Our new Microfit tracking software will enable participants to view their progress using a four-page printout that will show how their score ranks against national norms within their age group.  When you come back six months later, the same assessment will be used, and will hopefully show an improvement from your previous scores.  This information will be stored within the software and be available each time you retake the fitness assessment. 

WHAT IS A FITNESS ASSESSMENT?

A fitness assessment measures an individual’s resting heart rate, blood pressure, body composition, circumference, aerobic capacity, local muscular strength and flexibility. 

HOW MUCH DOES A FITNESS ASSESSMENT COST?

A fitness assessment costs $15 for Westerville residents and $20 for non-residents.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO GET A FITNESS ASSESSMENT?

All accredited certification programs for fitness instructors, exercise leaders, personal trainers, and exercise physiologists recommend a basic fitness and wellness assessment for all individuals starting an exercise program. Fitness professionals need to get baseline measurements of blood pressure, body fat, aerobic capacity, flexibility and strength to properly administer a fitness program. Plus you’ll be able to track your progress. A fitness assessment could also help identify important health risk factors and in so doing can help people avoid chronic disease.
