Understand your assessment results

Wellness assessments can help determine your fitness level, track progress, and plan your next steps.

The 60-minute assessments detail helpful information about body composition using the InBody analysis system(PDF, 1MB), cardiovascular health, muscular endurance, balance and flexibility. Regularly scheduled wellness assessments provide insight into changes in your health and fitness to best help set and assess personal goals. You can take home the results of your wellness assessment the same day, and a copy of assessment results will be kept in a secure file at the Lenexa Rec Center for three years.
