BioProfile
Evaluating and Assessing Client Fitness
With Aspen's Fitness Assessment Software
Periodic testing and evaluating of health-related fitness is essential in the operation of
a successful fitness club. In its most basic form, it provides your clients with a
snapshot of their present health relative to normal fitness levels, and an idea of what
their fitness status can be.
Following the American College of Sports Medicine’s Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, the BioProfile Assessment module assists your exercise specialists in evaluating the main health related areas of physical fitness: (1) cardiovascular-respiratory function; (2) body composition; (3) muscular strength and muscular endurance; and (4) flexibility. It is a powerful and flexible tool that includes the widest collection of industry approved fitness tests and normative data research.
The results of the fitness tests can then be effectively utilized as motivators for personal improvement and reinforcement for fitness maintenance. They can be used to create additional income-generating services and member programs.
The system provides the ability to prequalify clients for a fitness assessment with a PAR-Q test and obtain informed consent. It also allows capturing of medical information such as medical history, known allergies and current medications.
Whether a full or partial assessment is obtained, a wide
array of colorful reports assessing individual fitness in the current appraisal can be
provided to members. Comparisons between tests can show customers their successes as well
as identify those areas still needing improvement.
Flexibility is key to Aspen Software. While following ACSM (American College of Sports
Medicine) standards, the system also makes available a variety of internationally
supported tests and protocols so that fitness professionals worldwide can confidently use
the system. Even % Body Fat can be calculated six different ways.

One of the many strengths of the system is its ability to allow fitness professionals to
choose norms and test protocols they prefer. The club may establish default tests, but the
fitness professional is always able to select the most appropriate norm and test for a
specific client at any time.
If a particular test is not presently included in the system, simply provide the normative data to Aspen and we will add it to your database...or you can even add normative data on your own.
