A fitness assessment addresses health related concerns and sets goals for new exercise programs. Physiological testing is also done to determine baseline measurements, identify areas for improvement, assess progression and educate the client.

The following dimensions of fitness will be tested during an assessment:

• Height and weight
• Heart rate
• Blood pressure
• Body composition
• Cardiorespiratory endurance
• Muscular strength
• Flexibility

These one-time sessions introduce new users to the equipment available in the FRC. A trained staff member will demonstrate how to properly use cardio machines and weight equipment, and can answer general exercise questions.

Orientations are not designed to prescribe exercise plans, but rather to assist patrons with proper equipment use. Orientations are complimentary; however, you must still register for an appointment.

Session duration

Sessions are one hour long for a regular personal training session. Express training is a 30 minute option.

Late policy

Sessions that start late will end at the original start time. If the individual arrives 15 + minutes late the session will be considered a no show and will be forfeited.

Cancellation policy

Client must provide 24-hour notice for any cancellations, otherwise the session will be forfeited.

Payment

All personal training sessions must be paid in full prior to training. Sessions must be scheduled 2 days in advance.

Proper attire

Athletic shoes and athletic attire (gym shorts or sweatpants and athletic t-shirt) must be worn at each session and the assessment.

Hydration

It is recommended to maintain proper hydration before, during, and after each session. It is also recommended that a small meal be consumed 60 minutes before each session to ensure adequate energy.

Discontinuing the session

It is the trainer's right to discontinue the session if he or she feels that it is of the best interest to both individuals. It is the patron right to discontinue exercise if you feel uncomfortable.
