A vehicle climate control system with a seat position sensor and an occupant weight sensor. The seat position sensor and the occupant weight sensor communicate a seat position and a weight of a vehicle occupant to a controller. By determining the seat position, an occupant's relative size can be estimated. Thus, when the controller receives the occupant weight data and the seat position data, a fitness factor is determined. The fitness factor is a metric that combines the occupant weight and size into a single measurement to judge the occupant's fitness level. The fitness factor, either directly or indirectly is used to determine a temperature at outlet (TAO), which is then used to adjust an HVAC system so that comfortable cabin air conditions can be provided to occupants who have different fitness factors and thus different fitness levels without the occupants making manual changes to the HVAC system.
