Remove the guesswork and save months of trial and error

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the measure of energy needed for essential bodily functions during rest, expressed in calories per day. An RMR test reveals how many calories you burn at rest doing nothing more than sitting in a chair.

During an RMR test, individuals will relax and breathe normally into a MetaBreather hose connected to a device that calculates indirect calorimetry. After 10 to 15 minutes, the machine will conclude the test, generate a report, and your trainer will review the results with you.

• Name it to tame it - Remove the common obstacles of "I can't lose weight because I have a slow metabolism" or "I can't gain muscle because I have a fast metabolism". Define your actual metabolism and create a plan based on evidence vs assumptions.

• Strategic weight loss - Initially understand RMR to enable a nutrition plan designed to safely and sustainably lose weight while maintaining muscle. As weight loss occurs, re-baseline RMR to pinpoint evolving caloric needs.

• Strategic weight gain - Establish a baseline resting metabolic rate (RMR) to gauge the caloric requirements for a bulking phase or lean mass-building strategy. Without an accurate RMR, there's a risk of underestimating calorie needs, hindering muscle growth, or overestimating and gaining unnecessary pound 

• Clinical -  RMR can provide evidence supporting a diagnosis of hypo-metabolism and offer insights into the metabolic effects of significant interventions like bariatric surgery or new medications. If you believe an RMR assessment could benefit your treatment, consult your healthcare provider.
