Why Take the EPFA

The military has regular fitness tests to ensure mission readiness. And there’s no greater mission than living life on your terms. 

Setting a baseline is critical for long-term success. The best way to track progress is to see how far you’ve come. This assessment, coupled with the Enriched Life Scale (ELS) survey, gives you a snapshot in time of your holistic health and wellness.

It helps you see how ready you are to run that local 5K, play soccer with your kids, or simply wake up and take on the day in the way you want. 

But this isn’t a PT test.

    NO FAIL

    Every score is a starting point. There’s no flag and no remedial PT. The results are your baseline to help you set fitness goals.

    MEASURABLE PROGRESS

    You can’t track how far you’ve come without knowing where you started. Use the EPFA to track your gains.

    BUILT WITH INTENTION

    Each movement was chosen for a reason to track 5 key areas of fitness and give you a clear picture of where you stand.
