Assessment & Orientation

As a new member, you’ll begin with a series of two separate appointments with one of our highly skilled Fitness Specialists. Every step of the way, you can count on your assigned Fitness Specialist to make your objectives his or her first priority.

The assessment process is designed to give you and your Fitness Specialist a baseline idea of where you are currently in your personal physical fitness. You can’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve been, right? Don’t be intimidated—this is your first step towards reaching new heights!

Once you’ve completed your assessment, it’s time to move on to the orientation. At this stage, your Fitness Specialist will set up your introductory program based on your unique needs and circumstances. You’ll also be given your code to access the FitLinxx system at this time. We’ll demonstrate and explain each exercise you’ll be doing and watching to make certain you’re doing them safely—and effectively.

Question: Every gym and fitness center offers an assessment and orientation. What makes yours so different?

Great question. Because the Memorial Health & Lifestyle Center is medically-based, you can count on receiving the highest caliber of expertise from our Fitness Staff. In addition, our Assessment is more encompassing and includes, for example, a cholesterol check. We believe these extras are important to your health, and so we include them in the assessment process.

Finally, as a new member of HLC, we recognize that you may need a little extra help. That’s why we offer you an additional session every 3 months with your Fitness Specialist during your first year of membership. We want to share in your success, so we’ll be with you every step of the way!
