Fitness Is The Target Everyday!

OUR MISSION

The mission of the F.I.T.T.E. Personal Training Program is to assist Students, Faculty and Staff at Truman State University with finding their fitness potential and to improve their quality of life through physical activity.

THE F.I.T.T.E. PROGRAM

The F.I.T.T.E. Program offers fitness assessments and consultations to develop custom fitness programs for individuals and is highly recommended for beginning exercisers. The program will help participants incorporate the five F.I.T.T.E. components of a balanced workout program: Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type and Enjoyment.

INTRODUCTION TO FITNESS PACKAGE

This package includes a fitness assessment, development of a personalized fitness program with a workout orientation. The results of the fitness assessment, along with participant goals and preferences, will be utilized to provide guidelines for an exercise routine. During a 60 minute session a F.I.T.T.E. Trainer will provide participants with guidance on how to start a fitness program and how to use the exercise equipment. The F.I.T.T.E. Trainer will then take you through the workout two times per week for two to three weeks to help you become established with a routine.  The best part of the program is...IT'S FREE for Students, Faculty & Staff (limited sign-up each semester).

FITNESS ASSESSMENT

The fitness assessment begins with an explanation of the program, paperwork and fitness testing to establish baseline fitness levels. Knowing participants' current fitness levels will help F.I.T.T.E. trainers develop a specific exercise program with the participants to enable them to achieve their health and fitness goals.

The fitness testing will last for approximately one hour. The test will evaluate the following areas:

• Body Composition
• Blood Pressure & Heart Rate
• Cardiovascular Strength & Endurance
• Muscular Strength & Endurance
• Flexibility

PERSONALIZED FITNESS PROGRAM

After participants have completed the fitness assessment, a certified Personal Trainer will analyze the results.  Using those results, a personalized fitness program is created and tailored to meet each person's specific needs and preferences.

WORKOUT ORIENTATION

During this session, your F.I.T.T.E. trainer will take you through your entire workout, showing you how to use the equipment and answering any questions you have.  The F.I.T.T.E. Trainer will then take you through the workout two times per week for two to three weeks to help you become established with a routine.
