Body Composition Testing
Here's a great way to keep on top of your exercise results: have a fitness specialist track your weight, body mass index, body composition, and circumference measurements.

Customized Fitness Profiles
Interested in having a better understanding of your fitness level? At the JCC we offer members and non-members a comprehensive evaluation that includes sub-max aerobic capacity testing, flexibility, body com- position, blood pressure, and muscular strength and endurance testing. From the results of these stan-dardized tests, we design a 90-day exercise program that focuses on improving variables of health and well-being. The tests are then repeated to chart one's progress and improvements.

For more information, contact Kelly Russo at 487-0981 or krusso@stamfordjcc.org. 

Private Fitness Classes
If you don't see a class that fits your needs, create your own private class. For groups of six or more, these classes can be tailored to your group's sched- ules, goals and interests. Choose from most disciplines including yoga, Pilates, boot camp, group cycling, sport-specific training, athletic training, and more. For updates and information on the private classes beginning soon please email Jon Stellwagen at jstellwagen@stamfordjcc.org.
