Assessments

Fitness Assessments

A fitness assessment is a great way for you to determine your current level of fitness. These measurements can be an invaluable tool when developing a fitness plan or when looking at the impact your fitness level has on your quality of life now and into the future. The assessments measure resting heart rate, blood pressure, height and weight, flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, body composition, measurements, and aerobic capacity.

Cost is $25 for students, members, or non-members.

Body Composition Test

Our trainers can perform a body fat composition test with skin calipers. The results are then calculated and the percentage of body fat is determined. Body girth measurements will also be performed, which includes waist, hip, chest, arm, and thigh circumference.

Cost is $3 for students, members, or non-members.

Personal Training Consultation

A consultation is a 30-minute meeting with a personal trainer where you can discuss your fitness goals and expectations. Based on this, along with your health and fitness history, the personal trainer can make recommendations on future exercise program options. Every twelve months, Wellness Center members are entitled to one free personal training consultation.

Please fill out the Personal Training Consultation form and a personal trainer will contact you within two business days to set up your appointment.

Cost is free for members, $25 for non-members.

Massage

What is Massage Therapy?

According to the American Massage Therapy Association, massage is a hands-on manipulation of soft tissue and joints of the body and may include muscle, tendons and ligaments. Techniques may involve holding, causing movement, and/or applying pressure to the body. Western has a professional massage therapist on staff.

How is it Beneficial?

Massage therapy can provide a wealth of benefits. Research shows that massage can:

  • Reduce heart-rate
  • Help lower blood pressure
  • Improve blood circulation, recovery time and immune system function
  • Relax muscles
  • Improve range of motion
  • Increase endorphins
  • Help manage stress

Considerations

Massage may be contraindicated for specific health conditions; therefore it is important that your therapist be aware of your health history and screen appropriately before performing massage. In some instances, permission from your physician may be required before services can be provided.

Health Coaching

What is Health Coaching?

Health coaching is one-on-one guidance tailored to you. Our Certified Health Coach will guide you on your path to better health. Health coaching maximizes health and helps reduce disease risk through education and an exploration of healthy and satisfying changes. 

Health Coaching Intake

The intake session is essential for success. This is the foundation of your personalized wellness plan—the important changes you need to make for the biggest impact. It’s at this point that the Health Coach will gain an understanding of your current lifestyle, your unique barriers to healthy eating, and other habits in order to establish the most successful approach.

Health Coaching Sessions

The key to behavior and nutritional change is consistency and accountability. Regular check-ins ensure you are on the right path to achieving your goals. We will assess your progress together during these regular coaching sessions. We will also evaluate barriers and introduce new and fun ways to stay on track!

To get started, request a 60-minute nutrition coaching session with our Health Coach and receive guidance to support a nutritious diet.
