e’re back at it again. The AFM FITTEST team is excited to put on this truly unique, community fitness
field day. We cannot thank our sponsors, competitors, spectators, and volunteers enough for your continued
enthusiasm and support for this event.
Now in its fourth year, the AFM FITTEST continues to grow
in all aspects. Individual participation has grown 30 percent year over year, and the team divisions have more than
doubled. More than 40 companies have since come together
as sponsors to help make this day possible. We believe these
stats to be evidence that we’re staying true to our mission of
getting people active.
A few improvements to note include the flexibility in the
Team Division and the addition of the Heroes category.
Teams are now comprised of two, three, or four people of
any gender and age over 18. This should help some of you
better form your team. Plus, the distribution of tests across
your teammates is at your discretion. As a team, you must
complete all 12 tests, but there’s no requirement on how
many each team member must do. For example, a team of
two can split the tests of evenly, each doing six tests. Or one
member could do just one test, and the other do the remaining 11. The Heroes Division is an exciting new team category
reserved for our active and veteran military personnel, as
well as Police, EMT, and Fire Departments.
While finding the 10 fittest individuals in Austin is part of
our mission, I want to reiterate that our bigger objective is to
encourage everyone to participate in fitness. We realize that
12 fitness tests can be intimidating. We understand the competitiveness that comes with testing your fitness all the while
amongst a group of your peers. The idea of participating
can be unfathomable for some. That said, I encourage you
to think about the importance of physical fitness, discipline
of making a plan to train, and the satisfaction of accomplishing something. Whether it be the AFM FITTEST or any other
active event, I hope that you take the next step, hop, and trot
towards an active lifestyle.

how it
works
Athletes will move through the 12 tests, in
order, with their assigned division. (See Test
Descriptions page.) Each division has an assigned
heat leader. As athletes approach a test, they
will be given instructions regarding procedures
from the lead judge at each event. At each event,
test judges will take appropriate measurements
for a raw score, which they will record on a card
along with the athletes’ bib number. After each
test, athletes must sign their written scores before
proceeding on to the next. Initials should include
first and last name, as these will be used as a point
of identification to match athletes with their raw
scores. Note that the 40-Yard Dash, One-Mile, and
Interval Run will not require acceptance of a score,
as these are computer generated. Test judges will
turn in cards to the appropriate officials—athletes
will not take scorecards with them at any point
during the day.
Some age groups may be combined for efficient
heat scheduling purposes, though age group
rankings, 5-year recognition, and awards for
competitive athletes will still be given separately.
Please stay with your heat and do not stop to visit
with spectators in between tests. This is to respect
the other athletes in your division, make sure
you hear the important instructions from the lead
judge, and avoid causing delays.
Once a heat is finished, participants are welcome
to come and go as they please.
Spectators are free to move from one test to
another to cheer on participants, much like in a
golf tournament. Please keep children with you at
all times for their and the athletes’ safety.

Getting
THERE
Entering Camp Mabry requires a valid ID, whether you are an athlete or spectator.
Plan to stop at the guard shack at the Camp Mabry entrance and show your ID as you
come onto the grounds. Shirts are also required.
Parking: Refer to the map in this guide for parking areas, and follow signs and
volunteer directions when driving through Camp Mabry (watch for athletes on the
run course!).
CHECK-IN: Athletes must check at least 45 minutes before heat start. All athletes
must meet under the Red Bull Start Zone at least 15 minutes before their heat is
scheduled to begin. Please note: You are responsible for properly warming up and
preparing for the start of the competition, so if you need extra warm-up time, make
sure to check in early to allow for that.
Make sure you have your bib on when you get ready for the AFM FITTEST; it has
important information for completing your events properly. Each athlete’s bib will
have his or her wave and lane assignments for specific events written on it. Once
your division is ready to begin a test, you must line up when your wave (assigned by
letter) is called to the start in the correct lane (assigned by number) at the 40-Yard
Dash to receive the correct score. There may be empty lanes due to athletes who
are “no shows” on event day; please do not make any changes—ONLY line up in
your designated lane. Also, the letter written on the bib designates the waves that
will start in order at each test station. If the lead judge calls your wave to the start of
a test, you must go to the start at that time.

Scoring
As each athlete completes a test, he will receive a specific score,
which is a number based on actual performance reflecting
measurements of distance, time, or number. (Scoring information for
each test is detailed online at afmfittest.com). That is the raw score,
which can be used each year to directly compare athletes’ results to
show progress and improvement. All athletes will receive a raw score.
The raw score is converted into a rank per test, with the person who wins that test receiving a ranking of “1” within their field of gender. Then
rankings will be separated for each division that will determine the ranking within each specific division. The lowest rank within a division will
be the winner of that division. This could be “1” or the first lowest rank appearing in that division could be “14” depending on where the lowest
ranking competitor for that division (age group) appears in the overall gender field.
To determine the “AFM 10 FITTEST,” raw scores are ranked in the overall field and then rankings are separated within each competitive division. Using
the lowest rank, one man and one woman per competitive division with the best score will be selected as members of the “AFM 10 FITTEST.”
To determine the Male and Female Overall winners, the raw scores are then ranked against the entire field of same sex competitors. There will be one
Male Overall winner and one Female Overall winner with the best score, and this top man and top women will be awarded the title of “AFM FITTEST.”
Definitions of terms:
Wave: subgroup within an athlete’s division
Test: : the individual exercise (ex. Standing Med Ball Toss)
Heat leader: guide assigned to lead the specific group through
all 12 tests
Division: an athlete’s age and gender group (ex. 30-39 Females)
Field: all athletes of the same gender, regardless of age
Raw score: specific results per test (ex. 8:32 for the One-Mile Run)
Rank: position relative to others (5 out of 25)
Ties:
It is possible to have multiple tie scores on some tests. In that event,
multiple, same rankings are given and the next competitor will receive
the rank which reflects the next best score.
Example: Three people tie for first place in the Precision Throw with a
raw score of ten, and the fourth person has a raw score of eight. Each
of the three who had the best score (ten) will receive a test rank of “1”
(they are all in first place) and the next competitor will receive a test
ranking of “4” (she is in fourth place).
No Attempt:
If a competitor chooses not to attempt a test, he will receive a score of
“0” for raw score in that test, and will be last in his division. Scores for
tests attempted are given.
Attempts but Fails:
If a competitor attempts the test but is unsuccessful, he will receive a
raw score of “0.01” and a rank better than any competitors who Did
Not Attempt.
Example: An athlete tries to complete a pull-up but is unable to get his
chin above the bar. He is given a raw score of 0.01, which is then used
to calculate his rank in the heat. There are 50 people in the heat and
all attempted; none were disqualified. Therefore, his rank is 50.
60 • A FM F I TTEST. c om • 0 5. 2015
Test judges: officials at each test who take measurements for
raw score
Lead judge: official at each test that oversees the test judges and
makes final decisions
Disqualification (DQ):
In the case that a competitor or in the Team event has a failed attempt
or miss and is disqualified, she will receive a raw score of 0.01 and a
rank better than any competitors who Did Not Attempt. In the case
that all competitors attempted the event, DQ will be ranked last.
Example: An athlete does not properly execute any burpees, though
she goes through the motions for the entire minute. A score of 0.01
will be assigned as the raw score. There are 30 people in the division
and one person was a No Attempt (scoring 0), so the athlete who
attempted and received a DQ ranks 29 for that test.
Disputes:
If an athlete declines to initial a raw score on the scorecard or has
an issue with some aspect of the test, the matter should be brought
before the lead judge at that specific test at the time it occurs.
The lead judge will then make the necessary and appropriate
consultations to come to the best recourse. The athlete should stay at
that test station until the issue is resolved; disputes will be settled at
the test station and not later in the event or after its completion.
Example: An athlete feels that a test judge did not properly count the
number of burpees in the time allotted and does not initial the results.
The test judge presents the scorecard to the lead judge, who consults
with the athlete and test judge as appropriate in order to work a fair
solution for all involved.

Stronghorn Fitness Vertical Jump
Stand with feet parallel and planted behind designated start
line. Hold a six-pound medicine ball with both hands at the
center of the torso, with the medicine ball in contact with the
body. Perform a chest pass for maximum distance, using both
hands with a two-handed release. You may use hips, back, and
knees, though rotation of the torso and shoulders is not allowed. Feet must remain planted at all times (heels may come
up but you may not step forward and toes must remain in
contact with the ground); if you fall forward, lose complete contact with the ground with one or both feet before or during the
toss, or do not toss with both hands, you will be disqualified.
Distance from the start line to where the ball initially makes
contact with the ground is recorded. Best of two attempts is
scored. You must initial your score for the judge before leaving
the test area.

score for the judge before leaving the testing area.
Orange Theory Fitness 40-Yard Dash
Start in a static position behind start line in whatever position you choose, though three-point
stance is recommended. Listen for the firing of the auditory start pistol; timing starts when it is
fired. If your foot crosses the start line before the auditory start pistol is fired, you will be disqualified. If there is an electronic failure or false start in the run group, the entire group will be reset for
another race start. If you or anyone false starts a second time, he or she will be disqualified. Run
for 40 yards on the grass surface. Your finish time is capture electronically as well as photographically and is measure when your torso crosses the finish line. You will get one attempt, which is
recorded in seconds and to two decimal points by the Timing System Director and the official
computerized system. Note: there will be a warm-up area for use prior to testing.

Pure Barre Pro Agility Shuttle
Start by straddling the center start/finish line with
one hand on the line and shoulders square to the
timing judge. From that position, the athlete starts
the test by running 5 yards in one direction and
touches the line with the hand that matches the
chosen direction (ex: athlete runs to right side line
and touches hand with right hand). The athlete
then runs ten yards in the opposite direction,
touching the far line with the hand that matches
that direction, then returning back 5 yards to run
through the start/finish line. The timing judge will
start timing when the athlete lifts a hand from line
at the start and stops timing when any part of the
torso crosses the finish line. The athlete is given
the best score of two attempts.
Fitmob Precision Throw
Start behind line. You must remain behind
the line at all times, though you may back up
behind the line if you wish. Using whatever
throwing technique you desire, throw a regulation-sized softball through the center of a designated standing and secured target placed at
a distance of 25 feet. The center of the square
target is 30 ½ inches from the ground, and the
dimensions of the target are 13 ½ inches wide
by 19 inches tall. Balls that pass through the
target strike zone opening are counted as good
for 2 points; judges will call out “strike” for every
ball thrown through the designated target strike
zone. The judge will also call out “target hit”
every time any part of the target is hit but does
not pass through the strike zone and scores 1
point for that throw. Score is best out of ten attempts. You must initial your score for the judge
before you leave the testing area.
ONNIT Mystery Test 1
The mystery tests will be revealed on
event day and be visible on the course.
The lead judge at each mystery test
will explain the mystery test guidelines
and scoring as each heat enters the
mystery test station. In choosing these
tests, consideration has been taken so
that there is not a significant learning
factor involved in proper execution of
the tests. These tests give an additional
opportunity for scoring.
The two Mystery Tests will be revealed on the Day of
the AFM FITTEST; there will NOT be an opportunity to practice
the two Mystery Tests so that every competitor vying for the title
of “AFM 10 FITTEST” has equal preparation. All 12 tests will be
used to compile a competitor’s overall score.

Eastide Austin Elite Fitness Pull-Ups
Start in a vertical hanging position, arms fully extended, and body in a vertical line. Palms face outward
and are shoulder width (or greater) apart. If you start with your knees bent, they must remain in that
position throughout the entire repetition. Pull body upward without kipping, swinging, or kicking your
legs during the upward movement until your chin is even with or goes above the bar and then return to
the fully extended, vertical hanging position as seen at the start for each good repetition. Kicking will be
judged as either knees or hips changing from an extended position to more than 90 degrees during the
pulling motion. Judges will call out “no count” for repetitions that are not scored (you can ask for a quick
explanation, but both hands must remain on the bar while you do so), and the test continues until you release one or both hands from the bar. While re-gripping is allowed, hanging from one hand for more than
three seconds will cause the judges to stop the test and record your last repetition. Score is total number
of good repetitions counted. You must initial your score for the judge before leaving the testing area.

Castle Hill Fitness Hand Grip
CrossFit Central Burpees
The Burpee measures total body strength, endurance, and power. Athlete
starts at the common start point, which is 3 feet in front of a 15-pound weight
plate, until the the sound of the starting whistle. Athlete takes the entire body
to the ground; the chest must touch the ground in front of plate. Athlete
jumps up in front of plate and landing with both feet, left and right, entirely
on top of the plate. NOTE: No part of either foot can touch the ground while
standing on the plate. While standing on the plate, the athlete comes to full
extension in the hips and shows control. To complete one good repetition,
the athlete then jumps off the plate, landing back in front of the plate. Judges
will score a good repetition based on completing the following —landing in
front of the plate with chest touching the ground, jumping onto the plate with
both feet on the plate, standing upright on the plate while showing the hips
completely open in full extension, and jumping back off the plate to return to
the front—before returning body to ground to begin the next repetition.

Stand and hold the dynamometer in your dominant
hand, with feet planted in either a bilateral or staggered stance. You must use the same hand for both
attempts and may not practice with either hand prior
to test. Extend your arm straight out from your shoulder, with shoulders square to the judge. Squeeze the
dynamometer with a consistent, maximal effort for
no more than two seconds. No jerking or pulsing is
allowed, and stepping or lunging forward will cause
you to be disqualified; once your feet are planted, you
can’t move them. Judges will read the results from the
dynamometer, which is listed in pounds with no decimal points. Score is highest number of two attempts
on the same hand. You must initial your score for the
judge before you leaving the test area.
