Fitness Assessment

---

This initial Fitness Assessment includes a series of fitness tests that help determine your current fitness level and provides a baseline with which to chart your progress.  The assessment covers all the components of fitness, including: body composition, cardiovascular  fitness, flexibility, and  muscular strength and endurance. You should plan on spending at least 30 minutes to an hour to complete your fitness assessment. 

Goal Setting

One of the first things we like you to do when join PRO Fitness is let one of our FIT PROS assist you in setting your fitness goals. The first step to starting a healthier lifestyle is to set and write down what you want to achieve. Why is this so important? Your goals give you something concrete to aim for—they set your intention. If your focus is on achieving certain goals, and your actions correspond to them, you will achieve those goals. What you place your focus upon, you will achieve.

Before Your Assessment 

Make sure to get plenty of rest the night before. If coming to us from work, pack your gym clothes the night before. Wear loose fitting clothes (jogging attire, shorts, training shoes, etc.) Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and coffee for at least 3 hours before your assessment. Make sure you eat something solid about two hours before your appointment. Avoid exercising on the same day, prior to your assessment. Exercise will elevate your blood pressure and resting heart rate - invalidating these measures. Please inform assessor if you are suffering from any acute respiratory infection or related condition.

During Your Assessment

During Your Fitness Assessment - the assessment is designed so that we can learn about your body’s strength and weaknesses by performing a series of evaluations. If at any time you feel faint, nauseous, sick, or dizzy, tell your trainer. We will immediately stop whatever we are doing with you. Your health and wellbeing is our primary concern! The objective of your first assessment is to give you a baseline from which to measure your performance. Subsequent assessments will provide milestones to help you evaluate your progress.

PRO Fitness Age

PRO Fitness Age is a fitness assessment program that inspires and motivates results oriented change. PRO Fitness Age provides a fun, user friendly and easy to understand fitness assessment experience. A 42 year old can have a PRO Fitness Age of 64 or 24, depending on how well they have looked after themselves. For example, if this 42 year old had neglected their health and fitness and their PRO Fitness Age is 64, this means they are performing at the same level as the average 64 year old. On the flip side, a fitness  buff who is 56, through his daily workouts, maintain the physical condition of an average 29 year old.

Ever wondered whether you’re aging faster or slower than you should be? After reaching the age of 21, your chronological age has very little meaning or relevance when compared to the physical condition of your body and overall health. Aging does not happen with just the rising and setting of the sun, but rather is heavily influenced by how you treat your body.

Strong Motivation 

No fitness program can get off the ground without motivation. Typically, the catalyst that causes people to change their habits and take fitness seriously is something personal. Maybe they didn't like the look of themselves in a photo, or maybe a recent health scare got them moving. PRO Fitness Age operates in a similar way. When an individual is provided with health information presented as a comparative age, these instantly understood results act as an impetus for lasting health improvements. PRO Fitness Age has given other PRO Fitness members the motivation to make the changes they need to get the results they want. PRO Fitness Age results help you to understand where you're doing well and where you can improve. You'll discover that knowing your PRO Fitness Age provides a tangible incentive to establish and maintain positive health habits.
