Fitness Assessments

Weighing Scales

Body Mass Index

BMI for men and women uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person’s height and weight. BMI is a screening tool; it is not used to diagnose any medical conditions. A person with BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered to be of normal weight. A person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered to be overweight.

Basal Metabolic Rate

Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of calories the body would burn if at rest (lying down awake) for 24hours. Your BMR is influenced by a number of factors, including age, weight, height, gender, environmental temperature, dieting, and exercise habits. A regular routine of cardiovascular exercise can increase your BMR, improving your health and fitness.

Hip to Waist Ratio

Your health is not only affected by how much body fat you have, but also by where most of the fat is located on your body. People who tend to gain weight mostly in their hips and buttocks have a pear body shape, while people who tend to gain weight mostly in the abdomen have more of an apple body shape.

When you join K-Leisure we see you as more than a number, we want you to achieve the results you desire.

This consultation can be booked in over the phone or you can go to reception.

Because we believe in fitness for all we also offer the fitness consultation to our casual users of the club. For a fee of €15 you will receive the full consultation including the body evaluation. And if you require a review you can receive this for the discounted rate of €10.
