Comprehensive Fitness Assessment
This comprehensive fitness assessment, available to students, faculty, staff and their spouses, will help to determine your current level of fitness.
A series of resting and exercising assessments will help establish baseline measurements that can then be used to set goals, monitor performance, and assess progress throughout your exercise program. Following your assessment, you will receive a computerized, age-adjusted fitness profile displaying your results. Based on these results, a SPARTANfit staff member will work with you to establish a tailored 3-month goal-oriented fitness and wellness plan.
