ADF Active: Entry Fitness Prep

Defence Force Recruiting

About this app

ADF Active helps you train and prepare for entry into the Australian Defence Force (ADF). During the recruitment process, you'll undertake a Pre-Entry Fitness Assessment (PFA). This app will explain the PFA based on the Navy, Army or Air Force role you're applying for. It will also teach you the right techniques for each exercise, plus help you keep track of your fitness training progress.

You'll learn the right techniques, get personalised workouts, and keep track of your fitness with exercises like the beep test, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and more.

Ratings and reviews

Good morning, This resource has great factual information about each exercise and demonstrations for the visual learner. It's got timed excercises with a pretty easily navigated UI. My feedback would be to study the stretches if you don't know them already because at the end of each routine it just tells you to stretch but not what to stretch.

During my phone interview with one of the guys from the Army, he mentioned this app and so I downloaded it. I've tried MULTIPLE times to get my fitness plan set up - starting at the beginning of the following week - and it keeps 'trying' to load the plan, but nothing actually loads. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still nothing. I have a Samsung S23+ and the app is BROKEN! Please fix so that MAYBE I can get my fitness plan started

The app was never amazing. It did well enough to suit its purpose. But after a recent update it has never worked. My plan that I had followed for months is inaccessible and I can't even create a new plan with a new account. App is 100% broken and shouldn't be taking this long to fix
