Body Composition Assessment
(by appointment)
Timely and accurate measurements can have a positive effect on your health.
This assessment differentiates between fat mass and lean mass and allows
you to understand why clothes fit looser with only a small weight loss.
To protect your modesty and for accessibility of the measurement sites,
women should wear shorts and a sports bra (and a T-shirt if you wish),
and for men, a tank shirt and shorts. A tape measure will be used to take
a variety of body circumferences. Skin-fold calipers will be used to estimate
body fat percentage. Do not exercise in the hours prior to your appointment
for most accurate results. Efficient measurements can be quick and relatively
non-intrusive. Sessions are 15-20 minutes in length. Consider scheduling
additional appointments every 3 months. The accountability provided by
periodic measurements helps to keep you on track with your fitness goals.
All assessments are administered by a certified personal trainer.
Fees:
$10 Annual Member
$18 3-Month & Non-Member
Fitness Assessment
(by appointment)
This private session of fitness testing and evaluation will allow you
to find out what your current fitness levels are. It will aid in the development
of your exercise program by establishing baseline status and identifying
areas of health/injury risk. Avoid exercising immediately prior to your
appointment to assist in getting an accurate blood pressure and heart
rate assessment.
Assessment options include:
-
Cardiovascular
Endurance: Tests are performed on either a bicycle, treadmill
or step to measure current aerobic efficiency.
-
Non-Cardiovascular
Assessments:
-
Body Composition: Circumference measurements
are taken at various anatomical sites. A skin-fold caliper is utilized
to calculate percentage of body fat.
-
Muscular Strength/Endurance: Upper
and lower body are evaluated using bench and leg press machines, push-ups
and abdominal crunches.
-
Joint Flexibility: Specific muscle
group testing evaluates the range-of-motion of hamstrings, quadriceps,
hip flexors, shoulders, and lower back.
All men and women 40 and older will be provided with
a medical clearance form that requires a physician's signature prior to
physical fitness testing. All evaluations are administered by a certified
personal trainer. Sessions are approximately 1 hour in length.
Fees:
$25 Annual Member
$40 3-Month & Non-Member
YMCA Fitness Orientation (by appointment)
For those who are age 12 or older, membership to the Waldo County YMCA
includes the opportunity to have a complimentary one-time fitness room
orientation. This orientation is designed to assist members with basic
workouts and to familiarize you with the equipment. Members must complete
a Personal Fitness Profile (available at the front desk) and return it
to the front desk. You will then be contacted to schedule an appointment.
Your fitness orientation will be about 1 hour long, 1-½ hours if two people
are oriented together. Come dressed in comfortable exercise attire. Wear
athletic shoes, no street shoes please. We will review your Personal Fitness
Profile to ensure that your workout is safe and effective. Your orientation
will not be a challenging workout for your body, but rather a time for
learning proper techniques and guidelines.
