Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Assessment
Pricing: $75 for the initial test; 60 minutes
$50 for follow-up, 30 minutes
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is a science-based method of measuring your strategy toward optimal weight goals. RMR represents the energy your body uses at rest, known as your “caloric burn rate,” and accounts for about 70 percent of your daily energy expenditure. Understanding your body’s RMR is crucial for crafting the proper diet and exercise plan based on your body’s natural rhythm.
This personalized approach helps you achieve your weight goals in a sustainable and healthy way.
Preparation/Procedure: Please avoid eating, exercising and consuming stimulants (like caffeine) six to eight hours before testing. Speak with a physician if you need to adjust medications before the test.
Basic Health Screening
Pricing: $50 for Wellness Center members
You should always be empowered to address health issues before they ever even occur. Our Basic Health Screening helps you understand your personal risk factors for chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular conditions or diabetes. By identifying key health indicators like cholesterol, blood pressure and body mass index (BMI), we can provide you with the knowledge you need to make informed health decisions confidently.
Early detection through regular screenings gives you the power to take control of your health and make meaningful changes before serious conditions arise. You can confidently make lifestyle adjustments that promote long-term well-being and vitality with the right information. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you feel empowered and reassured in your journey toward a healthier future.
Included in the screening:
- Cholesterol Profile

- Blood Pressure
- Body Mass Index (BMI)

Pricing: $75 for 90 minutes
Discover how efficiently your body performs under stress with our Aerobic Capacity Assessment. By measuring your endurance, this test provides crucial insights into your fitness level, whether you're training for a competition or aiming to boost your overall health. This advanced test uses indirect calorimetry to calculate your oxygen and carbon dioxide levels during intense exercise, giving you a precise measure of your endurance. This data will empower you to make targeted improvements to your exercise routine and confidently reach your goals.
Please note: For your safety, this test is not recommended for individuals with known or suspected cardiovascular, pulmonary or metabolic conditions. Your well-being is our top priority.
