Rebel Wellness Assessment Q & A

Q: What is the Rebel Wellness Assessment?
A: Personal wellness consists of emotional, occupational, environmental, social, spiritual and physical domains. The Rebel Wellness Assessment provides a two-fold comprehensive assessment of overall wellness.
Health Risk Assessment (HRA):
The RWZ Health Risk Assessment is based on BSDI’s Motivation® Software. This award-winning software is a unique and powerful health promotion tool. The HRA consists of an online survey that assesses diet and weight, productivity, psychological and social health, substance use and physical activity. The HRA generates a report that enables you to compare yourself to a population of other people like yourself. The report includes a Plan of Action specific to you. There is no personally identifiable information used from this tool unless you indicate in writing that you would like this information to be shared with your health care providers.
Fitness Assessment:
Flexibility will be measured using the sit and reach method. Aerobic fitness will be assessed using a submaximal exercise test (bicycle ergometer or step test) The resulting aerobic fitness values will be somewhat less accurate than if a maximal exercise stress test is performed. Muscular strength and endurance will be measured using the YMCA half sit-up test, and bench-press strength test. Body composition will be estimated using: a) 3-site skinfold caliper measurement; b) bio-electrical impedance analysis; c) Body Mass Index; and d) waist-to-hip circumference measurement.

Understanding these parameters is a key component to enable one to design an effective lifestyle plan for overall wellness. Knowledge is a powerful motivational tool to enable people to set goals and track progress towards one’s overall wellness. At the Rebel Wellness Zone, qualified staff will lead you through the assessment protocols and educate you on the meaning of your results.

Q: What is the Premier Wellness Assessment?
A: The Premier Wellness Assessment makes use of more complex fitness equipment and testing procedures to conclude accurate and defined results. The Monarch Bike submaximal test, YMCA muscular strength test, and Ree-vue® Indirect Calorimetry measurement will be applied.

Q: What is the Max Fitness Testing Assessment?
A: In addition to the services provided in the Wellness Assessment, the Max Fitness Testing assessment will also include the following gold standard evaluations; The Hydrostatic Weighing is the gold standard for body composition analysis. This is done by underwater weighing to determine the water displacement. The BodPod is one of the newest and most accurate methods for determining body composition analysis. This is done by air displacement in a small sealed “room”. The Max VO2 Test is the best method to determine cardiorespiratory endurance. With this method, measurements take place of direct oxygen uptake using a metabolic cart while achieving maximum effort. Individual Cost: The Ree-vue Indirect Calorimetry is a method of determining resting metabolic rate using air expiration.

Q: Can I sign up for one single service or must I sign up for all?
A: Yes you can sign up for one single service at a smaller fee than purchasing the assessment as a package which includes measuring all components of fitness.
