Body Composition Measurement - Uses skin fold calipers to measure the thickness of skin and subcutaneous fat at various sites on the body. The measurements are used to estimate the percentage of body fat versus lean body weight.

Resting Measurements - Determines resting blood pressure and heart rate. You should not drink caffeine or smoke at least three hours prior to the test.

Consultations - Confused on how and where to begin a fitness routine? The Assistant Director, Fitness is available for consultations on these issues. An overview on exercise, its definitions and types and the basics of a well-rounded program are discussed.

Orientations - If you shy away from physical activity because you are not quite sure how to use the equipment, orientations are just a phone call away. Orientations provide instruction on the safe and effective use of both the strength and cardiovascular equipment and they also provide information on general exercise principles. Orientations can take place at the facility of your choice.
