Fitness Assessment

Before creating or starting any type of workout routine, a fitness assessment should be done. A proper fitness assessment includes both subjective/qualitative information and objective/quantitative information. The subjective information should include items about your history - both medically/physically and generally. Information about your type of job/career, lifestyle, activities, hobbies, and medical condition(s) would be considered subjective information. Objective information, on the other hand, is data that can be measured or calculated. This includes body composition testing, cardiorespiratory assessments, postural assessments and athletic performance assessments. By combining both types of information, a personal trainer gets a comprehensive picture of your past and current situation to assist in developing a training regimen that is best suited to your individual goals, needs and capabilities.
