Assessment Plus                                                                                                                                              

Fitness assessments address any health related concerns and set forth goals to start new exercise programs.  Physiological testing is also done to determine baseline measurements, identify areas for improvement, assess progression, and educate the client.  The following software is used to perform fitness assessments:

MicroFit:  Tests seven dimensions of fitness including weight, heart rate, blood pressure, body composition, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility. 

Korr Meta-check:  This metabolic testing software measures resting metabolic rate, caloric output based on lifestyle and daily activity, as well as energy/calorie expenditure during exercise.  This assessment is useful in determining an individual’s unique caloric needs and nutrition planning.

What to do on the day of your assessment:                                                                                                           

Do not exercise or consume caffeine prior to your assessment.  Water should be consumed throughout the day.  Wear comfortable clothing such as athletic shorts and a sports bra.  The trainer will need access to skin on the thigh, tricep, hip, and midriff for body composition testing. 

Price:  Student members $25.00, HPER members $35.00
