What is Metabolic Testing?
Metabolic testing is a powerful tool that measures how your body utilizes oxygen and burns calories at rest and during physical activity, providing insights to create customized fitness and nutrition protocols tailored to your unique physiology. Our services include VO₂ Max Testing, the ultimate indicator of cardiovascular fitness, measuring the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during exercise to determine aerobic capacity, performance potential, and personalized heart rate training zones. We also offer Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing to understand how many calories your body burns at rest, which is crucial for developing personalized nutrition plans for weight loss, weight gain, or maintenance.
Why Test?
Metabolic testing offers powerful insights to help you achieve your unique health and fitness goals. VO₂ Max testing measures your cardiovascular fitness and endurance, helping athletes optimize performance, improve recovery, and train smarter. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing reveals how many calories your body burns at rest — essential for creating personalized nutrition plans, whether you’re aiming for weight loss, muscle gain, or maintenance. General health enthusiasts can use this data to better understand their bodies and improve overall well-being, while older adults can benefit from tailored fitness plans designed to maintain strength, mobility, and longevity. No matter your goal, metabolic testing provides the personalized data you need to succeed.
