Anybody know if the Metro Academy uses machine or free weights?

The Metro Academy is for outside agencies which is why he started a new thread. Why do you ask about Metro? Are you heading there for the May class?

Does anyone know when in May the next academy is set to begin? Also, is this a commuter academy or stay-away? Thanks in advance!

I believe it is commuting only, but I could be wrong.

You'll definitely use free-weights in the pre-academy power. Additionally, the academy is commuter only; but because of the early start time (uniform inspection begins at 0545) you'll have no problem finding a parking spot on Jackson. At worst, you'll have to walk a block.

You will go home every night. You will get two hour lunches and after the fifth week things will get easier. At the end you will steal Smith's baton and paint it bright pink or send letters to Manilla about his big toe. If these two are still the instructors. Metro is a good academy. You will get CPD instructors.

The two hour lunches (as well as cutting out early) are relics of the past. I heard similar stories before the academy and found out quickly they have their set schedules for a day and rarely deviate from that.

Manilla is definitely still around, too.
