Fitness Assessments + Body Composition Testing
Know Your Numbers!
Fitness Assessments offer a picture of overall physical health by measuring muscle strength/endurance, flexibility, body composition, and submax cardiorespiratory fitness. Standardized assessment protocols are used to measure your numbers against the baseline of your age/gender. When you know your numbers, you can specifically tailor your program to your needs, measure your progress, and identify any areas needing improvement.
