About

This site started from the ground, not from a boardroom. For the past 15 years, we’ve been coaching NSmen through IPPT, NS FIT, and the realities of staying fit while juggling work, family, and reservist life. We’ve trained first-timers, repeat takers, uncle NSmen, and guys who swore they would “never pass already”. Many did, once they understood what to focus on.
Over the years, one thing became very clear. Most NSmen do not fail IPPT because they are lazy. They fail because they are confused. Confused about scoring, confused about timing, confused about what actually matters.

That is why this site exists.

The IPPT Calculator was built as a practical tool, not a motivational poster. It helps you see your score clearly, plan properly, and avoid last-minute panic. No sign-ups. No data collection. Just numbers that make sense.
The blog is an extension of the same idea. Straight talk about IPPT, NS admin, call-ups, fines, and mistakes we see people make again and again. No fear-mongering. No textbook language. Just things explained the way a coach would explain to you after training.
We believe NS fitness should be manageable, not stressful. If you plan early, understand the system, and train smart, most problems can be avoided.
This site is here to help you do exactly that.
