A variety of fitness tests are available on the equipment, but the 
fitness facility has the option to remove the program selections 
from the PERFORMANCE key menu. If you do not see the fitness 
tests as part of your program selections, ask the facility manager. 

Read through the following tips before selecting a fitness test.

When you finish a fitness test, a fitness score appears on the 
display as part of the workout summary. Check with the facility 
manager to compare your score with the appropriate fitness 
indexes. The test results can help you gauge the effectiveness of 
your current exercise routine and tailor it to meet your fitness goals. 

The red STOP button and the PAUSE/RESET key are enabled 
during the fitness tests. The SPEED keys are also enabled 
during the fitness tests, with the exception of the Gerkin Fitness 
Test. 

If you press the red STOP button or the PAUSE/RESET key 
during the test, the test ends and the display indicates the test 
was not completed. 

You cannot change the distance or time goals or change to 
another program while in the midst of taking a fitness test. 

Cool-down periods are appended to the end of each test. 

The test provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this time, 
you may change the incline or speed. When your target heart 
rate is achieved or the 3-minute period elapses, the warm-up 
period ends and the test begins. 

You must wear the chest strap throughout the Fitness Test. If 
the heart rate reception is erratic, incorrect readings can occur 
and terminate the test. 

You must enter your age, and in some cases, your gender and 
the altitude to begin a fitness test. 

Sit and rest for at least five minutes prior to taking the test.
