FITNESS ORIENTATIONS 

Whether you are a rookie or an all-star in the gym, when starting out at a new facility it is a good idea to make sure you are familiar with all the equipment available to you.  To help ensure a safe workout environment, we recommend that all new members take advantage of a free orientation.  This is a brief look at the facility and the do's and don’ts that go along with it.  You will be shown the equipment available and how to use them.  Orientations are available by appointment only, so stop by the front desk or call to schedule a time that is convenient for you.

GENTLE YOGA (On Going Sessions)

This is a beginning level yoga class to introduce Hatha yoga. Basic postures that include stretching, moving and breathing will help build strength, flexibility and balance.

BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS 

The Fire Department personnel can check blood pressure whenever they are here.  Look for their fire trucks in the parking lot.

BODY COMPOSITION TESTING

No matter the method used to calculate body fat percentage, it is a great tool for monitoring progression for those with the goal of weight loss and body fat reduction.  Body Composition Testing is available by appointment only, so stop by the front desk or call to schedule a time that is convenient for you. 

Skin-Fold Caliper

Using the 7-site skin-fold measurement method allows you a more detailed description of your body fat percentage.  A subcutaneous pinch is measured at the following sites:  chest, midaxillary, triceps, subscapular, abdominal, suprailiac and thigh.  All pinches must be taken directly on the skin; therefore, shorts should be worn.

Bioelectrical Impedance Method

This is a non-invasive option for fast, easy results.  By simply holding onto the Body Fat Analyzer hand grips, it uses electrical conductivity to determine your amount of fat tissue.  Muscles and bones have a high water content that conducts electricity easily, whereas fat tissue has little and little electric conductivity.
