What is RMR?

Your resting metabolic rate is your caloric expenditure at rest. Each person’s metabolism is unique. After testing, you will be provided with a printout of your baseline calories burned and breakdown of how your body uses available energy sources. The results can be used for tailored nutrition, training, and weight management.

Why get tested?

  • Eliminate guesswork: Eat and exercise based on YOUR caloric needs
  • Avoid under/overeating to support your health goals
  • Share results with a nutritionist or dietician to create a personalized diet

Quick and Easy

  • 15-20 minute test
  • Simple breathing analysis
