Our degreed Exercise Counselors are skilled in working with people of all ages, fitness levels and physical limitations.

Individual Fitness Assessment

The Individual Fitness Assessment addresses your past and current exercise habits and level of fitness. Following the American College of Sports Medicine’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, the Fitness Assessment evaluates the main health related areas of physical fitness:

• Cardiovascular-respiratory function
• Body composition
• Muscular strength and muscular endurance
• Flexibility

The results of the fitness tests can then be effectively utilized as a motivator for personal improvement and reinforcement for fitness maintenance. We will provide you with a detailed report of your fitness results and a personalized, safe exercise program.

Personal Fitness Training

Whether you're an experienced fitness enthusiast or a novice looking to get started, we can provide you with a safe exercise program to help you achieve your health and fitness goals. Discover how to lose body fat, improve muscle tone, decrease fatigue, enhance your fitness performance, and gain knowledge on exercise while working with our fitness experts. You can receive one-on-one training with a fitness professional in a private training room or join a few of your peers in the exercise room while still receiving personalized attention from the fitness staff. The staff will monitor your progress, blood pressure, heart rate, and exercise form to assure safety and efficiency during your work-out.

Resting Metabolic

Rate Testing Knowing the minimum number of calories your body needs is important if you're trying to lose, gain or maintain your current weight. Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the minimum number of calories your body needs to support its basic physiological functions. The use of the RMR establishes the important energy baseline to design a program that helps you reach your health and fitness objectives. This test requires only 30 minutes and cuts through the confusion over how many calories to eat and how many calories to burn each day. Resting Metabolic Rate is probably one of the easiest tests you will ever take. You simply relax and breathe. The RMR Test is perfect for all fitness levels and requires no exercise during the performance of the test itself. You will have a one-on-one counseling session at the time of your test to discuss your objectives and the results of your test.

Anaerobic Threshold Testing

Individuals who are at a moderate fitness level and want to take it to the next level can benefit from anaerobic threshold testing. Knowing your threshold allows you to achieve a very high level of cardiovascular conditioning without the discomfort and muscle damage of lactic acid build-up. In addition to learning about your anaerobic threshold, you will be coached on specific heart rate zones and when your body switches from burning fat to burning glucose. Let us help you maximize your workout routine so you can accomplish your fitness goals safely and timely.
