The video above offers an inside look at one of WellSpring’s personal training classes. In this clip, WellSpring’s personal trainer, André, helps two women complete their Rockport fitness test. The Rockport fitness test determines fitness level by measuring the participant’s heart rate after a brisk 1-mile walk. The participant’s heart rate is then analyzed against their age, weight, gender, and total walk time. For example, a 25-year-old woman who weighs 150 pounds and walks a mile in 15 minutes is considered be in excellent shape as long as her heart rate does not go above 163 beats per minute during the walk. Through the Rockport fitness test, trainers can assess the fitness level of each client up front in order to design a workout plan that best works for them. The test also allows trainers to track their clients’ progress over time.
