Metabolic-Testing/‎

Ever wonder if you have a fast or slow metabolism? Not seeing the results you want, even with diet AND exercise?

The RMR test is a quick and simple breathing test that can tell us exactly how many calories you burn each day. During the test, the air you are breathing is analyzed for oxygen levels. This determines your metabolic rate. From those numbers we can determine how many calories you need per day to gain or lose weight and reach your goals. Once you have your numbers you sit down with our Registered Dietitian to set up an individualized meal plan.

Starting March 5, American Family Fitness West End will introduce a brand new approach to nutrition and exercise. With metabolic testing we can give you the tools you need to maximize your results. There will be two tests available, Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and VO2 max.

The VO2 test measures your oxygen consumption at different exercise levels. This short exercise test will determine your target heart rate workout zones. Working out in these zones ensures results whether you are trying to burn fat or increase endurance. Until recently this technology was only available at hospitals and universities. Now, you can finally discover what’s going on with your body in a private setting at your favorite health club.

Nutrition-Services‎

We strongly believe that in order to fully achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle you must find a balance between proper nutrition, physical fitness, and mental well-being. If you are great with your exercise but not taking care of your nutrition you may be missing out on an opportunity for total health and wellness.

Just like our personal trainers help you understand the different types of exercise and how they can give your body results; our dietitian can help give you a comprehensive and insightful understanding of your own nutritional needs.

P.R.E.P.

This is the most important part of our program. We need to understand the individual strengths and weaknesses of every athlete that trains with us. The P.R.E.P. evaluation is mandatory for every athlete that wants to enter the EDGE program. During the evaluation we will take athletes through a dynamic warm-up series, study each athlete’s running technique, and test in areas related to that particular athletes sport or goals. After the evaluation, every athlete and parent will meet with a head evaluator to review the test results. At that time the athlete will be given the information from their testing and then select the best program for their specific needs.
