Fitness Assessments

POTENTRx™ fitness assessments address the needs of people seeking to increase their general fitness. The comprehensive assessments combine a series of tests that enable our staff to understand your current level of fitness and create a training prescription that utilizes training zones based on your physiological capabilities.

  • S.M.A.R.T. Fitness Assessment
  • Fitness Programs

    POTENTRx™ fitness programs are designed to optimize your health and fitness using scientifically determined training zones relative to your physiological capabilities, monitored and modified as you train. The goal of every program is to effectively and efficiently increase muscular strength, endurance and flexibility, improve cardiovascular capacity and economy, and develop efficient movement skills. All programs are based on a fitness assessment, and proceed across twelve weeks according to choices you make regarding the type and amount of support you need. Program components may include 1) a consultation with physician, 2) exercise education and demonstration, 3) scheduled phone support, 4) periodic monitoring and training adjustments, 5) personal training, and 6) follow-up testing to measure results.

    What Tim, a S.H.A.P.E. Client, says about POTENTRx™

    Tim is an avid cyclist who planned to ride 600 miles across Europe. Because of his medical history, Tim was told by multiple physicians and cardiologists that he would not be able to do so because his heart and health wouldn't be able to handle the stress. However, in seeing Dr. Speck and the POTENTRx team, it was determined that he would be able to safely make the 600 mile trek.

    “Dr. Speck, Pam & team, I just finished a great 9 day ride through the French and Italian Alps, over 35 passes and 65,000 feet of climbing, with friends and my French brother-in-law(below). A delightful blur of biking, eating and laughter! Thanks for helping me make it possible. I was able to be respectful of my heart and keep up!” Tim Schottman
