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 and 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.

All assessments and assessment packages require the one-time purchase of a mask and kit which is included in the prices below. Returning clients may purchase additional packages at a lower rate if they retain their original mask. Additional consults with the Registered Dietitian may be purchased for $25 each.
