** FULLY UPDATED TO MATCH THE USMC 2017 STANDARDS **

The Marine PFT app is for the Marine who needs a quick and easy solution to calculate, log, & graph your U.S. Marine Corps PFT, CFT, & BCA scores.

The Marine Corps Fitness Program has two main components - The Physical Fitness Test and the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test (CFT).


MARINE CORPS PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST:


The PFT is a semi-annual evaluation. The PFT consists of three events: pull ups, abdominal crunches, and the 3 mile run. All PFT events will be conducted in a single session, not to exceed 2 hours in duration. Movement of Marines from one event to the next should allow adequate time to recover, stretch and drink water.

PULL UPS:

This event is not timed, your score is determined by how many pull-ups you can complete before dropping off the bar.

ABDOMINAL CRUNCHES:

Your score is determined by the number of crunches you can do in the 2-minute time limit.

3 MILE RUN

This event is timed, and your score is determined by how long it takes to complete the run.

In order to pass the semi-annual fitness test, you must perform the minimum acceptable performance requirements shown in the chart below. Additionally, you must have enough overall points to meet the 3rd class fitness requirements.

BODY COMPOSITION PROGRAM

The Marine Corps Body Composition Program is health and performance based, and not based on appearance. Marines fail these standards when their body weight and body fat exceed the maximum limits. Like the Marine Corps PFT the BCP is conducted semiannually.


MARINE CORPS COMBAT FITNESS TEST (CFT):


The CFT is intended to keep Marines ready for the physical rigors of contemporary combat operations. Individual readiness will be measured by requiring Marines in battle dress uniform to sprint a timed 880 yards, lift a 30 pound ammunition can overhead from shoulder height repeatedly for two minutes, and perform a maneuver-under-fire event, which is a timed 300-yard shuttle run in which Marines are paired up by size and perform a series of combat related tasks.

Each event will be scored and timed separately. Male and female Marines will perform the same tasks, but will be graded on different scales.
