Gym Test Passout (Week 9)
From foundation you are learning a "set piece" in the gym. Over the course of the the 9 weeks, you build up on activities done in the gm at week 9 you are tested on these activities and either pass or fail.
PT Supeirors are also picked before the gym passout, and wear red bibs during it.
For the gym passout you will do, a set of floor exercises facing th instructor who is stood on a dias. These involve pressups, sprints as a team and exercises on your spot. You are split into 6 lines, each man has his own spot.
You will also do 3-4 rope climbs up a 30ft rope, demonstrating your ability to climb and listen to instructions.
After this you will also do a circuit consisting of a variety of different exercises.
And usualy a lovely camp circuit, if you do crap or don't show best effort you will be going round a fair few times.
They may have changed it but this is what I did in 2003

Aye mate.
Right for the first 9 weeks at Lympstone you learn a structured routine in the gym that you did your PRMC tests in. There are several outside runs but the majority of phys is in here.
This culminates in the week 9 gym passout where as a troop you are deemed pass, superior pass or fail. The troop is marked by I think a PTI Sgt. It's basically a bastard of a circuit session involving sprints, rope climbing, stances and more running and is a hang out.
It's about 90 mins long and is basically a test of your fitness/PT ability up until that point
You start off with a warm up of jogging around the gym doing punches to the side, arms swings etc various sprints, basically like your PRMC warmups. You then go into "team games" which are sprint orientated relays basically and you double mark time in between, then comes a weird synchronised arm aerobics, and then pressups done to command.
This is the beginning lol!
Next come the ropes, (which everyone dreads) you are required to do two full climbs and a make fast. Then the troop does a 800m camp circuit. Once back in you go into the circuit proper, which consists of various jumps, pullups and shuttle runs, not too dissimilar to Gym test 2 of prmc.
You may then do another camp circuit or rope climb.
PT superiors, who are picked before hand, are watched even more closely and are obviously expected to more climbs faster or come first in the camp circuits etc.

The Swedish PT aerobics is all synchronised as a troop. All arm swings and foot stamping. Feels quite weird at first but definatley develops synchronisation and listening to commands. I'll try and find an example, quite hard to desrcibe. They are easy to do physically but the timing is the important thing which can take a while to pick up. They are done at the beginning just after the team games if I remember rightly.
If the troop fails stand by lol! That's very rare I think.
920 had a "pass" but our PTI said we deserved a superior. Think we started "slacking" on the sprints at the end. If a troop failed they would almost certainly do another passout later that week, if they failed that they'd be doing it in the mud lol!

I forgot what troop failed i think it was 929 or 930(i may be wrong) but they had to do it again the next day(Saturday).
Gym pass out is basically the whole week, On the Monday you do a 1.5 in boots and have a set time to do it in, on the Wednesday you have gym test 1(shuttle run press ups, sit ups and pull ups) and the Friday is assesment day.
My old troop 925 got Superior

Do you get assessed as a Troop or inividually or both?
If you get a superior pass what does it mean?
Are the guys wearing the bibs supposed to be the tops or are they classed as the average in the Troop?
Apologies for the detailed questions but there's obviously reasons behind it all.
Cheers in advance

Your getting assessed as a troop but also indervidually. If there is one person constantly letting the troop down the training team will have a word as well as the pti's.
The guys in the bibs are surpposed to be the fittest of the troop, if you end up being picked and wearing a bib you will be expected to excel through out the whole week.
A superior pass is the top pass you can get, it means that you excelled in the gym passout.
Hope that helps.
