Body Composition Analysis
This program is designed to help you establish and identify your body fat percentages vs. your lean body mass. A YMCA Fitness Specialist will conduct a caliper test and evaluate seven different sites of the body. The idea is to establish a starting point to better track your progress throughout your fitness program. The test is recommended for all members over the age of 18 who want to alter their body composition. We invite and encourage all members who have not had a body composition analysis to register for one today.
