Abstract
A fitness monitoring system and method for accepting, assessing, maintaining, training, monitoring, and providing direct feedback for individuals in a fitness program for improved results. The method provides feedback on a member of a fitness program utilizing a computer system database and includes performing an initial assessment of the fitness characteristics of a member to gather initial assessment information, recording the initial assessment information in the computer system database, performing a final assessment of the fitness characteristics of a member to gather initial assessment information, recording the final assessment information in the computer system database, and calculating the changes in the health characteristics of the member stored in the database between the initial and final assessments. An alternative method monitors the health characteristics of the member for multiple time intervals and calculates the changes in the health characteristics of the member stored in the database between the two time intervals.
