Book | eBook
In case you're unaware, the FBI Fitness Test Workout Program gives you the keys to crush the FBI PT Test. Are you among the more than 10,000 who have applied to join the FBI Agent program since the beginning of 2025? Don't let the fitness test hold you back. To be as competitive as you can, you need to excel in all areas of the application, and the FBI Fitness Test is one of them.
Were you recently crushed when you took it for the first time? Don't worry - it happens to almost half of the applicants, especially if you are not used to putting all the events together. But time is tight - so stop wasting time. This is a program to teach you how to ace the FBI PFT so you can get hired and not have to wait six months again to re-apply.
The FBI Fitness Test Workout, is sold at Stew Smith Fitness and written by Tactical Fitness Trainer Stew Smith CSCS (Navy SEAL veteran). The programs sold at StewSmithFitness.com help Military, Special Ops, Law Enforcement, and Firefighter candidates get TO and THROUGH intense tactical assessment and selection programs. Using the books, ebooks and online coaching, you will qualify for service in the most competitive tactical professions.
This workout program of my annual best sellers as future Agents are serious about scoring high enough on the PT Test to get accepted into the FBI Academy. Your academic abilities, physical preparedness, and quickness in learning new skills will get you TO and THROUGH the FBI Agent Test and the Academy training.
Check out the FBI Fitness Test Workout for more details on running, sprinting, calisthenics, lifting weights, obstacle courses, and overall preparedness for federal law enforcement training.
Here's the bottom line for you: taking a fitness test requires a cycle (or two) of intense focus on the exercises being tested in order to crush them. Taking practice tests regularly will help you develop strategies to pace yourself effectively and achieve your best score. We have tested this PT Test preparation system for over 20 years with amazing results. If you need more work with endurance (good-paced running), speed (sprints), and higher repetition calisthenics for muscle endurance, then consider the FBI Fitness Test Workout program.
What makes The FBI Fitness Test Workout special as opposed to other books (even the free options) is that you can talk directly to the author and discuss training with other tactical athletes through his website, StewSmithFitness.com, and LIVE QA Sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9 a.m. on Youtube/Instagram. You can also always email stew@stewsmith.com for direct answers to your questions/concerns.
Something amazing about the FBI Fitness Test Workout that most people don't realize is that it has yielded more than 20 years of successful results. Please don't take my word for it.
“At 29, I decided to change careers and enter the law enforcement field. I was 5'8”, 260 lbs, and unable to complete the State Police PFT. I purchased your FBI Academy / PFT Prep Workout and ritualistically followed it 6 days a week for over six months. When I applied and tested for the State Police, I received superior marks on all levels, and an excellent in the 1.5 mile run. I entered the academy at 31 years old and 185 lbs and excelled through the academy. So, thank you for everything you do for today's modern warrior.”

This program is also compatible with over half of the country’s law enforcement programs. The test is a standard in the federal, state, and local law enforcement communities:
Pullups max
300m Sprint
Pushups max
1.5 mile timed run
Pullups have replaced situps, and now you must accept the challenge. Your success depends on your preparation and getting used to taking this test. Anyone can do pullups, but you have to practice them (or versions of them) as you build up to your first one.
On a side note, the FBI Fitness Test Workout is not for those of you who are not into following fitness programs. This program is specifically designed to ace the PFT. You cannot fit this into your bodybuilding or weightlifting routine. You have to focus on these events if you want to pass them above the standards of performance you will need to do your job.
The FBI Fitness Test Workout is for you if you have never taken a fitness test or failed to pass your first few FBI PT Tests during recent attempts. Don't waste another minute doing workouts that do not specifically prepare you for this test.
What I love most about this book is that the program actually works! This is the best-selling program at StewSmithFitness.com. When only 4000 jobs may open for the FBI each year, more than 50,000 - 75,000 people will apply to those jobs. Your fitness will get your foot in the door. Take it seriously—crush the test, then prepare for the following Academy. This program will help you address your weaknesses.
One thing to be aware of is that you have to follow the program. It is best if followed for 10-12 weeks rather than picking and choosing individual workouts. It is not an a la carte training program. It is a tactical fitness test training cycle specially designed for the test. If most of your workouts do not include elements of the test, you are wasting your time.
That's actually not a big deal because building good habits is part of the journey and it takes practice and discipline. Learning how to follow a program can yield results like you have never seen if you're struggling to make your own workouts.
The great news is that you can buy the program now and get access to answers to your training questions.

Core Mission
-
Tactical Fitness Training For the Candidate / Recruit: Specializing in preparing individuals for military, special ops, law enforcement, and firefighter selection programs (getting you "TO and THROUGH" training).
-
Functional Training for Both Active Duty / Recruits: Utilizing a seasonal tactical fitness periodization system that balances longer workouts of running/rucking, swimming, and calisthenics during the Spring/Summer when days are longer. Then, the focus shifts in the Fall/Winter to lifting (Cals/cardio maintenance) when the days are shorter/colder. This process has 25 years of proven success building tactical athletes who improve in all areas of fitness: strength, power, speed, agility, endurance, muscle stamina, mobility, flexibility, and grip.
Becoming an Asset for All Types: Even non-tactical athletes want to be of use in situations that require some level of fitness to get through the day. Be an asset, not a liability, in potentially dangerous situations, whether natural or man-made. Fitness can be a common denominator in successfully enduring life-or-death scenarios.

Where to Find More Information About Optimal Performance Training Programs
When you start training again, consider the seasonal tactical fitness model. I call it A WAY to train, and obviously not the only way to train. But it offers the opportunity to never neglect your weaknesses, helps with flexibility and mobility, but will also put you at a level of physical abilities where you are happy with your overall ability to just about anything. We have a system where the seasons dictate our training. When it is nicer outside, we tend to run and do more calisthenics. When it is colder and not so nice, we lift more, run, less, and still maintain our outdoor activities with shorter runs and rucks. Check it out: Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization System.
