The prospect of keeping up to 5000 defence personnel fighting
fit is a daunting one indeed.
From overseeing regular fitness tests and writing personalised
regimes for individual sailors, to running gruelling physical
training classes for elite fighting units such as the Clearance
Diving team, this job is not for everybody.
These tasks are reserved only for the highly motivated, most physically
tuned sailor in the RAN - the Physical Training Instructor.
The Fleet Base West Gymnasium has six such sailors in its employment.
They cater for the varying fitness levels of west-based personnel
and provide a wide range of services including adventure training,
departmental expeditions and TAG selection training just to name
a few.
