Fitness Assessments, Workout Programs, and Nutritional Counseling are provided to every member as part of their club experience. We encourage the use of these three free services in setting fitness goals and ensuring proper use of the fitness equipment.
Every Hills member receives these free services at the beginning of
their membership, and every three months there
after.
Workout Program
Your customized Workout Program is fun and free! Whether you’re a beginning exerciser or a seasoned pro just looking for a few new ideas, let one of our Certified Personal Trainers create a workout for you. Using information obtained from your Health History form, your Fitness Assessment, and what you’ve told us about your exercise history and fitness goals, your trainer will show you proper strength training technique using resistance machines, free weights, stability tools, or whatever tools are appropriate for you. During the workout, your trainer will demonstrate proper technique, adjust the equipment to the settings right for you, and recommend an amount of weight as well as the number of sets and repetitions. All of this information will be recorded on a card for you. Your workout card is filed on the fitness floor where you have access to it each time you visit the club. Your trainer will also discuss the importance of a proper warm-up, cool-down, and will demonstrate some stretching techniques if you’d like. These items are essential for helping to stay injury-free!
Fitness Assessments
Fitness Assessments are free to members every three months. We recommend that you have a Fitness Assessment performed before starting your new workout program. Assessments are performed by one of our Certified Personal Trainers and last about an hour. At your initial Assessment, we discuss your goals, prior exercise experience, health history, injuries, any limitations, and other pertinent information. We then perform some or all of the assessments depending upon their appropriateness for you. The results will provide you with a baseline measurement of your fitness level. Some of the assessments we offer include: resting heart rate and blood pressure, body weight, body composition, circumference measurements, aerobic capacity (VO2 max), muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility testing.
We also recommend that you perform free follow-up assessments approximately every three months. Follow-up assessments compare your results to previous results and provide feedback regarding your progress in each fitness category. Being able to see and track your progress is highly motivating! Our new Assessment software allows us to track and graph your results and your progress over time, as well as print comprehensive reports for your records.
