“Track Your Progress” Discount More Less

Save 20%!

Looking for an accurate and motivating way to monitor your progress over time? Sign up for a "Track Your Progress" package and save!

Decide upfront which service(s) you want, and benefit from our assessments every 3 months for one-year period – total of 4 visits to the SMART Lab. The "Track Your Progress" package is especially helpful if you're just starting a new diet, training, or running program. We can also tailor the number of assessments that you want.

All your assessments will have a 20% discount. "Track Your Progress" packages must be pre-paid. “Track Your Progress” packages cannot be used with other promotions (e.g., group rates, etc.). A minimum of 4 visits is required for the 20% discount. If you choose 3 visits, the discount will be at 15%. No discounts for 2 visits.

Contact the SMART Lab at smartlab@gmu.edu or call 703-993-7784 to purchase the package and schedule your appointments.

The "Track Your Progress" needs to be paid upfront, is non-refundable, and is valid for a maximum of 2 years. After this time your purchase will expire. For example, if you buy 4 visits for the BodPod on August 2015 the goal is that you use it within a year; however, the expiration date will be August 2017.

The Service is purchased in advance and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, or refunds for months unused. While we are flexible and want to assist you in achieving your goals, we appreciate your cooperation in respecting this policy. By placing an order for any of the Lab services from the SMART Lab, you indicate that you have read this policy and that you agree with and fully accept the terms of this policy.
