ACFT Prep Gym Apparel for Army Combat Fitness Test Training

Military and law enforcement fitness tests have created a specific gym category: facilities and coaches running ACFT prep, OPAT prep, BUD/S prep, ranger school prep, CPAT prep, and POPAT prep. Candidates train for months to meet qualifying scores. The gym or coach branding becomes part of the prep program identity. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles ACFT prep gym apparel and adjacent prep program apparel with subdued tactical aesthetic and on-demand candidate ordering.

The ACFT prep apparel set

• Program tee: front emblem with program name, back graphic with the six ACFT events or motto.
• Performance training tee: moisture-wicking for actual gym training sessions.
• Athletic training shorts: full-range squat-friendly shorts for the prep work.
• Program hoodie: olive or charcoal pullover with embroidered crest.
• Pass-day tee: candidate-specific tee given on the day they pass their qualifying test.

Pass-day milestone apparel

Many prep programs hand out a specific pass-day tee on the day the candidate hits their qualifying score. The tee is a personal achievement piece, often with the candidate name and the date they passed. The on-demand model handles per-candidate variable text without setup fees.

Prep program revenue math

Piece	Cohort of 30 candidates	Margin	Cohort revenue
Program tee	30	$10	$300
Performance training tee (3 per candidate)	90	$8	$720
Program hoodie	20	$15	$300
Pass-day milestone tee	20 (who pass)	$10	$200
Per-cohort revenue			$1,520

A coach running 4 cohorts a year clears about $6,080 in apparel margin.

Subdued aesthetic for prep programs

Prep program apparel reads better in subdued tactical colors than civilian gym colors. Candidates training for military or law enforcement entry tend to prefer olive, coyote, charcoal, and black over the standard athletic palette. The apparel that fits this community looks more like military PT gear than CrossFit box merch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the program tee carry the actual ACFT event icons on the back?

Yes. The six events (deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck, 2-mile run) translate well to icon-based back graphics.

Can pass-day milestone tees carry the candidate name and date?

Yes. Per-piece variable text. Each pass-day tee carries the personal name and date.

Are we allowed to use official military test names like ACFT?

Generic test names are not trademark-restricted for use in apparel branding. Avoid using official military seals or service-mark logos unless you have explicit licensing.

How fast can a pass-day tee be ready when a candidate hits their score?

About a week from order to delivery. Many programs pre-order a base supply and personalize per candidate as they pass.
