FITNESS ASSESSMENT DAY

The YMCA is committed to helping you achieve your lifelong fitness goals.  With this in mind, we are holding our annual Fitness Assessment Day February 22nd, from 9 to 12, by appointment. The series of interactive stations is designed to give you an accurate picture of your current wellness level.  You choose the number of stations to complete, do one or do all.  Stations include Blood Pressure, 3-Minute Step Test for Cardio-Respiratory Endurance, Body Composition Analysis, Flexibility Test, Upper Body Muscle Endurance Test

 

The assessment is for anyone age 18 and older.  You do not have to be a member to participate in this free wellness assessment.  You should allow 30 minutes to complete all the stations, and we encourage everyone to wear comfortable clothing to allow for physical movement.

 

YMCA Group Exercise staff administer the assessment.  Each station is a private interactive site with our staff, and your assessment results are confidentially shared with you.  A follow-up private consultation can be scheduled and recommendations can be made to improve personal wellness.  Call 435-0223 to make your appointment or stop by the Welcome Center today.
