Functional assessments

A practical fitness baseline

In about 30 minutes, you’ll talk through your goals, try coach-guided activities suited to you and review the results together.

Wear comfortable clothes and stable athletic shoes. Tell your coach about movement restrictions before starting, and ask for a modification or break whenever you need one.

What the activities tell us

Six parts of the assessment

Your coach chooses the activities that make sense for your goals and abilities. The results guide fitness coaching.

01

Body composition

An optional scale estimates body composition. Hydration and other measurement conditions can affect the reading.

02

Grip strength

A handheld device records how firmly you can squeeze. Repeating the same setup gives you a comparison point.

03

Lower-body function

Rising from a chair shows how you perform a movement you use throughout the day. Your coach may time or count repetitions.

04

Balance and mobility

Try selected positions and movements at a comfortable pace. Your coach observes steadiness and usable range of motion.

05

Walking and aerobic capacity

A measured walk or repeatable aerobic task gives you a baseline for pace and sustained effort.

06

Functional progress reporting

Your report records the activity, result and practical training priorities. Later assessments can compare repeatable measures.
