Test 1: Bodystat.
The Bodystat 1500 measures your body fat, lean tissue and water as a weight and as a percentage. This is done by connecting to electrodes to the hand and foot in a lying down state. This is not only the least intrusive way of measuring, but it is also the most accurate method.

Test 2: Blood Pressure.
Using a fully automatic blood pressure monitor by Omron, with clinically validated measurement technology “Intellisense” (controlled inflation/deflation) makes this a comfortable and fast measurement of blood pressure and pulse.

Test 3: Fitness Test.
The fitness test is comprised of 5 elements, they are: Upper, lower and core strength, Vo2 and Flexibility.

The upper body: one minute press up test. Do as many full or half press ups as possible in one minute.
The lower body: one minute squat test. Do as many full squats as possible in one minute.
The core: one minute sit up test. Do as many sit ups as possible in one minute.

Can ActivFit train me at my health club I am a member at?
In some instances yes. But it does need the authorisation from management from the health club.

I feel I don’t need to book a course of Personal Training. But I do need some guidance with the right fitness programme. Is this possible?
Yes, we can give you a full Lifestyle assessment and a Personal Programme to follow without any commitment of purchasing a course of personal training.

I have had Personal Training before and found it slightly intimidating what are your opinions on this?
At ActivFit we think of our Personal Trainers as training partners rather than coaches. With this in mind the whole perception of a personal trainer being a “Drill Sergeant” is in the past. Are aim is to provide you with a highly motivating, enjoyable work out ensuring nothing but success.
