Body Fat Assessment

Skin Folds

The purpose of this assessment is to determine the percentage of body fat by measuring skinfold thickness. This measurement is taken via a 7-site skinfold (that is gender specific) in order to measure the subcutaneous fat (below the skin) in the body. Multiple sites are analyzed given the variability in fat distribution from site-to-site and person-to-person.

Body Circumference

The purpose of this assessment is to determine thickness using a tape measure. These measurements are taken at 9 sites including the chest, hips, thighs, and biceps in order to measure the circumference of the body as a method to track progress and body re-composition.

Full Fitness Assessment

Before beginning an exercise program, a Fitness Assessment with the MicroFit® software will be conducted to provide a baseline of your current fitness level. The results of these tests, along with the development of personal fitness goals, will help us design a safe, effective, and individualized fitness program for you. The MicroFit® fitness Profile includes tests to determine steady state heart rate, blood pressure, body composition, aerobic capacity, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility.

Introduction to a Session

After the fitness assessment has been conducted and a session package has been purchased, you and your Certified Personal Trainer will begin meeting to help you reach your fitness and wellness goals. Every session will be an hour and consist of a proper warm up, workout designed by your trainer specifically for you, and a proper cool down.
