CPAT Ready: The Ultimate 8 Week CPAT Preparation Course

Are you serious about becoming a firefighter? Then you already know — the CPAT doesn’t care how many miles you can run or how many weights you can lift. It’s about functional, job-specific performance under pressure.

This course is your no-fluff, action-based roadmap to pass the CPAT with confidence. Designed for those with a solid baseline of fitness, this program cuts through the noise with clear, easy-to-follow workouts that simulate the demands of the test — from weighted stair climbs to grip endurance and real-world carries.

No guesswork. No overcomplication. Just real training that gets real results.

You’ll learn how to:

• Master the 3-minute weighted stair climb (without gassing out),
• Build total-body strength and power for the toughest events,
• Improve recovery and stamina with strategic running and conditioning,
• Train smart with targeted, efficient workouts built for your lifestyle.

And because your training is only as strong as your fuel, you’ll also get a straightforward nutrition guide to help you eat for performance, recovery, and energy — without overcomplicating it.

⚠️ Heads up: This is not a beginner’s fitness program. You should already be comfortable with moderate lifting and steady-state cardio.
Need to build that base first? Start with my 9-Week Lifting & Running Program for Beginners — then come back here and crush the CPAT.

Whether you’re weeks away from testing or want to start training early, CPAT Ready gives you the tools, structure, and confidence to walk into the test prepared — and walk out successful.
