Let’s think of it like this...
You’re out looking for that treasure. You have a map and destination (your goals) and your compass to know the direction you’re facing (your benchmarks).
If you leave either of these at home, your chances of making it to the treasure are slim and none!
Embarking on a fitness journey without assessment and benchmarking is like trying to find treasure without a map or compass.
You just might stumble upon it by chance (you probably won’t), but wouldn’t you rather have a clear path?
The Straight Talk on Benchmarking and Assessment
Assessment and benchmarking aren’t just fancy terms we throw around; they are the backbone of any solid fitness gameplan. They provide three essential benefits that keep you on the right track:
- Guidance: Knowing your current position and how it aligns with your goals is crucial. Setting realistic goals and knowing where you stand right now. It’s about understanding the journey ahead and plotting a course that will get you to your destination efficiently.
- Validation: Seeing quantifiable progress can be a game-changer. It confirms that your efforts are making an impact, offering the reassurance needed to keep pushing forward. Nothing worse than rocking up to training, working your butt off, but not really knowing if you’re getting the job done!
- Motivation: There’s a universal truth in fitness—seeing improvement fuels the desire to achieve more. It’s not about competing with others but setting personal records that keep you striving for better. That said, even the most ‘non-competitive’ clients we’ve seen get that twinkle in their eye when we tell them about the gains they’ve made.
