Why Metabolic & VO₂ Max Testing?

Weight Loss

Metabolic slowdown is the #1 reason diets fail. By measuring your true resting metabolism, we tailor a nutrition plan designed for sustainable fat loss and lasting energy.

➡️ Clients following their personalized plan lose an average of 8% of body weight.

Athletic Performance

Oxygen flow through the lungs, heart, and cells is the hallmark of peak performance. With VO₂ Max testing, you’ll know your exact training zones with clinical precision—not from a chart on the internet.

➡️ Train smarter, recover faster, and unlock your full athletic potential.

Longevity

Your VO₂ Max and oxygen utilization are among the strongest predictors of biological age and chronic disease risk. Testing gives you a measurable score—and actionable strategies to lower your biological age and age stronger.

➡️ Live healthier, longer, and more resilient.
