PERSONAL TRAINER WORKOUTS
WATTS
is a program that targets a rate of effort equal to a desired number of Watts. The user may enter the
desired Watts resistance value in 1W increments between a minimum and maximum range based on the user’s
weight and working speed range.
METS
is a program that targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of METs.
WFI SUBMAX PROTOCOL (International Association of Fire Fighters)
is a submaximal assessment test used
by the International Association of Fire Fighters to determine fitness for fire department duty. The purpose is
to estimate a users VO2 max value. The score is based on the length of time required to reach the target heart
rate.
The test is comprised of a warm-up period, test period, and cool down period. The test varies the step rate at
fixed intervals and concludes when the user’s heart rate has reached the target heart rate goal for 15 seconds.
A score will be shown in the Workout Summary. The target heart rate threshold value is calculated using a for-
mula based on user’s age. At one minute into Cool Down a recovery heart rate will be sampled and recorded.
The user’s test time at which the heart rate exceeded the target heart rate and a calculated VO2 max value will
be shown in the Workout Summary. If a recovery heart rate value was recorded it will also be shown.

CPAT (Candidate Physical Ability Test)
is a test used to predict the ability to perform basic fire fighting tasks
developed by the International Association of Fire Fighters. The test is designed to simulate the critical tasks of
climbing stairs in full protective clothing while carrying a high-rise pack (hose bundle) and climbing stairs in full
protective clothing carrying fire fighter equipment. This test challenges your aerobic capacity, lower body mus-
cular endurance and ability to balance. The test starts out with a 20-second warm up period at a set stepping
rate of 50 steps per minute followed by the 3-minute test at a set stepping rate of 60 steps per minute.
