I really want to apply but I feel like I won’t be able to do the fitness

Good morning,

Personal fitness is vitally important to operate as a soldier in the British Army. The good news is that it is something that you can improve with a bit of effort and commitment.

If you have a look at the Army Fit app (available on android/apple) it will help guide you towards improving your fitness.

Good luck!

Any fitness takes time and perseverance. Keep it up. Perhaps look at downloading the 100% ArmyFit app as this would help you track your progress and give you some motivation!! Keep going- you'll be surprised how quickly you'll get to running 1km without stopping!! Good luck.
