HERE’S FIVE REASON WHY YOU SHOULD TEST AND RE-TEST YOUR FITNESS BY JESSE O’SULLIVAN

1. Personalised Progress Tracking:

Baseline fitness testing allows us to establish a starting point for your strength and cardiovascular fitness. By periodically retesting, we can accurately track your progress and tailor your program to ensure continuous improvement with the right amount & types of classes.

2. Identification of Strengths and Weaknesses:

Testing provides valuable insights into your strengths and weaknesses. Understanding where you excel and where you need improvement enables us to design your routine to address specific areas, targeted by attending the right classes/sessions at Function Well.

3. Motivation and Accountability:

Seeing tangible improvements in your fitness levels serves as powerful motivation to stay committed to your fitness goals. Regular testing holds you accountable and provides concrete evidence of your hard work paying off, boosting confidence and encouraging further dedication.

4. Injury Prevention:

Monitoring changes in your strength and cardiovascular fitness helps us identify any potential risks of over training, or injury. By addressing these issues early on, we can implement corrective methods through StretchFit, Pilates, yoga or Restoration Zone protocols to reduce any training risks, and keep you safe during workouts.

5. Optimisation of Training Program:

By tracking your progress over time, we can adjust your training program accordingly to ensure continued progression and prevent plateaus. Whether it’s progressing from EST to Met Con, adding in a Pilates session or two, or incorporating new skills in CrossFit or boxing. Regular retesting allows us to optimise your routine for maximum effectiveness as you progress.

In short, baseline fitness testing and regular retesting are essential components of your fitness journey. Not only do they provide valuable insights into your progress, strengths, and areas for improvement, but they also serve as powerful motivators to help you continue to progress towards your goals.

Trust the process, stay consistent, and you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.
