Metabolic Testing

The dark ages of guessing where your heart rate should be when you're working out are over!

The technology that Physically Focused uses is turning Personal Training and Coaching into a science of total body health. It is the most effective and accurate way to determine your unique capabilities and how to work with your body for the results you desire.

V02 Exercise Test (Volume of Oxygen) is an indication of aerobic cardiovascular fitness.  This test will indicate your VO2 utilization (amount of oxygen you're able to use during exercise), heart rate response, the precise number of calories your body burns during exercise, and whether fats or carbohydrates (sugars) are being used as the primary energy source.  The test also maps your appropriate heart rate training zones, giving us scientific guidelines to determine the correct exercise program to meet your individual goals. Performed on either a treadmill (walking or running) or your own road bike, the test will only take 15-20 minutes.  Afterwards, we interpret your individualized results. You will leave with an understanding of your peak VO2, anaerobic threshold, calorie burn rate for weight loss or sport, and at what heart rate you burn Max Fat in your body. This test is highly useful for weight loss, fitness, and sports performance goals.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test measures your exact daily caloric expenditure so you know how many calories you can consume a day for weight loss or weight gain goals. We measure your O2 (oxygen) consumption and CO2 (carbon dioxide) production for 10-15 minutes at rest in the morning. During your appointment, we will also include a Blood Pressure Measurement and Body Fat Composition Measurement.   Following the test, we will interpret all your individualized information and give you recommendations to obtain your goals.
