This
is what I was subjected to just so I could be told I was FAT.
Gee thanks! Actually the staff was really nice and helpful. The
torture girls put me through a very involved fitness test that
took over an hour. I signed up for a year of membership at the
gym but I didn't expect to get the whole thing at once. I am
assuming that after this experience I shouldn't have to go back
except to renew my membership.
Just so you know, the picture of me standing in front of the
tank is not a picture I accidentally mixed in from my Thailand
vacation. It is a very sophisticated harness used to do
hydrostatic measurements. REALLY! The test is a measurement of
total body fat. They took some blood and tested it as well. I
can't say I believe the heart rate monitor because it said my
resting rate was 102 bpm. That's really high but who knows for
sure. Maybe the tank thingy scared me.
There was also a flexibility test which I failed miserably. Out
of shape fat boys as a general rule are not flexible.
