Make sure you are in the best shape of your life. It's pretty simple. They run a lot at the beginning, so make sure your shins and ankles can stand the pounding. They transition to Crossfit (like it or not) very quickly, so be prepared for that. You don't have to do Crossfit before the academy to be able to handle Crossfit, but make sure you're in GREAT shape because the workouts are demanding. My suggestion would be to be able to run 3-4 miles, 4 days a week BEFORE you start the academy. Make sure you can do A LOT of body weight exercises, like push-ups and a lot of air aquats (hint, make sure your weight is down) as well. At a minimum, this class has 9 more months to get in shape (probably longer) before day 1, which is plenty of time even if you're currently out of shape, but don't wait until next year to start.
There is no secret method of graduating the SPA. Be in fantastic shape, make sure you are mentally ready to be uncomfortable at ALL TIMES, and never give up, no matter how bad it gets.

Almost like calling a local radio station saying you're starting the police academy on Monday...and believing academy staff would not hear about it.
I'm sure that never happened.
