DROP-IN FITNESS SERVICES (FREE!)

• Blood pressure screening
   
• Resting Heart Rate
   
• Height / weight
   
• Body Mass Index
  This is a simple calculation that takes an individual's weight in kilograms and divides it by their height in meters squared. This is not a measure of fat mass, but is rather a tool used to assess how much a person's weight departs from the "normal" range. This assessment does not account for muscle mass, however, and should be used as a general guideline.
   
• Body composition
  The purpose of this assessment is to determine the ratio of fat tissue and lean body mass when compared with body weight. This measurement is taken via a 3-site skinfold (that is gender specific) in order to measure the fat stores in the body that are subcutaneous (below the skin).
   
• Heart Rate Training Zone
   
• Stretching / foam rolling techniques
   
• Proper exercise selection & technique
   
• Fitness orientation
  Orientations include an overview of facilities available, review of fitness policies and instruction on proper use of the equipment. 

*Please note: Drop-in services are available when an appointment is not in session.
