Game Day - Test Measure and Track your Performance

We run our Game Day Testing mornings fours times a year here at Revolution Performance Training. They are a crucial part of us helping our members to test where they’re at and set goals for the next training block.

Our Training Blocks coincide with the seasons, meaning at the end of each season and the start of a new one, we test, measure and track your progress and set goals for the new season ahead.

The new seasons brings new movements, new focuses and a new program for you to sink your teeth into.

Game Day is your chance to measure the impact of your hard work over the past season of hear work! This is when we compare your current performance to your baseline strength and conditioning results, and here’s why that matters:

1. Establishing Your Baseline
For those new to your gym journey, testing helps us determine your maximum strength, balance, and both anaerobic and aerobic outputs under intensity. We then compare your results to normative data for your demographic. This insight allows our RevoPT coaches to pinpoint your training focus areas and recommend the most effective classes for your development.

2. Measuring Your Progress
If you’ve already set your fitness baseline during a previous Game Day, we can now track improvements. For example, if your 3 Rep Max Squat increases from 80kg to 95kg, that’s nearly a 20% boost in maximal strength – a huge achievement! Similar gains in bench press, deadlift, force plate testing, and conditioning indicate global progress. Your Game Day results confirm that your tailored program or class participation is working. If results fall short, we use it as a chance to discuss factors like sleep, nutrition, stress, or overall wellness with a coach. This conversation helps us make the right adjustments to keep you moving forward.

Tips for Maximising Your Saturday Testing:

  • Fuel Up: Eat a light meal 30-60 minutes before training. A boost in blood glucose provides easily accessible energy for maximal testing.
  • Rest Well: Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep the night before. Avoid late nights to ensure you’re well-rested and ready to perform.
  • Stay Tight: Luke posted a video of staying tight throughout your lifts on our socials on Friday, Trial it in your sessions this week and get that extra few percentages out on Saturday! Watch it here.
  • Stick to Your Routine: If you normally have caffeine before training, do so. Consistency is key—if you typically skip caffeine, don’t add it just for testing.
