1. Search station
Tests your ability to search a cell effectively.
2. Emergency response circuit

How we train it.
- Start with a baseline
Your 60 minute assessment, including a shuttle run, shows where you stand on strength, conditioning and movement. Then we set a plan around your test date.
- Move well for the search
Movement and mobility work that simulates the search station, with the leg strength to keep moving well.
- Simulate the emergency response
Circuit work that simulates each part of the response, building the conditioning to move fast when it counts.
- Build the shuttle run
Pacing, turns at the line and the endurance to keep going, coached on our turf lanes.
- Retest and look ahead
Progress checks before your test, and training that carries you through the second FITCO at the Ontario Correctional Services College.

Every format is open to law enforcement applicants and personal training clients.

Passing is just the beginning.
We train for many different law enforcement tests, and we set up the studio to simulate every part of yours.
