The Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge consists of a 500-yard swim, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and 1.5-mile run. The Fitness Challenge is an athletic competition with an overriding goal of promoting physical fitness and increasing awareness of SEALs and Navy Special Warfare/Special Operations communities. The Fitness Challenge is identical in nature to the Navy SEAL Physical Screening Test; the test SEAL candidates must pass in order to get into the rigorous training program.
The Fitness Challenge kicked off in Boston in 2007 and continued in 2008 in San Antonio, Los Angeles, Dearborn, MI, Chicago, and Atlanta.
The public Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge event will take place on Saturday, March 14 at ASU. To learn more about the event and to pre-register please visit www.sealfitnesschallenge.com. Registration is free.

The Phoenix Police Department will perform Physical Training (PT) with the SEALs on March 12 at 1:00pm and 2:30pm at the Phoenix Police Academy.
The Phoenix Firefighters “challenged the SEALs” to participate in their PT training in full fire gear — the SEALs accepted the challenge. This will occur on March 13 at 8:00am and 9:30am at the Phoenix Fire Training Academy. Media are invited to attend and participate in both days of PT.
