Fitness Assessment

Fees include 2 fitness assessments - one before the start of your fitness program and one after you have completed a fitness program (approximately 12 weeks after the first assessment).

Benefits of a Fitness Assessment:

• Providing you with baseline information needed to start a fitness program.
• Utilizing the information later to chart your progress during your fitness program.
• Increasing the likelihood of continuation of a fitness program.

Components of a Fitness Assessment:

• Body composition - administered by skin fold assessments
• Cardio respiratory fitness - administered with treadmill walking, running or bicycle tests
• Muscular strength assessment - administered with a push-up, crunch, and/or bench press test
• Flexibility assessment - administered with a sit and reach test

Customized Exercise Plan

If you are a self-motivator but need a starting point, a customized exercise plan may be perfect for you!   A 12 week plan can be customized to meet your specific needs, goals, and time constraints. This plan may consist of aerobic exercise, weight lifting and resistance exercise, flexibility exercise, and stress reduction methods.

Completion of a fitness assessment is required before a customized exercise plan is developed or personal training sessions are started.

Faculty and staff must be members of our fitness center ($100 a semester) to be able to use personal training services.
