Welcome to the Barbara and David Gibbs Recreation and Wellness Center's fitness assessment page. A fitness assessment is a series of fitness tests that helps you or your private trainer determine your physical fitness level and aids in developing your personalized program. The fitness assessment can identify your strengths and weaknesses, which will help you set realistic and attainable goals. An assessment will aid in tracking improvement and provide the most accurate results if performed every 4 to 6 weeks. At the Recreation Center, fitness assessments may include any or all of the following areas of testing:
- Body Composition Testing
- Cardiovascular Testing
- Muscular Strength and Endurance Testing
