Hey there! I’m Richard Crawford, founder of this ACFT calculator tool and website. With over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry, I’ve dedicated myself to helping soldiers optimize their Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) performance.

As a former Army sergeant and master fitness trainer, I understand first-hand the importance of combat readiness for our fighting force. The ACFT provides an objective benchmark for overall soldier fitness. I want to empower all of our military members to excel on this crucial assessment.

After my Army service, I became a certified personal trainer focusing specifically on physical training for tactical populations. I’ve helped hundreds of soldiers boost their ACFT scores through tailored programming, performance nutrition, and the right mindset strategies.

Throughout this journey, one knowledge gap I observed was a lack of understanding of the ACFT format, scoring methodology, and exactly how to raise scores systematically. To fill this need, I developed the ACFT calculator tool that is central to this website.

My Mission – Helping You Maximize Your Scores

My mission is straightforward – to provide every soldier with the guidance and tools to optimize their ACFT performance. This entails:

• Comprehensively understanding the ACFT format and scoring system
• Accurately evaluating current fitness levels
• Identifying strengths, weaknesses, and target areas
• Crafting a tailored training, nutrition and lifestyle strategy
• Tracking progress over time
• Continually refining inputs to boost scores

I believe excellence on the ACFT is achievable for any dedicated soldier. This website provides you all the knowledge required for enhancement in a simplified, actionable format.

As part of my mission, the key offerings on this website include:
