The Harper Student Center's Human Performance Laboratory serves as the University's focal point for conducting evaluations of physical fitness and for providing group and private consultations in the area of exercise programming. This state-of-the-art laboratory is designed to accommodate the needs of the beginning fitness enthusiast, the high-risk member and the elite athlete.

The fitness assessment, which takes approximately one hour, includes a health questionnaire and tests of cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Results from this assessment are used to make fitness program recommendations and offer benchmarks for recording improvements in members' physical fitness levels.

The cost of the fitness assessment is $40. Students may receive one assessment free of charge per year.
