Take control of your health by being proactive and building confidence in your program. It is important to have a clear and accurate assessment of your current health and fitness. Raise your hand if you could use some improvement! Baseline Testing and Assessments can really clear up the confusion as to what you need to be working on. It will also keep you motivate
