Health & Fitness Assessment

Let one of our certified trainers provide you with a body-fat assessment, flexibility assessment, muscular strength and endurance measurements, and a cardiovascular fitness evaluation. Exact modality of each testing component can vary from member to member. The full evaluation takes approximately 1 hour. You will receive feedback on all your results including general exercise recommendations. We recommend going through an evaluation every three months to track your progress and maintain motivation.

Cost: $25 Members, $35 Non-Members

Body Fat Analysis
For this free assessment, the trainer will use either a a skin-fold caliper or a hand-held BIA (bioelectrical impedence analysis), to measure the amount of body fat at three different sites on the body. These measurements enable the staff to determine how much of the total body weight consists of body fat versus lean body mass (muscle, water, bone, etc.) This assessment takes less than 10 minutes. Receive feedback and general recommendations.

Personal Workout Plan & Program Design
Schedule an appointment with the personal trainer on duty to have a personal workout plan created for you! The personal workout plan consists of two sessions, one to discuss your goals and to complete an initial assessment and one for the trainer to take you through your personalized workout. The personal fitness plan will be ready a few days after your first appointment. Additional sessions can be purchased with the personal trainer on duty if you would like a trainer to take you through the personal workout plan again. Regular personal training fees would then apply.

The fitness assessment and exercise prescription will be provided for members who sign up directly with the personal trainer on duty, are cleared by the health screening and provide a physician’s medical clearance (if applicable). Appointments are not confirmed until you pay for the personal workout plan at Member Services.

Cost: $85 Members  $105 Non-Members
