The "train like an agent!" angle is fucking hilarious. Nobody other than 9yo boys is going to fall for that
We have this for our national police force; it's not spyware, just something to help cut down on the number of applicants who fail physical fitness tests at selection and re-certification. Just bringing that number down a percentage or or two saves millions in wasted time and manpower over time.
They don't need something so blatant to spy on people's devices. But I guess the joke is too good to pass up.

Y'all are acting like the apps on your phone aren't already asking for stuff like location, microphone access, etc.

Once they see how many push ups I can do they won't care how many times I've watched Kimi Ni Todoke.
