Services
Locker Rooms
Locker registration is available for all patrons during hours of operations.
Both the men's and women's locker rooms are equipped with shower facilities.
Towels and locks are not provided and it is asked that patrons supply their own.
Equipment Orientation
This service is recommended for those that have little experience using
fitness equipment. A trained staff member will introduce you to our cardio
and resistance equipment and review the proper use of it. Appropriate form
and technique will also be taught.
Fitness Assessment
This service entails the administration of physical testing to assess one's
cardiovascular and muscular fitness as well as flexibility. Once data is
collected an individual's strengths and weaknesses can be identified as compared
to normative data. With individualized assessment, an exercise protocol
can be designed for your specific needs. All tests are safe and
administered by certified professionals.
Exercise Prescription
A safe and effective exercise protocol will be designed for you in order to
obtain the maximal benefits of exercise. All patrons must complete a Fitness
Assessment to receive this service. Once completed the individual will
have three training sessions with an Exercise Science Student or Wellness Staff
member to ensure that the protocol is understood and used appropriately.
Body Composition
This non-invasive, private screening includes skin fold measurements that can
determine one's body fat percentage. The results of this test can assist
with the prescription of weight loss.
