ASSESSMENT
|
|
We use the most sophisticated technology available to determine body composition,
cardiopulmonary fitness (target heart rate), resting and exercise metabolic rate.
Additionally, a computerized analysis of caloric intake will complete a metabolic
profile that will be the basis for the construction of your tailored program. We
use this information to create a custom exercise prescription ultimately designed
to get you healthy
Assessment tests include:
• Resting Metabolic Rate: Determines daily
calorie intake requirements.
• Cardiopulmonary Test (VO2 Max): Establishes
target heart rate for exercise.
• Hit Fit Evaluation: Measures Strength
balance and body composition. Establish goals.

TREATMENT
|
|
Nutritional counseling, weight tracking, and exercise are the keys to the success
of your program. Using the results of the Assessment phase we implement your exercise
program creating caloric deficit. This results in tilting your metabolic/thermodynamic
equations to your advantage ensuring weight loss.

|
|
REASSESSMENT
|
|
Systematic reassessment of body composition, caloric expenditure, and metabolic
adjustments will serve to continually adjust the program to create consistent and
steady weight loss.

Client Comments
"“In December 2003, I finally reached a point in my life where I knew I had to make a life change. I was severely overweight and I could no longer ignore it. I had tried all the various diets, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Sugar Busters, you name it, and all without success. I would lose 5 pounds one week and then gain 10 pounds the next. I found an article on the HIT Center. After I read the article, I was sure I had found the answer to my weight problem. The HIT Center uses sophisticated computerized equipment to measure each clients stats, i.e. body mass, target heart rate, resting metabolism. From this information an exercise program was designed specifically for me, and they provided me with nutrition counseling to keep me within my calorie limits. The entire HIT Center staff is top-notch. In 7 months I have lost 50 pounds, significantly reduced by body fat and increased muscle, went from size 20 to size 16 pants (and the 16’s are now very baggy on me). I feel better than I have in years. I have more energy, and my doctor has been able to reduce and/or eliminate some of my medications. Thanks to everyone at the HIT Center. Because of you, I am much less a woman than I used to be! Fifty pounds less, and I’m still losing.”
