Boot Camp

Campus Recreation offers an advanced boot camp that is held in the fall, spring and summer semesters.  The boot camp is an intense workout for those who have already begun an exercise program.  The boot camp is usually limited to 12 participants.  To track your progress, boot camp participants get a free initial fitness assessment and a post camp fitness reassessment.  Boot camps vary in the number of weeks it is held but it will meet twice a week for an hour.  Medical clearance may be required in order to participate.  Check with Campus Recreation in regards to registration deadlines, start dates and cost of the next boot camp.  Participants are encouraged to participate if they can do 30 continuous sit-ups, 20 push-ups and not have any current joint pain. 

Personal trainer bios can be viewed at the PE Building service desk Room 108

Fitness Assessments

All new personal training clients get a free initial fitness assessment. Clients who want a re-assessment after beginning the program must use one of the paid training sessions. Clients are assessed in the following areas:

  • Resting heart rate and blood pressure
  • Height and weight
  • Girth measurements and body fat %
  • Estimated vo2 max using a 3 minute step test
  • Bicep curl strength
  • Flexibility through a sit and reach test
  • Muscular endurance

 

Fitness Assessment Guidelines


In order for the fitness assessment to be accurate we ask participants to follow the criteria listed below:

  1. Participants should refrain from ingesting food, alcohol, caffeine or tobacco products within 3 hours of testing.
  2. Participants should be rested for the assessment, avoiding significant exertion or exercise on the day of the assessment.
  3. Athletic attire should be worn for the assessment, including shoes and shorts. Shorts will allow for easy access to the mid thigh for the body fat testing.
  4. Drink plenty of fluids over the 24-hour period preceding the test to ensure normal
    hydration levels on the day of testing.
  5. Participants should stay on their regular medication schedule so that the responses will be consistent with what will be expected during the training sessions.
