Fitness Assessments

Understanding Your Physical Fitness

Whether you're starting an exercise program for the first time, or you’re getting back into the routine, our fitness assessments can help. We evaluate your wellness, establish a baseline, and help you set goals. During your assessment, we review your medical history and determine your baseline measurements in several areas including your:

• Blood pressure
• Heart rate
• Body composition
• Body mass index
• Upper body strength
• Lower body strength
• Muscle endurance
• Aerobic endurance
• Flexibility

Once we have your results, our exercise physiologists create a personalized fitness program that suits your needs, experience, expectations, and what you enjoy.  

Fitness assessments are made by appointment by emailing Mike Tuggle at michael.tuggle@duke.edu. If you would like to track your progress, a second assessment can provide feedback at a later date.
