As a former PT Instructor at the Boylston academy for two years, I have to say the pt is a joke. I was told that it has gotten worse, I am thankful that I am no longer associated with it anymore. As instructors we were limited on what we could do and not given enough time for the physical training of recruits. From my experience pt was 4 to 5 times a week, this is what you can expect:
first 8 weeks = push ups, inside cardio, in door sprints, trail runs (approx. 2 miles), road runs (approx. 3 miles) some weight training.
next 8 weeks = more push ups, weight training, inside cardio, possibly aerobics?, trail runs (approx. 3 miles) road runs (approx. 4 miles) sprints out door at the soccer field.
last 6 weeks = weight training, possibly runs upto 5 miles, and less pt toward the last weeks.
To some it up, master two mile runs, crunches, push ups and sprints. Don't worry anyone can pass the Boylston academy municpal police physical fitness standards, oh wait, their are no standards. Actually you can go to the academy and never pt once and graduate. I have personally seen it done. You are only required to pass the PAT (physical aptitude test) which is taken before the academy and the physical portion of defensive tactics. GOOD LUCK
