As a member of HealthWorks Fitness Center each member is encouraged to undergo a personal fitness assessment with Polar BodyAge System. This is a private one-on-one session with one of our experienced exercise physiologists or certified, and/or highly trained fitness staff members. During the assessment you will discuss all aspects of fitness which include: cardiovascular strength and conditioning, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. The information obtained during the assessment gives us a baseline record of your current level of fitness.
The Polar BodyAge System has a unique report called BodyAge, which tells an individual how their chronological age compares with that of their body. The more healthy their lifestyle and the more fit they are, the lower their BodyAge. Performing test on the Polar BodyAge system can quickly generate this report.
Polar BodyAge™ Assessment Includes:
Interactive Blood Pressure & Resting Heart Rate
Interactive Modified Sit & Reach Test (Flexibility)
Interactive Body Composition Assessments (Body Fat Percentage)
Interactive Strength Test
Interactive Body Weight
VO2Max Analysis (Cardiovascular Fitness)
Interactive Health Risk Appraisal Assessment
Nutrition Profile
Each time you come in to do cardiovascular exercise, you want to be exercising in your target heart rate zone. Each person’s target heart rate zone is calculated using the results from your Polar BodyAge Assessment. We will also take into account medications you are currently taking. During the cardio assessment, data is also collected to determine at which speed, incline, resistance, and/or rpms elevate your heart rate into your target heart rate zone on each piece of cardiovascular exercise equipment. We will also use this time to orient you to the different pieces of cardiovascular equipment.
