What is a fitness assessment?
A fitness assessment is far more than a simple validation of your current fitness level. The fitter you are, the healthier you are and the longer you’re likely to live in comparison to less fit individuals.
For this reason, the enhanced Multiply fitness assessment has only included measures which research has shown to be associated with health and longevity. This fitness assessment is backed by research and was developed by the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, and the University of Cape Town, our partners.
Now you can do an online fitness assessment from the comfort of your own home.
A fitness assessment is an alternative
A Multiply fitness assessment is an alternative to getting Active Dayz™ - useful for members who live an active lifestyle but are unable to track it.
For only R440 for the in-person fitness assessment and R230 for the online fitness assessment, you’ll get your fitness level and expert advice from a health professional. The in-person fitness assessment results will be valid for 12 months and the online fitness assessment for 6 months.

What to expect
What will be measured?
- Body composition – Multiply body fat %
- Muscle strength – Handgrip (required), 1min push-up (optional)*
*if both is done, your best result will be used.
- Cardiorespiratory Fitness - Your health professional will choose the tests best suited to you
How does it work?
HealthReturns* are calculated using the results of your Healthy Heart Score, Fitness Assessment Level and your status on Multiply Premier.
For every R630 you contribute to your Momentum Medical Scheme, you will get HealthReturns* paid into your HealthSaver* account. This applies to the principal member and adult dependant contributions. A principal member who is as active as an adult dependant can get more HealthReturns* because of the lower contribution that the dependant pays.
HealthReturns* payable per R630 medical scheme contribution from 1 January 2022. For Momentum Medical Scheme members, the HealthReturns payable from 1 September 2022 will be per R665 medical scheme contribution.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing, like track pants, tights or shorts and running or walking shoes.
Do I need a gym towel?
Take your gym towel.
How will I receive my results?
You will receive comprehensive feedback and an overall fitness level (between 1 – 5) which can be printed and or emailed to you.
May I train on the day of the assessment?
Do not train on the day of the fitness assessments, as it might impact your overall score.
