Our degreed Exercise Counselors are skilled in
working with people of all ages, fitness levels and physical
limitations.
The Individual Fitness Assessment addresses your
past and current exercise habits and level of fitness. Following the
American College of Sports Medicine’s Guidelines for Exercise
Testing and Prescription, the Fitness Assessment evaluates the main
health related areas of physical fitness:
- Cardiovascular-respiratory function
- Body composition
- Muscular strength and muscular endurance
- Flexibility
The results of the fitness tests can then be
effectively utilized as a motivator for personal improvement and
reinforcement for fitness maintenance. We will provide you with a
detailed report of your fitness results and a personalized, safe
exercise program.
Whether you're an experienced fitness
enthusiast or a novice looking to get started, we can provide you
with a safe exercise program to help you achieve your health and
fitness goals. Discover how to lose body fat, improve muscle tone,
decrease fatigue, enhance your fitness performance, and gain
knowledge on exercise while working with our fitness experts. You
can receive one-on-one training with a fitness professional in a
private training room or join a few of your peers in the exercise
room while still receiving personalized attention from the fitness
staff. The staff will monitor your progress, blood pressure, heart
rate, and exercise form to assure safety and efficiency during your
work-out.
Rate Testing Knowing the minimum number of calories
your body needs is important if you're trying to lose, gain or
maintain your current weight. Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is
the minimum number of calories your body needs to support its basic
physiological functions. The use of the RMR establishes the
important energy baseline to design a program that helps you reach
your health and fitness objectives. This test requires only 30
minutes and cuts through the confusion over how many calories to eat
and how many calories to burn each day. Resting Metabolic Rate is
probably one of the easiest tests you will ever take. You simply
relax and breathe. The RMR Test is perfect for all fitness levels
and requires no exercise during the performance of the test itself.
You will have a one-on-one counseling session at the time of your
test to discuss your objectives and the results of your test.
Individuals who are at a moderate fitness level and
want to take it to the next level can benefit from anaerobic
threshold testing. Knowing your threshold allows you to achieve a
very high level of cardiovascular conditioning without the
discomfort and muscle damage of lactic acid build-up. In addition to
learning about your anaerobic threshold, you will be coached on
specific heart rate zones and when your body switches from burning
fat to burning glucose. Let us help you maximize your workout
routine so you can accomplish your fitness goals safely and timely.
