Fitness Assessments

Comprehensive Fitness Assessment

The Comprehensive Fitness Assessment will give a baseline of your current fitness level and/or determine health and fitness improvements over time. The fitness evaluation includes tests to determine resting heart rate, blood pressure, aerobic capacity, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition (via BOD POD® analysis). The Comprehensive Fitness Assessment can be purchased for $20, and includes the BOD POD® body composition listed below.

BOD POD Gold Standard Body Composition

The BOD POD® body composition is the most accurate way to determine your body composition (fat mass/lean mass). This safe, non-invasive method requires that you wear a bathing suit or spandex clothing. You will also get results for your resting metabolic rate (RMR) and total energy expenditure (TEE) to help you determine how many calories you need to consume each day.

BOD PODs are done by appointment only and must be scheduled at least a week in advance. Appointments are available Monday through Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., depending on staff availability. When requesting your assessment, please include as much detail as possible about your available times.
