Here at the Hamilton Rec Center, we are committed in helping you reach your wellness goals and providing you with any information that will assist you in your fitness routine. An assessment can serve several purposes for you in reaching a higher level of physical fitness. Testing results can be used to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and periodic re-tests can assess your progress over time.
