Fitness Assessments
The Drexel Recreation Center offers personalized fitness assessments and body composition assessments to all members.
Fitness Assessment
Fitness assessments help determine physical fitness. There are five components of physical fitness: body composition, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility. Assessment results will be categorized based on age and gender.
- Basic Fitness Assessment: Assessment of the five components of physical fitness.
Cost: Free
Body Composition Assessment
Body composition is used to describe percentages of fat, muscle, and bone tissues in the human body. The Recreation Center's knowledgeable staff can estimate a healthy body weight and provide exercise
and nutritional advice to members using three different modalities – bioelectrical impedance, circumferences, and skinfolds.
Cost: $5.
