THE ASSESSMENT
Don't worry, this is not just about pinching fat. A certified trainer will provide you with the choice of a range of assessment options. These include posture, flexibility, Body Fat %, Body Mass Index, Blood Pressure, waist to hip ratio, Cardiorespiratory, and Muscular strength. The purpose of these assessments is only to determine your current physical condition and measure progress, not to make you feel uneasy about your fitness level. Choose only the assessments you feel comfortable with. Your assessment information is then entered into the computer in order to track your progress throughout your program. During the assessment you will also define your short and long term fitness goals and particular barriers to achieving them. The assessment process is of utmost importance because it allows the trainers at AYA Fitness to design a program that is specific to your needs and goals.

  

THE DESIGN PROCESS
Once you have completed your assessment, one of our certified trainers will begin the process of creating your Personal Fitness Portfolio. Using your assessment as a guideline, the trainer will look at particular postural, flexibility, and muscular imbalance issues that you may have and prescribe exercises that will help to correct these issues. You will complete Core and other functional exercises in order to prepare your body for more goal specific exercises. When you have developed a basic foundation of fitness, the trainer will start to include exercises that will encourage you to reach your maximal potential. All of your exercises and your schedule will be organized in your Personal Fitness Portfolio in an easy to follow format. It will be designed to fit into your busy life and will include your personal preferences. Throughout the entire design process YOU will be the focus not an overpriced machine or workout facility.

THE PROGRAM
Once the design of your Personal Fitness Portfolio is complete, a trainer will guide you through the exercises you will perform. During your weekly schedule you will have the option of exercising at home, your gym, or at the AYA Personal Fitness studio with a trainer to monitor your workout. The exercises you will be prescribed will be reflect where you want to complete your workout. Each exercise day, you will keep a “completion” record of your progress in order to determine your adherence to the program and how to maintain a commitment to exercise. Throughout the program you and the trainer will make adjustments to the program and take occasional assessments of your choice to monitor your progress. As you progress through your program you will reach the goals that you thought were impossible and begin to live your life to its fullest potential. You will have a record of every step in your path to success and will be able to use this as an invaluable resource for the rest of your life.
