President Trump to Revive Presidential Fitness Test, Names Golfer Bryson DeChambeau to Lead Council
Trump to revive the Presidential Fitness Test. Golfer Bryson DeChambeau to lead the council crafting school programs for fitness and youth health.

According to reports, President Donald Trump is set to host a group of athletes including professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau at the White House on Thursday, where he will sign an executive order officially reviving the Presidential Fitness Test.
The initiative, which once served as a physical benchmark for American schoolchildren, is being brought back with a modern twist aimed at combatting youth inactivity and obesity across the country.
DeChambeau, known for his power-driven approach to the game of golf and intense personal fitness regimen, has been tapped to lead the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Under his leadership, the council is expected to develop comprehensive school programs focused on physical education, nutrition awareness, and overall youth health.
“The goal is to get kids moving again,” said a source close to the matter. “We’re looking at nationwide programs that blend sports, education, and discipline.”
The revival marks a nostalgic return to the days when students nationwide were tested in push-ups, sit-ups, and mile runs. However, the new version of the test is expected to include modernized fitness benchmarks and inclusive participation metrics to meet the needs of today’s diverse student population.
More details on the executive order and fitness rollout plan are expected during Thursday’s ceremony.
