CPAT - TEST PREP CLASSES

WHAT IS THE CPAT?
The Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) is a new minimum requirement for the position of Firefighter. The job of a Firefighter is one of the most physically demanding jobs in the world. It requires high levels of cardiopulmonary endurance, muscular strength and muscular endurance. LALANNE FITNESS has designed classes that simulate the physical demands of this test. Our functional movements and CrossFit workouts will develop the fitness and skill needed to pass the CPAT your first attempt. The CPAT is a timed pass/fail test that consists of eight (8) critical physical tasks that simulate actual job duties on the fire ground...

During the CPAT, you must progress along a predetermined path from one event to the next in a continuous manner. Participants wear a 50-pound (22.68-kg) vest to simulate the weight of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and firefighter protective clothing. An additional 25 pounds (11.34 kg), using two 12.5-pound (5.67-kg) weights that simulate a high-rise pack (hose bundle), is added to your shoulders for the stair climb event. You have 10 minutes and 20seconds to complete all eight tasks. It is your responsibility to schedule and pay for your own CPAT.
