Kinesiologist-designed fitness programs for police, corrections, military and wildland fire candidates. We test you against your standard, train the gaps and retest before test day.

Standards change and can differ between agencies. Always confirm the current requirements with the agency you're applying to. Official PARE, COPAT and POPAT tests are booked through the Canadian Criminal Justice Academy. All other official tests are arranged by your agency. Wolfhound Health isn't affiliated with the hiring agencies listed above.
We talk through your test, your date, your training history and any injuries.
We measure the fitness your test demands, so you know where you're ahead and where you're short.
Your program arrives in the app and targets your weakest components first.
We retest every block, then plan your final week, warm-up and pacing for test day.
The same evidence-based approach we use for rehab clients, aimed at a pass/fail standard.
Test prep works with any plan. Prices are per four-week block, GST included.
Yes, for three of them. Official PARE, COPAT and POPAT tests are held in the same building through our affiliate, the Canadian Criminal Justice Academy, and Quinn Croal is the tester. You train and test in the same familiar space, with no surprises on the day.
For A-PREP, WFX-FIT and CAF FORCE, we run practice tests on the same equipment used for official testing, so you know exactly where you stand. Practice tests are booked separately from your training program, and your official test is arranged through the agency you're applying to.
No. Your training is a fitness program, not a rehearsal of the test course. We use strength, functional and cardiovascular training in the gym to build the physical ability each test component demands. If you want a run-through on the real equipment, book a practice test separately.
Ideally 8 to 12 weeks, which gives you two or three training blocks. If your date is sooner, we focus first on the components where you're furthest from the standard.
Yes. Tell us where you lost time or which component stopped you, and we'll build your next block around it before your retest.
Yes. Blueprint and Coached are delivered through the Wolfhound coaching app, so you can train at your own gym anywhere. Hybrid adds a weekly in-person session in Calgary.
Assessments and exercise therapy by a Professional Kinesiologist are covered by many extended health plans, and you get an itemized receipt to claim. Coverage varies, so check your plan before you start.
Current or retired military, police and firefighters. It applies to your first four-week block or your first assessment. Mention it when you book.
Thirty minutes, no commitment. Tell us your test and your date, and we'll tell you where to start.
