The best of any health and fitness pursuits can be both challenging and rewarding. To ensure you get the most from your time at AeroMax, we promise to help you in three ways... Expert Advice, Regular Support and Results.

And this all begins with your Progress Review.

Why are regular Progress Reviews important?

Put simply, most members find them to be very motivational – as you can monitor your progress from the initial baseline measurements.

Remember - what gets measured gets done!

All AeroMax Memberships receive regular Progress Reviews and the comprehensive assessments determine:

Blood Pressure & Resting Pulse Rate
Ideally we will be looking at you having a Systolic Blood Pressure (pressure exerted by the blood as it is going into the heart) reading between 100 – 140 and a Diastolic (pressure exerted by the blood as it is pumped from the heart) between 70 – 90. The optimal range is 110/70.

Body Girths
Measuring the centimetres with a tape gives you a better idea of your body shape rather than those dreaded scales.

VO2/Aerobic Fitness (Bike test - ml/kg/min)
The estimation is based on heart rate at a known exertion level and client statistics such as weight, age and gender. Improvements can be tracked with regular exercise as the efficiency with which oxygen is exchanged with the active muscles increases.

Upper Body Endurance
When it comes to your muscular endurance of the upper body, the push up test is dependent upon two factors – your gender and your age. Women get to do their push ups off their knees while the men get it a little harder and have to do it off their toes. With both sexes though, it is dependent upon your age as to what is considered "good".

Flexibility
If you can reach 10cm past your toes, then we consider your flexibility to be good, especially for the more rigid male population.

Core Stability
Testing the strength of the rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus and internal/external obliques.

Body Weight
Particularly handy for the men when they’re goals are to "bulk up". But gives no indication of muscle to body fat ratio though.

Fitness and Health Goals
Lastly, and importantly, we look at whether you are achieving your goals. If not, why not? Are you a GOALSETTER? Setting goals help ensure you have something to work towards, because surely you're sweating and grunting for something... right?

What happens next after the Progress Review?
Your trainer will use this information to develop a program specifically designed to help you reach your goals. The next step is to take action. That involves your Program Training Session. Our qualified trainers will take you though a workout showing you the proper way to set or size the equipment for your body, and teach you proper form and technique. The workout is recorded showing weights and sets/repetitions. This will be used to map your success.
