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 Nicole Barrett's Workout

The challenge will take place on 16 September 2025 in 7 PSP facilities across the NCR: 455 Blvd de la Carrière, Star Top, 101 Colonel By, CFS LeitrimNDHQ Carling Campus, Montfort and Coventry and will be inspired by CWO Nicole Barrett

How it will work:

  • All regular scheduled classes on 16 September 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.

AMRAP 25 min:

10 burpee
15 box jump
10 double DB devil press

*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.
