some tips? Nice one people👏🏻
@BCFC imagine the feeling of getting handed that green beret at the end of it all mate! Top one for the response and best of luck to you! Big respect💯
Nice one pal All the best to you!!
@BCFC no way mate fair play to you!!!!How did it go N what did it consist of n what not?
You’ll soon have the green lid🙌!!
BCFC absolutely smashed it pal the only way is forwards! All the best with with your future in the RM! Hopefully I’ll bump into you one day👍🏻
Thank you! I have my assessment on the 24th
Moe's Tavern after documentation how long they took fr date
Impressive !
“Shuffle down please”. How very polite!
first time I've ever heard no swearing and no slaps/punches!!!
in 25 years these recruits could be watching videos of recruit training and saying "in my day training was tougher than this!" times change and you got to change with it
See the girls sprinting at the end. Good effort.
Wonderful 👍🏻👍🏻
Joining Harrogate in September to hopefully end up joining the paras. Really loving these videos!
Have u passed Prac yet?
@@danielbaliga1487 No, Harrogate is an army foundation college. Once I've done 49 weeks there I'll go into Para training and do prac, p coy etc.
Thanks for watching also good luck on your course.
when’s your start date mate? i’ve got the 15 th but others i went to assessment with have the 23 rd
@@Smiffyplays I assume you're going for a role with a trade? Because infantry lads are going in on the 22nd. That's my start date too.
This is, perhaps, the most polite and respectful military fitness course in the entire world. I don't know if this is because it was on film and they wanted to appear all kind and such, but dang.
if I join and his not that kind I'm sewing
@@-simpking5761 Don’t join.
@@k3nz1e73 why
Nice one brother very helpful
Thanks!
I’m glad I came across your channel, I do miss pirbright.. been 3 years now, got my pti course in September... deffo going to use your channel when it comes to recuirtment.
Thanks mate, I would appreciate that, good luck on your AAPTI keep me updated.
Fabziy Rgr 👍🏼
I have my run in two days looking forward running next to you 😎
Thanks for watching, looking forward for that!
Kenny how is it going I want to join
I need to do this as a reservist roll just to relight the fire in me. 37.5 desk job is boring the life out of me.
We used to have 2 PT vest a red one and a white one. the white one was worn when we had PT in the Gym and that was for us to lay on the floor on our backs and push ourselves around on our backs cleaning the floor - the white PT vest were not so white afterwards. The next day we would have to show a lovely white vest again. We never had any type of washing machines or dryers - yep it was great fun.
my Dad was a chef there in the 70s.. I wen to Army Cadets there in the late 80s and worked as a K.P in D-Lines in the late 90s
ah the good old "stand by GO!" when youve done something wrong or not quick enough lol
18 year old me was here in 2006. I'm now 32 this year . did 7 years in the army and loved it
I'm 16 and considering joining the army after college. Would you mind me picking your brain about a few things?
@@XavierBodd yes what would you like to know. I am also a Personal trainer by the way... that's what I became when I left
@@sarahkostkova19 Is there anything you wished you knew before you joined the army? And how do the living arrangements work? Where do you live? Who do you share your space with? Thank you so much
@@XavierBodd I'm currently serving, what trade are you looking at doing?
@@XavierBodd No book or TV show can prepare you for it . For me is was a real eye opener. I wish I knew how physically hard Tabbing was lol. In basic I shared big room with 11 other girls. single bed own warbdrobe. Trade training same but 8 girls. Both Units I served I had my own bedroom but corridor had 4 rooms . Last year I served I had baby so got a married quarter ( house) 1 mile from camp
Another great video.......thanks much
Another great video thanks Fabziy 👏
Thanks a lot appreciated!
I’m about to turn 15. Although I still have a few years I’ve been working on my fitness so that when it’s my time I’m ready! 💪
If you become a fan of running and regularly run 10ks etc for the next couple of years then it would make it so much easier.
WarDaddy nonce how? So preparing to train a few years in advance so I’m in fitter shape and more prepared...hmmm that sure does seem like it’ll cause the standards to stoop
@@georgiamuir9477 Best thing to do. How prepared would you be if you were used to running 10ks and then doing walks with weights in a back pack. Ignore him
stretford reds right, I’ve been working out a lot for the last few weeks and I’ve seen a big improvement in my strength, which is present when lifting weights, doing push ups and sit ups. I’ve also been going for jogs after my breakfast and I can now do around 3km, might not be much but it’s a big improvement and is only getting better with each day! :)
@@georgiamuir9477 3K regularly is a good start. The army selection test is a mile and half so that is a similar distance. I'd carry on what you are doing. Don't do too much or you might stop in a few weeks. I find doing less but sustaining it over years is more rewarding because lets be honest, it can be boring and if you do too much you might stop. Throw in exercises like squats and do a longer run every so often. Joining the army cadets might be a decent shout as well for some basic experience
Jog on a run, do it again!
Good job 👍 UK 🇬🇧
😁 Did my basic at Catterick in 1977(old git)...wish our pti had been so cuddly and polite!
I was there in 1971, RAC. Lots of beasting😂😂😂
Wow, was here 18 years ago, seems like yesterday. gym and parade square haven't changed. PTIs not swearing 2 inchs from your face is different. i hated heartbreak hill, especially doing it backwards
Is this the test reservists have to do as well, Given that's an 8 week course over 4 weekends from memory?
Interesting to see what actually happens in pirbright hope to be one of those people soon
This was really helpful as considering Harrowgate next year
Better start practicing a 2km every day 😅
When he called himself a bald headed freak hahaha
😁
I go for my assessments on the 28th of August, I can’t wait 💯
Good luck
How long it took for assessment date ??
Mine also on 28 th
Mine also 28 aug
Will be doing this in a September very excited
Good luck, use the time to polish up your fitness 👌
I have just started the process and I must admit I am quite nervous but I am starting to prepare and do research as well

Use the time wisely (fitness!!)
Haha crazy, I had my first briefing with the guy that turned around too early at 11:28
Glad to see he made it, it'll be my turn soon.
Good luck! I bet he wished he had the same advantage watching my videos 😅
@@Fabziy thank you. I bet he would these videos do help alot.
@@kaineethan1709 Kaine we can be life partner 💖
Is it me or does this test look somewhat weak? I know it's just a fitness test to confirm that a recruit meets the minimum fitness standard to begin entry but wtf????
yeah i agree but you have to be fit to stay in, not necessarily to get in
Might be because of the higher prevalence of overweight and obese youth. It's hard to find fit youth. It's easier to train them up once they are in instead of not even letting them start. The war machine needs body's.
John coughlan it doesn’t matter what level there at they want to join and are ready to serve for the military, that should be enough
John coughlan they BECOME soldiers it doesn’t happen overnight. You can’t expect a new recruit to be at military standard straight away.
british army fell short of man power under recruitment has meant its 7000 short of manpower even after cuts that were made....british army is no longer valued s under equiped and under manned and lost 100s of years of tradion to be politically correct about getting new officers from poor backgrounds as opposed to the normal boarding schools that had kept britain elite...
Very polite PTI's, never had that at Woolwich in my basic. A few things not to change, bad PTI moustache and the phrase 'Standby, go'...those words were usually followed by a beasting. 🤣
Can't wait to sign next year January 🇬🇧💪🏻👑
