Of the many benefits of fitness testing, the major use is to obtain the current physical fitness level of an individual. This is done by comparing your test results to other individuals of the same age and gender.

The physical fitness assessment includes testing the five components of physical fitness (aerobic capacity, body composition, muscular strength/endurance and flexibility). This confidential test will be completed by a Wellness Technician and will take approximately forty-five minutes.

Subsequent tests should be planned for the end and start of each new phase.  Prior to performing a physical fitness assessment, each member is required to fill out  the following paperwork:
