Metabolic Testing

Metabolic Testing is for anyone who wants to manage weight, obtain fitness insight or enhance athletic performance. The two-part assessment, administered by a trained metabolic specialist, includes a resting and exercise evaluation. Your specialist will provide:
  • a clear, simple explanation of what your body does with its fuel
  • how your system responds to exercise
  • what type of fuel your body uses most often
  • how many calories you use at rest and at different levels of exercise intensity.

Based on your test, a program will be created that will teach your body to burn fat efficiently. Metabolic testing is the foundation to your weight management, nutrition and exercise programs and provides you with your metabolic road map that will help you to achieve your body's full potential.

Active Metabolic Rate Assessment: This test will determine the number of calories that an individual will burn at various heart rates, the number of calories that come from fat and the number that come from carbohydrates. (Test includes: exercise metabolic test, target heart rate zones) This test helps you plan your 6-week exercise program.  This test can be done any time of the day.

Resting Metabolic Rate Assessment: This test will determine the number of calories an individual will burn on a daily basis without factoring lifestyle. (Test includes:  15-20 minute measurement in a resting state, resulting in exact measurement of daily caloric expenditure)  This test can only be done in the early morning

Weight Loss Assessment: This test will determine what your body needs to lose weight more effectively. (Test includes:  resting and exercise metabolic test, body composition, 6-week exercise plan, precise calorie intake guidelines for optimal daily calorie consumption)



"I completed both the active and resting metabolic test in February of 2009.  I learned I should be consuming 2,250 calories per day and that my exercise intensity had been too high.  Learning to eat more and decrease my exercise intensity lead to weight loss and me completing my first triathlon in July.  Now that's results!"
--Regina Humphries
