Fitness assessments
Fitness Assessments are a great tool for either starting an exercise program or evaluating your current routine. For those that are just starting to exercise, our experienced Exercise Physiologists will use the assessment to provide a guide for areas of concentration, as well as provide a baseline for setting your short-term and long-term goals. Based on the results, we will create a unique program based on your needs, expectations and what you enjoy. For those who have been exercising regularly, the assessment is a great resource for determining areas of focus, from which you will most benefit, as well as showing what you have been doing well.
