Training gear for the fitness tests
Equipment for the events the services test — the deadlift, rowing, pull-ups and running — each named by maker and exact model, with facts from the maker’s own product page.
How this list is made
- Named by maker and exact model. The facts come from each maker’s own product page, which is linked under the item with the date it was read (Oct 16, 2026).
- Listed for the test event, not the commission. No ratings, no claims of testing, no prices — check the current price on Amazon. No uniforms, insignia, service-branded goods or supplements, ever. How gear is chosen.
- Amazon links are affiliate links, each marked “(paid link)”. As an Amazon Associate, Rank and Pay earns from qualifying purchases.
- Not endorsed by any service. Neither the Department of Defense nor any military service endorses these products, this list or this site. The tests are scored from each service’s own tables, whatever equipment you train with.
- Every Amazon link is a search. “Search on Amazon” looks for the maker’s name and exact model. No item links to a single Amazon listing yet, because none has been checked against the maker’s model number. A search can also show other models and other sellers, so compare the model name with the maker’s page linked under the item.
