Andy T - with the physical and mental adversities I put this troop through I’m sure my manners do not give them too much comfort. Even for this day and age I’d say they are being tempered well.
Nicest shout that was often heard if someone was struggling in my day was from an Irish PTI ... 'Have you got leprosy in your f****ng gums'... still don't know what it had to do with press ups an squats etc lol
This was amazing to watch the night before going(second time watching it), just so that I could calm my nerves about going, honestly would have been so much more panicked otherwise
@@rosemohammed7106 so something we did in my platoon was every day we did 100 sits ups, squats and push-ups, but spread out into sets so don’t worry if you need to break them down, I also suggest doing plenty of cardio since you do train cardio pretty often and the ones near the back usually get bollocked for it
Did my basic training at Pirbright then the guards depot in the 80,s and it was just one long beasting from morning till night, we were knackered before PT lessons because our instructors used to beast us on the way to the gym and on the way back , no wonder then that so many fell by the wayside . Today I think it is a more gentle introduction and the instructors actually talk to you with respect not like in the old days when they didn't give a shit if you jacked . How times have changed, mind you I have never been so fit all my life .
Yes - PTI is fantastic and he needs to be to get the job done in today's modern military. Excellent Video and a big thank you for putting it out here More Please!!
Absolutely brilliant look into the new test, thank you very much for a peek into what i hope ill be taking part in a few months when i've got my fitness to a good level.
Really giving me a good insight into army life with your videos. I had my assessment centre at pirbright in June. I’m wanting to join the parachute regiment and got a 7.44 min run time in the 1.2 mile after 800m warm up which I was pleased about 👍 keep up the good videos
@@blakesblake5663 really? That’s a piece of piss for anyone who trains hard. Unless I’ve got the maths wrong, that’s a practically an 7-8 minute mile, which is a lot slower than what it used to be. 1.5 miles in 9:30 (old standard) is a 6 minute mile. Or have I completely fucked this up haha
@@soldierside3652k is 1.25 miles. 1.5 miles in 9:40 works out to 96.666... seconds per 0.25 mile. 1.25 miles is 5 quarter miles. Which means it should be 483.333... seconds. Which is 8 minutes 3 seconds. So if the time is actually 8:21 then it is slower.
So this is how it’s done today , very nice and polite I would say . Wasn’t like this back in the eighties believe me and it done me no harm. But liked the video ! Big respect to the British Army !
I had that PT instructor back in 2003 and they weren't so polite and calm even then. I look at this and am shocked how soft this is. And us Women was treat no different as it should be you either get on and do it or train ticket home. It's the Army after all.
This is, perhaps, the most polite and respectful military fitness course in the entire world. I don't know if this is because it was on film and they wanted to appear all kind and such, but dang.
Now these are the kind of videos I've been looking for. I am aiming to join the infantry by this time next year and am joining the gym. Even when my work has been physically exhausting, I will still go to the gym after to push my body to the max. I may be a female so the requirements are slightly lower, but I don't settle for a pass, only for excellence. Now I know more specifically what kinds of tests there are, I can test myself already to know what progress is being made. As my ex-raf tutor once taught us at college, never stop pushing yourself, even when you're out of breath and nauseous, and you'll excel
'Are FEMALES allowed to join the infantry now?' . . . . . . . By heavens man, it does appear so . . . .i do believe they have the vote too . . . . . .

But I do love people's reactions, like how dare we join the fight to protect queen and country and protect other countries xD

I enjoyed the footage brought back memories I thought it waa very informative the recruits were very good makes mw want to join up.I did my Training in 79-80 at Pirbright then went on to join 2nd Battalion Scots Guards. I made some great friend's we're srill in touch today 😀
Is it me or does this test look somewhat weak? I know it's just a fitness test to confirm that a recruit meets the minimum fitness standard to begin entry but wtf????
Might be because of the higher prevalence of overweight and obese youth. It's hard to find fit youth. It's easier to train them up once they are in instead of not even letting them start. The war machine needs body's.
british army fell short of man power under recruitment has meant its 7000 short of manpower even after cuts that were made....british army is no longer valued s under equiped and under manned and lost 100s of years of tradion to be politically correct about getting new officers from poor backgrounds as opposed to the normal boarding schools that had kept britain elite...
Brings back memories. Although very different from when I did this in the 90's. My distinguishing memory was Getting lost on the 1.5 mile run and throwing up on the grass bank at the end I was the corporals bitch for the rest of the day for that lol. I still came first with a time of 8min 10 sec. Was acceppted into the Royal Engineers. Happy days!
@Amy Thomas: Amy, maybe you should watch the do's and dont's video as the PTI hit the nail on its head by saying "If words are offending you, you really need to reassess what line of work you've chosen "...Also, it's not up to Fabziy to teach somebody how to conduct themselves on social media, it's common sense! in particular if you want to join the Army you should know how to conduct yourself. And if simple words on a social media platform have the power to discourage the (potential) recruits in their training then we revert back to the wise words of that PTI "If words offending you you should reconsider the career path you've chosen!" , simple as.
words people should take on not just in army life but in civi life as well, offence cn not be given, only taken by people that are not robust enough to deal with everyday life
I love that it’s not how good u r. It’s always bettering ur self if ur first great but the 13th person who is about to vomit and doing 110% is deemed better !
WarDaddy nonce how? So preparing to train a few years in advance so I’m in fitter shape and more prepared...hmmm that sure does seem like it’ll cause the standards to stoop
@@georgiamuir9477 Best thing to do. How prepared would you be if you were used to running 10ks and then doing walks with weights in a back pack. Ignore him
stretford reds right, I’ve been working out a lot for the last few weeks and I’ve seen a big improvement in my strength, which is present when lifting weights, doing push ups and sit ups. I’ve also been going for jogs after my breakfast and I can now do around 3km, might not be much but it’s a big improvement and is only getting better with each day! :)
@@georgiamuir9477 3K regularly is a good start. The army selection test is a mile and half so that is a similar distance. I'd carry on what you are doing. Don't do too much or you might stop in a few weeks. I find doing less but sustaining it over years is more rewarding because lets be honest, it can be boring and if you do too much you might stop. Throw in exercises like squats and do a longer run every so often. Joining the army cadets might be a decent shout as well for some basic experience
This is easy for Gurkha guys in nepal we used to carry 5 kg bag pack and run 5 km on mountain and next 2400m in 9:30. Gurkha are tough to trained such kind of harsh situations. I had cleared my every obstacle but couldn’t make in merit list.
Just remember everyone else will be too. Main thing to get your head around is being away from home. When its hard crack a joke, be the person who's looking out for others. If someone's struggling help them. Best advice i can give. Good luck 😎
i was there in the 1980s with the royal county of berkshire army cadet force pl 5 cippenham c coy, duke of edinburghs royal regiment. loved every moment. and not much has changed, part from some new builds.
Thanks FZ, biking I do a fair amount , but it hasn't made that much improvement on me, a lot of your routine is new to me but ill have someone to assist when im in session .many thanks D.
Wow, was here 18 years ago, seems like yesterday. gym and parade square haven't changed. PTIs not swearing 2 inchs from your face is different. i hated heartbreak hill, especially doing it backwards
I really want to join the Army, have done for many years but I got rejected because I broke my hip 5-6 years ago, sucks. Still enjoy watching military videos though
@@conorprice4229 Conor, they still need drivers, cooks and what not in the RAF. Once your in, the sky is the limit mate. All the services do a good job of training you if you are ambitious and want to join other branches... provided you are a good operator, keep your head screwed on and polish your boots.
We used to have 2 PT vest a red one and a white one. the white one was worn when we had PT in the Gym and that was for us to lay on the floor on our backs and push ourselves around on our backs cleaning the floor - the white PT vest were not so white afterwards. The next day we would have to show a lovely white vest again. We never had any type of washing machines or dryers - yep it was great fun.
My fastest 1.5 was 8 minutes 40 and my best 20 meter Beep was slightly under 13 12/8 I think. 1.5 mile is 9 laps around a football field Tips 6 laps at a fast pace 3 laps best effort If your running on flat road like army lads do generally when you see the last few hundred meters you belt It! My only tips for the beep test If they still do It Is make it harder for yourself when you train at home. Measure out a few meters extra (makes you work harder for every level 22/26 meters. One thing they do I think In the Court System Is they let you get to a certain level For example the prisons service and police force Is a 15m one but they let you get to level 7 or 8 first then stop everyone for 5 minutes then do the actual test. Some Public Services let you get tired before you do the tests. For the army mainly It's a slow jog and a slow walk for about a mile from what I've read and seen! Then they ask you to do the run! You can make It harder for yourself when you train at home before you go to the PFT Center. Running cross country up and down hill uses alot more fitness then normal flat road running! Measuring a few meters more when you do beep tests at home u can buy apps ect. Do fell running and jog places up and downhill (ben nevis, snowdonia, your local moors!).
I’m glad I came across your channel, I do miss pirbright.. been 3 years now, got my pti course in September... deffo going to use your channel when it comes to recuirtment.

I enjoyed the footage brought back memories I thought it waa very informative the recruits were very good makes mw want to join up.I did my Training in 79-80 at Pirbright then went on to join 2nd Battalion Scots Guards.
I made some great friend's we're srill in touch today 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video..like how you get your message across easy but firm...unlike our pti,s in jlr/rct(they had a job to do)the gym was a place in hell
It's all about respect, if you want it you've to give it 👍
Is it me or does this test look somewhat weak? I know it's just a fitness test to confirm that a recruit meets the minimum fitness standard to begin entry but wtf????
yeah i agree but you have to be fit to stay in, not necessarily to get in
Might be because of the higher prevalence of overweight and obese youth. It's hard to find fit youth. It's easier to train them up once they are in instead of not even letting them start. The war machine needs body's.
John coughlan it doesn’t matter what level there at they want to join and are ready to serve for the military, that should be enough
John coughlan they BECOME soldiers it doesn’t happen overnight. You can’t expect a new recruit to be at military standard straight away.
british army fell short of man power under recruitment has meant its 7000 short of manpower even after cuts that were made....british army is no longer valued s under equiped and under manned and lost 100s of years of tradion to be politically correct about getting new officers from poor backgrounds as opposed to the normal boarding schools that had kept britain elite...
Haha crazy, I had my first briefing with the guy that turned around too early at 11:28
Glad to see he made it, it'll be my turn soon.
Good luck! I bet he wished he had the same advantage watching my videos 😅
@@Fabziy thank you. I bet he would these videos do help alot.
@@kaineethan1709 Kaine we can be life partner 💖
I need to do this as a reservist roll just to relight the fire in me. 37.5 desk job is boring the life out of me.
very informative . Preparing for my selection on 1st october
@-KracN- thank you mate
Great video. Miss pirbright pt. Not been the same in unit
I could alway take you on a one2one lesson 💪
Brings back memories. Although very different from when I did this in the 90's. My distinguishing memory was Getting lost on the 1.5 mile run and throwing up on the grass bank at the end I was the corporals bitch for the rest of the day for that lol. I still came first with a time of 8min 10 sec. Was acceppted into the Royal Engineers. Happy days!
Wow
Please can you give me any tips?
As always good video. Thanks for these man 👍
Thanks for your support appreciated.
ah the good old "stand by GO!" when youve done something wrong or not quick enough lol
I've recently subscribed and your vids are the only thing keeping me entertained during lockdown. Keep up the good videos
@Amy Thomas: Amy, maybe you should watch the do's and dont's video as the PTI hit the nail on its head by saying "If words are offending you, you really need to reassess what line of work you've chosen "...Also, it's not up to Fabziy to teach somebody how to conduct themselves on social media, it's common sense! in particular if you want to join the Army you should know how to conduct yourself. And if simple words on a social media platform have the power to discourage the (potential) recruits in their training then we revert back to the wise words of that PTI "If words offending you you should reconsider the career path you've chosen!" , simple as.
words people should take on not just in army life but in civi life as well, offence cn not be given, only taken by people that are not robust enough to deal with everyday life
Well put Nat 💪🏻
simon illsley It cannot be said often enough 😂. I see you got the same name as that PTI, so u seem to have good sense too 😬👍🏽
Nat Nice I am the PTI
Kickass moustache 👍
I love that it’s not how good u r. It’s always bettering ur self if ur first great but the 13th person who is about to vomit and doing 110% is deemed better !
GREAT Job giving insight to future recruits buddy
Always look forward to your videos great work will definitely share👍👍✔
Hi nila❤
And the Great content continues ...Bless you Mate!!!
Stay tune for more!
I’m about to turn 15. Although I still have a few years I’ve been working on my fitness so that when it’s my time I’m ready! 💪
If you become a fan of running and regularly run 10ks etc for the next couple of years then it would make it so much easier.
WarDaddy nonce how? So preparing to train a few years in advance so I’m in fitter shape and more prepared...hmmm that sure does seem like it’ll cause the standards to stoop
@@georgiamuir9477 Best thing to do. How prepared would you be if you were used to running 10ks and then doing walks with weights in a back pack. Ignore him
stretford reds right, I’ve been working out a lot for the last few weeks and I’ve seen a big improvement in my strength, which is present when lifting weights, doing push ups and sit ups. I’ve also been going for jogs after my breakfast and I can now do around 3km, might not be much but it’s a big improvement and is only getting better with each day! :)
@@georgiamuir9477 3K regularly is a good start. The army selection test is a mile and half so that is a similar distance. I'd carry on what you are doing. Don't do too much or you might stop in a few weeks. I find doing less but sustaining it over years is more rewarding because lets be honest, it can be boring and if you do too much you might stop. Throw in exercises like squats and do a longer run every so often. Joining the army cadets might be a decent shout as well for some basic experience
This is easy for Gurkha guys in nepal we used to carry 5 kg bag pack and run 5 km on mountain and next 2400m in 9:30. Gurkha are tough to trained such kind of harsh situations. I had cleared my every obstacle but couldn’t make in merit list.
Joining Harrogate in September to hopefully end up joining the paras. Really loving these videos!
Have u passed Prac yet?
@@danielbaliga1487 No, Harrogate is an army foundation college. Once I've done 49 weeks there I'll go into Para training and do prac, p coy etc.
Thanks for watching also good luck on your course.
when’s your start date mate? i’ve got the 15 th but others i went to assessment with have the 23 rd
@@Smiffyplays I assume you're going for a role with a trade? Because infantry lads are going in on the 22nd. That's my start date too.
Thanks for posting these, I love your videos, I start at Pirbright beginning of September and I'm super nervous
Just remember everyone else will be too. Main thing to get your head around is being away from home.
When its hard crack a joke, be the person who's looking out for others.
If someone's struggling help them.
Best advice i can give.
Good luck 😎
3:51 that guy has a chest like Arnold
And legs like a fucking starvation victim..... who cares what your chest does if your legs can't even hold you up properly 🤣
Steven Haskell and the legs of a fairy 😂
😁 Did my basic at Catterick in 1977(old git)...wish our pti had been so cuddly and polite!
I was there in 1971, RAC. Lots of beasting😂😂😂
Always some bumhole that is slow and gets everyone beasted
I'm definitely the bumhole
i was there in the 1980s with the royal county of berkshire army cadet force pl 5 cippenham c coy, duke of edinburghs royal regiment. loved every moment. and not much has changed, part from some new builds.
I was on a cadet camp in literally that first barrack 12:32
How did you find it? If all of my information comes back right il be doing it in the near future
Joe it was really good but strenuous
“Shuffle down please”. How very polite!
I have my run in two days looking forward running next to you 😎
Thanks for watching, looking forward for that!
Kenny how is it going I want to join
I'm really learning from this New Fitness Test!!!
Hi henry💕
Amazing vid
Thanks a lot.
I've just finished submitting my application, Hope to see you sometime Fabziy :)
3:49 my man skips leg day
Thanks FZ, biking I do a fair amount , but it hasn't made that much improvement on me, a lot of your routine is new to me but ill have someone to assist when im in session .many thanks D.
I bet he's just being "gentle" with the new entrants until they're accepted for basic training!
The PTI's have adjusted their technique for the overweight snowflake generation.. or is it just those black pants that make their arses look big ?
Jonathan P ok boomer
Bet your fatter then a trout mate
Jonathan P piss off Jonathan
13:36 would have been beasted within a inch of his life for not trying until he could see the finish line. What an absolute whopper
I go for my assessments on the 28th of August, I can’t wait 💯
Good luck
How long it took for assessment date ??
Mine also on 28 th
Mine also 28 aug
I love these types of vids. New subscriber!!
Thanks for subscribing!
Fabziy anytime!!!
Wow, was here 18 years ago, seems like yesterday. gym and parade square haven't changed. PTIs not swearing 2 inchs from your face is different. i hated heartbreak hill, especially doing it backwards
Thank you for the videos 👍👍👍👍
When he called himself a bald headed freak hahaha
😁
0:30 He’s had more than enough of their SHIT😂
Good videos fabz🔥
Thanks😎
I think beep test has replaced this run...what happens when you dont meet your role standard with the beep test?
I really want to join the Army, have done for many years but I got rejected because I broke my hip 5-6 years ago, sucks. Still enjoy watching military videos though
Sorry to hear it Connor. My advice mate, join the Royal Air Force.
Deplorable D I dont have any GCSE's so I dont think I could do much in the RAF. Ill have a look into it though, why not
@@conorprice4229 Conor, they still need drivers, cooks and what not in the RAF. Once your in, the sky is the limit mate. All the services do a good job of training you if you are ambitious and want to join other branches... provided you are a good operator, keep your head screwed on and polish your boots.
Deplorable D Would my hip situation affect my medical like it did with the army?
Getting a little look of what to expect just applied a few days ago
Thank you! I have my assessment on the 24th
Moe's Tavern after documentation how long they took fr date
We used to have 2 PT vest a red one and a white one. the white one was worn when we had PT in the Gym and that was for us to lay on the floor on our backs and push ourselves around on our backs cleaning the floor - the white PT vest were not so white afterwards. The next day we would have to show a lovely white vest again. We never had any type of washing machines or dryers - yep it was great fun.
My fastest 1.5 was 8 minutes 40 and my best 20 meter Beep was slightly under 13 12/8 I think.
1.5 mile is 9 laps around a football field
Tips
6 laps at a fast pace
3 laps best effort
If your running on flat road like army lads do generally when you see the last few hundred meters you belt It!
My only tips for the beep test If they still do It Is make it harder for yourself when you train at home.
Measure out a few meters extra (makes you work harder for every level 22/26 meters.
One thing they do I think In the Court System Is they let you get to a certain level
For example the prisons service and police force Is a 15m one but they let you get to level 7 or 8 first then stop everyone for 5 minutes then do the actual test.
Some Public Services let you get tired before you do the tests.
For the army mainly It's a slow jog and a slow walk for about a mile from what I've read and seen!
Then they ask you to do the run!
You can make It harder for yourself when you train at home before you go to the PFT Center.
Running cross country up and down hill uses alot more fitness then normal flat road running!
Measuring a few meters more when you do beep tests at home u can buy apps ect.
Do fell running and jog places up and downhill (ben nevis, snowdonia, your local moors!).
my Dad was a chef there in the 70s.. I wen to Army Cadets there in the late 80s and worked as a K.P in D-Lines in the late 90s
3:24 good way to tare your biceps

I’m glad I came across your channel, I do miss pirbright.. been 3 years now, got my pti course in September... deffo going to use your channel when it comes to recuirtment.
Thanks mate, I would appreciate that, good luck on your AAPTI keep me updated.
Fabziy Rgr 👍🏼
More standing and sitting than my time at pirbright lol
See the girls sprinting at the end. Good effort.
I can't believe how out of shape people are today. They're all below mid twenties yet are all out of shape and gassing!
Like honestly...i'm a chubby guy and i started working out about two months now or so. Its really shocking how easy it is to be overweight nowadays....
I start my basic training on 25th August. This video really helped me out on what I should expect from the PTI and the staffs.
Andu Darlami bro how long it took for assesment date after documentation
@@johnjass4576 After or before selections?
Andu Darlami before selection
@@johnjass4576 it took around 3 months for me.
Had my assessment here 1st October, passed with an A grade, start basic in Catterick in February! Anyone else starting around that time?
How'd it go
@@handsomesquidward5160 now in battalion, loving life
"Gentlemen like me with a single figure IQ..." Haha! At least they're self aware, I guess!
Is this the test reservists have to do as well, Given that's an 8 week course over 4 weekends from memory?
Interesting to see what actually happens in pirbright hope to be one of those people soon
Seems basic army training has gotten very soft from when I did my training to join the black watch back in 1995
Mike10001977 This isn’t training, this is just a fitness test
Old bastards said the same thing when you were going through too.
They probably did but look at how the troops here are wrapped in cotton wool
Scottish regiment isn't it and I was born 1995 ☺
I’m not British but it is interesting seeing how other countries do their military training.
