Balanced Fitness Assessment
Establish your strengths and weaknesses
The focus of all programmes will always be correct technique and using the correct exercises for you therefore we will begin by assessing your strengths and weaknesses.
Every Balanced Fitness client goes through a health and fitness assessment prior to commencing training. The assessment is straight forward and relatively painless and is vital to determine your current level of movement and whether you can safely commence training.
Unlike other fitness assessments, at Balanced Fitness we need to know how you move and what types of exercises you are capable of then we can worry about how many repetitions at what weight and what heart rate levels are appropriate. Using an assessment in this way places your physical abilities at the forefront of how we progress your workouts.
Where appropriate assessments can include the following;
- Health and Medical questionnaire
