I am xFit

Top 10%

As a Fitness Coach when a client reaches the I am Fit mark I am very satisfied. In most cases I leave it up to them to want to move on. At this point I suggest fitness maintenance programming, to work on areas that may be lacking, and to introduce variety in their training to avoid overuse injuries. In some cases people want to achieve an extreme level of fitness for personal reasons. I compiled a series of additional self-tests as well as elevated some of the benchmarks on the I am Fit Program to determine the I am xFit mark for those looking for the extreme mark. As before these tests are the safest, most informative, and simplest to implement. They are not athletic or performance tests.

Where to start: If you would like a from to send to us download the test form (xFit Test Form). Complete each test module and place a X in the Checkbox of the form if you met the desired level. Exception: If you do not meet the desired level of flexibility on any of the tests but have no pain and are working to improve then place a X in the Checkbox. If you fill in all the Checkboxes you have met my criteria of I am xFit. If you did not meet a desired level on any of the tests work with a Fitness Coach on a plan (email fittec@me.com). Download the testing procedures to make sure you know the correct technique (xFit Testing Procedure). Please see I am xFit Table for all the passing values (xFit Table). If you are concerned about a test because of orthopedic or a medical reasons email us for an alternative at fittec@me.com. If you do not access to a piece of fitness equipment place N/A (not available) on the form.
