Your First Fitness Assessment at proof3 Scottsdale

Learn what our fitness assessment covers, how results guide coaching and what to ask about progress and repeat testing at proof3 Salt River.
A proof3 coach goes over assessment results with a member.

A fitness assessment should give you a useful starting point and explain how the results will inform your training. At proof3 Salt River in Scottsdale, our proof3 Assessment combines body-composition, movement, strength and power information with a conversation about your goals and routine.

You may already exercise regularly, be returning after a break or be new to strength training. The purpose is to understand where to begin, rather than give everyone the same starting plan.

What do we ask about first?

We want to know what you enjoy doing, what your current routine looks like and what you’d like to work toward. That might be preparing for a hiking trip, feeling stronger on the tennis court or getting comfortable lifting weights.

Your previous training experience and any relevant exercise restrictions also help us understand your starting point. If your health-care team has given you specific guidance, bring it into the conversation.

What does the proof3 Assessment measure?

Your assessment brings together three kinds of information.

Body composition: InBody testing provides estimates of muscle and fat mass, giving us more context than body weight alone. Hydration and testing conditions can affect readings, so your coach explains the results with those limits in mind.

Ask us how to prepare before your appointment. Following the same preparation instructions each time helps make repeat body-composition results more comparable.

Movement: Our computer-vision assessment gives coaches information about how you move. They use those observations to guide exercise choices and instruction.

Strength and power: Proteus testing provides information about physical performance through assessed movements. Repeating the same tests gives us a basis for comparison as training continues.

We also use prf score as a combined progress metric. Ask your coach to explain the underlying results, because one score is only part of the picture.

Together, these help inform your training. They don’t diagnose a medical condition or replace tests such as a bone-density scan.

What happens after the assessment?

We walk you through your results and explain how they’ll influence your plan, including the movements you’ll learn and where you’ll begin.

Our assessment page recommends a full reassessment every three to six months, while proof30 includes two coached assessments within its introductory experience. We’ll explain the timing that applies to you. For repeat InBody tests, consistent preparation and testing conditions matter; a change in hydration can affect a reading.

You should leave understanding your starting point and how we’ll use it to guide your sessions.

What should you ask about your results?

Ask which measures relate to your goals, what we will repeat and how a change would affect your training. Body-composition estimates don't measure strength, and strength testing doesn't replace a medical bone-density scan.

Common questions about fitness assessments

We recommend a full proof3 Assessment every three to six months. Use the same preparation each time so your body-composition results are comparable.
