Fitness Assessments + Body Composition Testing

• A series of 5 assessments with a certified RecWell Personal Trainer. 
• Includes: Bod Pod® body composition testing, muscular strength/endurance test, flexibility test and submaximal cardio test. All assessments are optional. Please note that the submaximal cardio test requires the trainer to touch your wrist to determine your heart rate.

A non-invasive air displacement body composition test designed to provide a picture of fat versus fat free mass. 

The Bod Pod® test is accurate to within 1% of hydrostatic weighing.  The Bod Pod® uses air displacement technology to measure fat vs. fat free body mass. 

Students, RecWell members and Limited Access members are eligible for Fitness Assessments, which include a Bod Pod® body composition test. Fitness Assessments and Bod Pod testing are not currently available to community members due to COVID restrictions on campus visitors.

Community members are not eligible for Fitness Assessments, but may purchase a Bod Pod test. 

A fitness assessment typically takes 45-60 minutes. A Bod Pod test typically takes 30-45 minutes.
