Fit Test & Talk: Insights into Your Health and Lifestyle

Would you like to make some improvements to your health? Do you find that you have low energy, mood swings, trouble sleeping, or are struggling with something else? Or are there results from your Healthy Living Test that you’d like to address?

Make an appointment at Fit Test & Talk for a quick fitness test and a casual conversation about your lifestyle.

Test
During a brief physical test, we can measure your BMI, body fat percentage, metabolic age, blood pressure, and endurance. Together, these metrics provide insight into your cardiovascular health.

& Talk
Afterward, you’ll discuss the results and receive personalized tips to improve or maintain your health.

The conversation can also start with a personal question—no matter how big or small—about your physical and mental health. The mere suspicion that things could be different is enough. Together, we’ll explore where small steps can be taken in the areas of relaxation, sleep, nutrition, and exercise to improve your physical and mental health.

Fit Test & Talk is led by Mariëlle Spekreijse, a Movement Scientist and Lifestyle Consultant.

Conversations with Mariëlle are confidential and focus on lifestyle (changes): they are not a substitute for medical or psychological care, but they are an accessible first step.

“Through small adjustments to your lifestyle, you can actually have a significant impact on how you feel physically and mentally,” says Mariëlle.

You can turn to her, for example, with questions such as:

“I just can’t seem to consistently make changes to my exercise routine or energy levels.”
“I haven’t been sleeping well for a while and don’t know where to start.”
“My body reacts differently than it used to, and I don’t know what to do anymore.”
“What constitutes a healthy diet for me?”

Are you curious about what topics might be covered during your Fit Test & Talk? Take the Healthy Living Test to get a first impression.
