The personal trainer is used to train help up to the new "tougher" standards that will be taking effect. SWAT officers have regular physical agility and strength tests that they MUST pass to stay on the team.

I am paying someone to train me...in addition to the regular gym fee. The personal trainer is a large expense, but they trained me to pass the REQUIRED test.

Sorry, no luck. IRS Publication 529 states:
You cannot deduct health spa expenses, even if there is a job requirement to stay in excellent physical condition, such as might be required of a law enforcement officer.
From what you described, it doesn't sound like an education expense either.

I hope so. I want the SWAT team members to have all the incentives needed to get into the shape needed to stay alive on the job. And win the war against the bad guys in the meantime!
While you're at it (lifting weights) take your nutritional supplements. I am an associate for a company that sells nutritional supplements that carry a $1,000,000 guarantee to be free from any banned substances. They're also in the PDR (Physician's Desk Reference).
Email me if you're interested in trying them. They do help alot in the recovery time from lifting weights too.

I suppose you can make a case for it. Why don't you ask your tax consultant and verify that before doing it though.
