Fitness Assessments

---

Want an honest and candid assessment of your current physical condition?  We can help.  An up-front fitness assessment is an invaluable tool used to help design a personal training regimen that is better suited for your individual needs.

Our fitness assessments include the following series of tests:

• Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Measurements

  We’ll run simple non-invasive tests to check your ticker to determine what level of strenuous activity is right for you.

• Body Mass Check

  This is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.

• Body Circumference Measurements

  Body Circumference Measurements are a simple way to accurately estimate a person’s percentage of body fat. The waist and hips are the most important measurements for determining potential health problems.

• Body Composition

  In physical fitness, body composition is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in human bodies. Because muscular tissue takes up less space than fat tissue, your body composition, as well as our weight, determines leanness. Two people at the same height and same body weight may look completely different from each other because of their different body composition.

• Cardiovascular Efficiency Testing

  A Treadmill Test is the basic test prescribed by doctors to check cardiovascular endurance wherein a subject walks on a treadmill for a constant monitoring of the heart rate. Here, they check for a peak heart rate and the time taken to reach it, as well as the time taken to return to a normal heart rate.

• Muscular Strength

  There are many types of tests for assessing muscular strength. Before beginning any training program, it is important to get a good idea of your initial strength level.

• Flexibility Test

  Flexibility tests are performed to determine the limberness of a person’s body and where they experience muscle and joint tightness.
