Description of Fitness Services

 

MicroFit Fitness Assessment:

MicroFit Fitness Assessment
A computerized assessment of the various components used to determine level of fitness. Basic MicroFit assessment includes a cardiovascular assessment, blood pressure, skinfold body composition assessment, muscular strength test, and a flexibility test. Various other tests are available via MicroFit at the request of the individual being tested.

 

Bod Pod Body Composition Assessment:

BodPod Body Composition Assessment
An assessment of body composition through the use of air displacement. The Bod Pod is a non-invasive procedure that requires the individual to sit quietly for approximately 45 seconds in a specially designed chamber. The Bod Pod is one of the most accurate measures of body composition available.

 

Consultation:

The consultation may also include some measurements that will assist the trainer in designing your personalized program as well as determining its efficacy.

 

Skinfold Body Composition Assessment:

Skinfold Compostition Assessment
A three-site measurement that is used to determine percent fat as well as lean body mass. Body composition is a useful tool in examining effectiveness of a fitness program as well as risk for cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
