GAUGE YOUR FITNESS
Get your baseline, set your goals, and track your progress.
InBody Scan. Our new, non-invasive InBody scan will assess what you are made of and give you a better understanding of your overall health by tracking your body composition: water, muscle, and fat. During the 30-minute appointment, your height and weight are measured, a 1-minute scan is performed, and you will receive a results sheet. A certified trainer will review your results and discuss training options. Cost: $20 for Members, $40 for Community Members
