What is a ‘fitness age’, and should it be trusted…? We certainly think so…!
At FitFor, we often refer to a Bio or Fitness Age, which we arrive at during our Fitness Fundamentals assessments, given to all members at the beginning of, and ongoing during their fitness journey with us. The bio-age uses objective measures of cardio-respiratory, strength, metabolic and mobility levels to glean an accurate overall fitness age, which we think is a good way to quantify your relative physical fitness age.
EGYM, our strength and fitness partner, provides the tech behind the data which has proved invaluable since we partnered with them 10 years ago. The data for each member is measured against known normative data, taken from years of peer reviewed research, from which we score the bio-age.
FitFor Member and journalist, Simon Usborne, has written an article in the Sunday Times describing his fitness journey and how his Bio-age stacks up against his real age. Read the full article HERE
