Fitness assessments can be excellent tools for determining baseline levels of fitness, and are crucial for developing individualized exercise prescriptions. They're also ideal for tracking changes that may have occurred through personal training over time. A typical assessment from GloboGym consists of basic height, weight, maybe blood pressure, and body fat, if you're lucky. Why settle for basic? At GetFhiit, our new client baseline assessment, and subsequent monthly reassessments, consists of 34 various measurements of body composition, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, anaerobic capacity, and cardiovascular endurance.
If you don't initially, and regularly, take client assessments, there is no way you can determine their initial fitness levels or monitor how they are changing over time; furthermore, you can't prescribe an adequate exercise prescription for any client if you don't have a quality baseline assessment on them.
Get assessed. Get FHIIT.
