Fitness Testing & Training Solutions

These tests can help anyone who wishes to get the information they need to train smarter to meet their fitness goals, whether for improving health or for sports performance enhancement.  
 

Here are some examples of typical clients:
 

The beginner - The beginner who has decided it’s time to get fit, and knows that a proper exercise regime is crucial to one’s physical and emotional health; wants to be informed and make the most of exercise time. 

Recreational athlete - Trains and competes mainly for the sheer fun of it, but still wants to improve and have some structure and purpose in their training. 

Elite athlete - Eager to fine-tune each training bout, avoid injury and overtraining, monitor changes in fitness status, gain a competitive edge through application of sport science principles 

Over Trained athletes - Athletes who notice their performance is getting worse, notice a change in mood, get sick more easily than before, or have other signs that might suggest overtraining.  We can also help healthy athletes avoid overtraining.  

Not getting results - One who’s been exercising for a while, but isn’t seeing much improvement anymore; wants to learn how to change their exercise to continue improving.

With the testing available at Third Coast Training  we can evaluate your fitness level, make exercise recommendations such as heart rate training zones, wattage training zones (cyclist), speed (runners) and with subsequent testing, measure your improvement.

The best exercise recommendations are based on your unique response to exercise, not on a generalized formula.  These tests are valuable because they are a controlled, scientific measurement of your own body’s response to exercise at a range of intensities.

The information gained from these tests can help you improve your health, your sports performance or both.  Furthermore, we can evaluate your current exercise regime in terms of the effects of its volume, duration and intensity. In short are your workouts getting the results you’re looking for?

With each consultation we’ll help you gain a greater understanding of exercise principles, so that you can apply this knowledge yourself to your workouts.
