On March 5, Kamloops This Week editor Christopher Foulds, 52, reporter Jessica Wallace, 32, and Kamloops Coun. Mike O’Reilly, 37, took the new fitness assessment, which is called the Community Services Officers’ Physical Abilities Test (CSOPAT). All three participants admitted to being out of shape amid the COVID-19 pandemic. None had trained for the test nor had taken it before. City staff demonstrated the test elements, which include running up and down a set of stairs six times, zigzagging and jumping through 30 metres of cones and three 18-inch hurdles, pushing and pulling 50 pounds of weight via a simulator 12 times, 10 burpee-vault-situp-repeats and a 70-pound bag carry.
