Metabolic Testing

Some of our corporate clients are interested in having ProPartnersMD fitness trainers develop fitness and weight loss plans for their management team and workforce that they can implement on their own.  Metabolic testing at ProPartnersMD is an excellent way to get your people started.

Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is also referred to as the "caloric burn rate" and is directly related to how much oxygen a person consumes.  Knowing metabolic rate is vital for efficient weight loss as well as weight maintenance.

At ProPartnersMD, metabolic testing is performed using the same equipment used by U.S. Olympic teams to measure oxygen consumption at rest and with exercise.  Metabolic rate is measured at rest (to determine how many calories are burned at rest in a 24 hour period) and with exercise (to determine how many calories are burned per hour at various heart rates with exercise). In addition, the heart rate at which our clients start to transition from strictly aerobic metabolism to anaerobic metabolism is recorded.

This data is then used by our staff to formulate a dietary plan (target calories) and exercise plans (target heart rate) so that each client can efficiently reach their fitness and weight loss goals.

A thirty minute consultation with one of our certified fitness trainers is included with each metabolic testing session.  This consultation is intended to help each client to develop a detailed nutritional and exercise plan.
