Why BodyAge
BodyAge is based on health screening and fitness test scores. Fitness testing is done to serve
two purposes; the first is to monitor progress of a fitness program and the second is to provide
motivation to the client to improve fitness levels. The problem in the past has been that when
presenting clients with just their fitness results: they tend to be overwhelmed with the amount of
information and do not understand many of the fitness concepts, such as VO
2MAX
. Because of this,
clients tend to be less motivated to change their fitness levels and therefore exercise adherence
is lower and incidence of dropout from exercise programs is higher. The BodyAge system was
developed over 10 years from the information gathered and real-world testing in over 1300 health
clubs in the U.S.
BodyAge simplifies fitness test results into one number that the non-professional can understand.
Using BodyAge has been shown to increase motivation levels of clients and increase exercise
compliance.
