Physical Fitness Standards for Agent Applicants - Testing Process

The physical fitness of OBN agents is vital in performing essential job functions. In some instances, agents perform job functions under dangerous conditions in which agents must be able to defend themselves and others.

OBN has a new physical fitness test which consists solely of a rowing test on a Concept2 Rower. All applicants must pass this test in order to proceed with the hiring process. Applicants who do not meet the minimum standard will be disqualified and not allowed to continue with the hiring process.

The minimum standard for all applicants is completing a 2000-meter row according to his or her gender and weight. The damper setting will be set to 5 for this test. 

A 2000-meter row is approximately 1.25 miles in distance and is a challenging test. Once you start the rowing test, you will not be allowed to stop until you have completed the 2000 meter distance. If you stop, you will be disqualified. 

Refer to the charts below to determine the maximum amount of time you have to complete the test. Round your weight up to the nearest ten pounds.

Please use this calculator to find the time for your weight and age:
