Hello,
I would advise having a good read of our website, particularly the section on joining as a soldier. This will go through the application process and give you advice on what to expect and how to prepare, as well as what level of fitness you should be able to achieve. I would say aim for above the minimum fitness standards, so if on the day even if you have a bad day, you can still comfortably pass.
