Before You Begin: Fitness Assessment

A fitness assessment is a valuable tool when your trainer develops a training regimen. We want to get to know you and your current level of fitness, so that we can make the best recommendations possible for your fitness program.

How to Prepare

Please come dressed in comfortable, active clothing with proper footwear. Avoid caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol in the 48-hour period before your consultation, as well as strenuous exercise and a large meal on the day of your appointment. In addition to this, make sure you are sufficiently hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

What to Expect

Your assessment will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. You will meet 1-on-1 with a trainer and go through a brief personal health history. This helps us to get to know you better and will alert us to any restrictions and/or concerns you may have.

Testing includes:

If you feel uncomfortable with any of these tests or are unable to do what is asked, just let your trainer know. Keep in mind; the more we know about you, the more we can help you reach your goals.

Your Comfort

If you desire a male or female trainer to perform your assessments, please request your preference when scheduling. Contact our Fitness Director Carrie Ann Drinville for currently available trainers and to help you in choosing the trainer for you to hire.

Returning from an injury can be a difficult and lengthy process. Your trainer will develop a safe exercise program to further develop the strength and flexibility from your completed physical therapy or rehabilitation. Your program will focus on exercises to prevent future injuries through increased body awareness.

Physical Limitations

This style of training is designed for you if you have had difficulties with exercise due to a pre-existing condition like diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, or fibromyalgia. Your trainer will develop a program to improve your overall health and daily life.
