sorry guys, I've had to remove this post. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Will you pass the new Victoria Police
Fitness Tests?

Find out BEFORE you have to do it for real!

When would you rather find out if you’ve done enough to pass the Victoria Police Fitness Tests, on the day of the test, or weeks before?

Don’t leave it to chance. Come and join us for our next group assessment session and find out exactly where your preparation is at. You’ll get the opportunity to try all of the tests in the same format as you can expect at the Police Academy. I’ll be explaining exactly how the tests are run and what you can and can’t do as well as what to expect on testing day.

Participating in one of our assessment sessions (personal or group) will eliminate a lot of the stress of not knowing what to expect. By the end of the session you’ll know exactly what to expect at the official police fitness tests as well as how to prepare yourself leading up to the tests. You’ll discover what your strengths and weaknesses are so you can specifically target your training to ensure you don’t get any nasty surprises on testing day.

I’ll be answering lots of questions about training and the selection process in general, and, you’ll get to chat with other applicants to compare notes – and size up the competition!

Come and join us, you’ll be very glad you did.

When: Sunday 23rd of November 2008
Where: Knox Athletics Track, Knoxfield
Time: 9.30am
Cost: $65 if paid by electronic transfer by Tuesday 18th of November 2008 or $85 if paid in cash on the day. Paying on the day will only be available if the course does not fill up.

The course will be limited to 10 participants to ensure the ratios allow for some personal coaching for each police applicant.

How do I get on the course?

Express your interest by email or phone. I will add your name to the list but funds transfer must be received before your place can be confirmed.

I won’t bombard you with testimonials from applicants who have found the sessions extremely helpful, you can look them up at www.primemotionfitness.com.au if you like. I can assure you that regardless of where you think your fitness is at, you’ll feel much better knowing all the facts rather than stressing about assumptions.

Give yourself every advantage you can.
Don’t hesitate to sing out if you have any questions. Get in early; there are only 10 places available for this session. Express your interest by phone or email and I’ll stick you on the list.

I’ve helped more than 110 applicants with their police application. I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your preparation for the Victoria Police Fitness Test.


Kind regards,

New Fitness Test Video

Hi guys & gals,

from November 2008 the new fitness testing will start for Vic Pol applicants. Here's a look at what you're in for!



The "Beep Test" video can be found on this website.

Please contact me and I'll email you the standards you require for your age and gender. http://www.primemotionfitness.com.au/moreinformation.html

Cheers.
Russ.

Do the new tests include a swimming component?

Short answer....No.

It's a long story and of course there are reasons for the decision to remove the swimming test from the applicant fitness testing procedure, which I'm happy to discuss with you if you're interested, but all you need to know as an interested applicant is that from November 2008 police applicants are no longer required to pass a swimming test as part of the selection process.

I know from chatting with some of you that there will be some happy police applicants about now.

Cheers!
Russ.

Finally it's official!

Okay, it's now official so I can let you know the facts!

Victoria Police has 'officially' changed it's fitness testing procedure for applicants wishing to join Victoria Police.

There will be two more current agility tests before the "new fitness testing' commences. September 21st, then October 12th. The first of the new fitness test will be conducted in November 2008.

For information on the new fitness tests check out the link below. I will be adding video of each of the tests within the next couple of days to assist you in your understanding of what to expect. I have also been working on a comprehensive prep training manual for applicants which will be made up of both video and written sections. This will include the ideal exercises to build up the necessary strength and fitness required to pass the tests.

Will the new tests be easier or harder than the obstacle course?

Arh, the million dollar question. The reality is, it will be easier for some people but harder for others. Either way; preparation, preparation, preparation!!

Here's the link which outlines the new tests:

There is also a good explanation of the beep test on this blog page. More videos to come very shortly!

Complete Training Manual

Hi gang,

I've had a lot of requests over the past 12 months for training programs so applicants can prepare themselves without having to pay for personal coaching. Even though i feel the specialized personal coaching sessions are great value I do understand people wanting to keep the cost down. It's probably fair to remind people that an investment in coaching is returned 10 times over when you pass the agility test and successfully advance to the next stage of the selection process.

In trying to balance the benefits of personal coaching with the needs of some applicants, in particular: country applicants, i have finally put together a very comprehensive training manual which i will know make available for Victoria Police applicants. It covers all of the aspects to ensure applicants are thoroughly prepared; from running technique, specific techniques for each obstacle to weight loss, nutrition and strength training programs.

Checkout the "Compelete Training Manual" at http://www.primemotion.citymax.com/manual.html

Cheers

Dates for the new tests?

Well the million dollar question is when will the new fitness tests actually start?

It depends which day you ask!

The 'deal' will be done at the end of July and new tests were scheduled to start in August, but, it has been decided to start advertising the introduction of the new tests in August for a 12 week period prior to actually commencing those new tests.

This advertising period will allow applicants the required time they need to get fit and prepare specifically for these tests before they actually get introduced.

So, this means late October, early November. In the meantime applicants should concentrate only on the agility test. You will get 12 weeks notice before they spring any new tests on people so don't panic!

Any dramas, drop me a line at russell@primemotion.com.au
