Fitness Assessments
Looking to start an exercise program, but don’t know where to begin? Stop by the Wellness Resource Center and sign up for a total body fitness assessment given by trained personnel. These assessments will test the five components of fitness: cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition, and flexibility. The test results will give you insight to your current status and information to make new fitness goals. Stop by the Wellness Resource Center, or call (330) 941-2241 with questions or to sign up.
