Metabolic Testing at the J. The most advanced, individual and efficient workout.

There are two types of metabolic testing - resting and active.
Resting metabolic testing for more insight into what an individual’s body needs, and how many calories need to be burned in order to attain goals of losing or gaining weight and maintaining normal body functions. Your true resting metabolic rate will be measured in determining what energy source is being used for your metabolism. Trainers are able to further customize and structure a training program, especially when combined with the exercise testing.

Active metabolic testing measures how effectively your body uses oxygen and tells us when you’re burning fat, not sugar. This is the key to determining how hard and how long you need to work out. At the end of this test, you have a completely customized cardio workout plan that is both efficient and effective. No guessing!

How long will it take?
A resting metabolic test takes 30-45 minutes. The test takes place after a fast of 10-12 hours. You will be placed in a quiet room for 15 minutes while wearing an oxygen mask. You will need to remain relaxed and calm while breating normally. After the test, your trainer will review your results and they can then be integrated into your workout program for a better, more targeted workout.

An active metabolic test takes about an hour. The test itself takes about 15 minutes on your favorite cardio machine and is administered by a certified personal trainer. You will wear an oxygen mask (which is yours to keep for follow-up tests) and will be connected to a computer. At the end of the test, your trainer will input your goals, review your results and deliver 12 weeks of customized cardio workouts! You can even receive your workout via email, every day.

How much does it cost?
