    The CHIP test evaluates a candidate's physical readiness through several components:

    1. 1.5 mile run – must complete in required time (based on age/gender)
    2. Sit-ups – minimum number in 1 minute
    3. Push-ups – minimum number (no time limit, continuous)
    4. 300m sprint – required time based on age/gender

    Full Armour Fitness's Training Program

    Our training program is tailored to the CHIP test with:

    • Standards-first planning. We map your age/sex targets for all four CHIP events—1-min sit-ups, 300m sprint, 1-min push-ups, and the 1.5-mile run—using the Cooper-based thresholds most CT agencies accept (commonly the 40th percentile). We build a margin above your required score so test-day nerves don’t cost you a pass.
    • Event-specific progressions.
    • Push-ups: EMOMs and density sets to raise clean-rep count fast, plus scapular strength and trunk bracing so reps “count.”
    • Sit-ups: Tempo intervals and hip-flexor/abdominal pairing to keep form legal for the full minute.
    • 300m sprint: Speed-endurance repeats (e.g., 150–300m) with full recoveries to hit your target time under fatigue.
    • 1.5-mile: Threshold and negative-split runs, plus one longer aerobic run weekly for economy. (These four events are the official CHIP components used across CT.)
    • Mock tests & taper. We run timed, official-order practice days (with legal rep standards and start commands), then taper you the final week so you’re fresh for test day. (Some agencies post the exact thresholds/score sheets; we align to those when you share the department.)
    • Injury-prevention & mobility. Hip flexor/hamstring mobility, posterior-chain strength, and calf/Achilles care to keep sprint work safe while you increase volume.
    • Nutrition & hydration playbook. Practical guidance for pre-run fueling, sprint-day warmups, sodium/fluid timing, and GI-friendly test-day meals.
    • Lifestyle & recovery coaching. Sleep, step goals, and light cross-training to speed adaptation without overuse.

    Outcomes depend on your starting point, but across an 8–12-week block, our trainees commonly report:

    • Cleaner, “countable” reps that pass strict standards (no-bounce push-ups, proper sit-up hand/shoulder positions).
    • Noticeably faster 300m and 1.5-mile times from better pacing and repeatable speed-endurance.
    • Higher confidence on test day after two or more full-dress mock runs.

    (If you’re targeting a specific department—many require the Cooper 40% standard for a CHIP card—we’ll train to that sheet and build a buffer above it.)
