Want to take your training to the next level? Aerobic capacity is assessed using a VO_2max or maximal oxygen consumption test by measuring how much oxygen your body uses at maximal intensity, exhaustive exercise and can be used to guide training protocols for aerobic athletes. 
Using a treadmill or stationary exercise bicycle, we directly measure the amount of oxygen your body can utilize at maximal intensity exercise and include a report of VO_2max  along with other fitness parameters.

Pretest Considerations

• Avoid intense exercise 24-48 hours prior to testing
• Stay hydrated
• Eat light 2-4 hours prior to testing
• Wear comfortable workout clothing and appropriate shoes
• Cyclists can bring pedals and cycling shoes

BODPOD

Body Composition is the amount of body fat and fat-free mass within your body.  We use the BODPOD to determine body density which calculates body volume divided by body mass.  Density then determines percentage of body fat and fat-free mass.  The BODPOD is the gold standard body composition measuring system used by researchers, elite athletes, and the military.

 

InBody 770
The InBody 770 uses bioelectrical impedance by sending a low-level electrical currents through the body to measure body composition including segmental body fat, muscle mass, and water content. Body composition test includes both methods.

Aerobic Capacity
Resting Metabolic Rate
Pricing & Appointments

Resting metabolic rate is the amount of energy (calories) your body needs to function while at rest and does not include physical activity or exercise.  This test is the gold standard for determining dietary energy requirements.  Clients will receive a detailed report of RMR that can be used to make informed decisions.
 
These tests are only scheduled for 8am or 9am slots.  For accurate results, participants should not eat or drink 12 hours prior to the test (except water), refrain from exercise for 24 hours prior to the test and avoid stimulants such as caffeine the day of the test.  Consult with your physician before skipping any prescribed medications.

For weight management, see Body Composition and RMR package.
