What is a fitness assessment?
A fitness assessment is far more than a simple validation of your current fitness level. It’s a significant and informative measure of your health. 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.
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 R420 and 30 minutes of your time, you will get your fitness level and expert advice from a health professional. The enhanced fitness assessment results will be valid for 12 months, so now, you only need to complete your fitness assessment once a year.
