Fitness assessments are a very important part of any exercise program. They provide you with a benchmark from which you can base future results or give you feedback about your progress. Fitness testing can help motivate you to continue your current exercise routine or perhaps indicate a reason to change your exercise program.

The tests that we use are proven safe and provide reliable measures. They will examine your current level of fitness and each participant will receive a complete report summarizing the results of each test. The report not only highlights your current status, but will also provide recommendations for future success.

Fitness assessments should be done periodically to determine where changes should be made in your current diet and exercise program. Every three to six months is a good interval for testing.

Currently, we offer the following options:

Body Composition

Body composition is a measure of the amount of fat in the body versus other substances, such as muscle, bone, water, and blood. The skin-fold caliper method is used to take these measurements. This test is for those just interested in percent body fat.

Comprehensive Assessment

An array of different tests that measure cardiovascular capacity, flexibility, muscular endurance and strength, and body composition. This option is perfect for someone looking to get a thorough fitness report.

Resting Metabolic Rate

The Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test will calculate the calories that your body burns while in a resting state. To know your RMR is to know your calorie requirement baseline. This baseline accounts for 60% to 75% of your daily calorie expenditure. So it's a vital number to know if you're trying to lose weight.

The end report will provide you with a specific resting metabolic rate (expressed in calories) and an estimation of how many overall calories you burn throughout a given day. It will also provide an estimation of how many calories you should intake to lose, maintain, or gain weight and how long it will take you to achieve your goal.
