Stop Guessing, Start Measuring
get a clear picture of how many calories you need to meet your goals
Most fitness apps and online calculators use "standard equations" to estimate how many calories you burn. The problem? They don't know you. Your genetics, muscle mass, and hormonal health can make your actual metabolism vary by as much as 20% from the average.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing uses gold-standard indirect calorimetry to measure the exact amount of energy your body consumes to keep your heart beating, lungs breathing, and cells functioning. It is the literal "baseline" for every health goal you have.
Discover your unique metabolic profile
Why your RMR is the missing piece
End the "Plateau" Frustration: If you’ve been eating at a "deficit" but aren't losing weight, your RMR may be lower than estimated. We provide the hard data to show exactly where your caloric intake needs to be to trigger progress.
Precision Fueling for Athletes: For endurance athletes and high-performers, under-fueling is as dangerous as over-fueling. We identify your "Floor"—the minimum energy required to support recovery and prevent metabolic adaptation.
Data-Driven Nutrition: Whether you are looking to lose body fat or build lean muscle, your RMR provides the clinical starting point. No more "trial and error" with your diet; just a clear, math-based roadmap.
Monitor Metabolic Health: Metabolism isn't static. By testing periodically, you can see how your training and nutrition are actually changing your body's efficiency over time.
Online calculators treat everyone like a statistic. We treat you like an individual. Schedule your RMR assessment today and get the clinical accuracy you need to finally see the results your hard work deserves.

During a DEXA scan, you'll lie comfortably on a table while a scanner arm passes over your body and the table moves. It emits low-dose X-rays, which are absorbed differently by bones, fat, and lean tissue. The scan lasts 5-7 minutes
After your scan, you'll receive a comprehensive report detailing your results and have the chance to ask any questions you have about the results.
-
Yes! Dexa scans give a lot of information. There will be plenty of time after the scan to go over your results and what they mean.

Resting Metabolic Rate Testing
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing measures the exact number of calories your body burns at rest, providing the biological "blueprint" for your unique metabolism. By knowing your precise caloric needs, you can stop the guesswork and customize your nutrition plan to lose fat, gain muscle, or maintain your weight with clinical accuracy
Great for those who want to dial in more precise calorie targets or those who are struggling to lose fat.
VO2 Max testing
VO2 Max testing is the gold standard for measuring your cardiovascular fitness and aerobic capacity by analyzing how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise. This "fitness score" allows you to establish precise heart rate zones, optimize your endurance training, and track one of the most powerful predictors of long-term health and longevity.
Great for athletes who prioritize a strong cardiovascular system and metabolic health.
