Not saying your put of shape, obviously I have no idea, just speaking from experience.
That is correct. If you ever saw Fox's, "The Academy" it was about cadets in the LASD academy. Some of the people (both men and women) entered the academy with the mistaken belief they could have the academy get them in shape. Most of them washed out as they couldn't complete the PT tests with the required points.

You must be in good shape prior to entering. When you graduate, you will be in great shape. I was in really good shape prior to entering due somewhat to my preparation for the academy, but primarily because I had played racquetball 7 days a week for 4yrs. and handball prior to that for 9yrs. When I graduated, I was in the best shape of my life at 26.
