The Chiefs’ Workouts

Join the PSP Fitness team for a series of fitness challenges featuring workouts inspired by CPO1/CWO and other CAF members in the National Capital Region.  

Our PSP Fitness and Sports Instructors (PSP FSI's) will lead a Chiefs workout, a friendly competition to encourage maximum participation in physical fitness across all formations/organizations located in the National Capital Region.

CWO Frederick Lavoie's Workout

The challenge will take place on 11 February 2025 in 6 PSP facilities across the NCR (Leitrim, Coventry, Startop, 101 Colonel By, 455 Blvd de la Carrière, NDHQ Carling) and will be inspired by CWO Frederick Lavoie

How it will work:

  • All regular scheduled classes on 11 February will be diverted to the Chief Workout.
  • All interested members are to register through PSP “special events” (using a DWAN computer) for a time and location to conduct the workout.
  • PSP FSI's will be the OPI for the event and will run it at the prescribed time and location.


CWO Lavoie's Workout:
AMRAP 26 minutes: 
Run 200m 
10 Goblet squats 
20 box jumps overs 
30 lateral jumps over DB 

Modified options are available to suit everyone! 

*The challenges are open to CAF members, DND and NPF employees, but civilians will need to sign a liability form and cannot participate during peak hours: 0630-0800 and 1200-1300.

Hope to see you there in great numbers!
