PAT Testing at Anytime Fitness
For more information and preparation tips, please visit our Information Center.
You may take a Law Enforcement and Corrections PAT proctored by a Fitness Trainer at Anytime Fitness locations nationwide. You will be able to select a date/time that works for you, providing you more flexibility in scheduling options.
- Fitness centers may only conduct the PAT for Law Enforcement and Corrections candidates testing for Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. Other tests are not supported.
- Your PAT must be scheduled through PST to qualify - reaching out to the club directly may negate your test results, and require you to test again.
- Please review and ensure you understand the test requirements for your selected agencies prior to attending your test. It is your responsibility to be aware of and inform your test proctor of which standards you must complete.
- The cost of testing through this method is $139. This includes the proctoring fee at the facility, so you will not need to pay the facility upon arrival.
- This test is non-refundable. Reschedule requests must be submitted three or more days in advance of a confirmed test date. Fees may apply.

- Written tests may be administered in all 50 states. There may be an opportunity to complete the physical ability test (PAT) remotely, but the majority of PATs are completed in Washington State. You will receive additional information about scheduling your PAT upon completion of the written exam.

October 2025
COVID-19 UPDATES
5/6/2020 Update:
TESTING IN WASHINGTON STATE CANCELED THROUGH MAY 31, 2020
All pre-employment tests in Washington State have been canceled until May 31, 2020 unless government restrictions are eased. With recent updates, facility closures, and government guidelines, this step is necessary and could be modified at any time. The health and safety of our customers, our staff, and their families is of the highest priority.
We will continue to evaluate developments and make changes to this policy as necessary. When we do resume testing, there will be plenty of events for everyone to test. We are in regular communication with our public safety agency partners, assessing alternatives to the traditional testing model and our testing policies. Any future updates will be posted on the PST website and our Facebook page.
4/1/2020 Update:
If you have tested with PST in the past 12 months, there may be additional positions you are now eligible to add. Several departments have temporarily changed their testing policies due to the suspension in testing that COVID-19 has caused. Please login to your PST account and navigate to the ‘New Positions’ page to see what departments you can add! We will regularly update that page in your account as departments send updates.
FUTURE TEST REGISTRATION
We know that there will be testing in the future - we just don’t know when! We want you to be prepared for when testing begins again so we have created test events on our calendar that you can register for that will place you in a queue to be first notified. These tests are not “real” test events, they are essentially a holding area. You will be able to “reschedule” out of that event to any other event date/location at no cost. Registering now will also give you time to work on your Personal History Statement (PHS) so that your data will be ready and up-to-date to send to your departments once testing resumes.
To sign up for this placeholder event, select the June 15, 2020 test date in your category (police, fire, 911 dispatch, corrections, etc.).
