Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing: Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing is universally considered "The Gold Standard" of body fat testing, to which all other methods still compare. When you lose weight, it is essential that you lose body fat, not muscle. Muscle loss can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lean up. Periodic testing using our database program will help you compare and graph your short and long term fitness goals. In only ten minutes, you will receive a six-page personalized printout that will give you the tools you need to succeed! Each six-page printout includes:
The fact that bone, muscle, and connective tissue collectively known as lean mass sinks, while body fat floats is the main principle behind hydro-densitometry (hydrostatic) weighing. By obtaining your land weight and water weight (based on buoyancy), our specialized computer program can scientifically calculate your body fat as a percentage of your total weight. Note: You will be completely submerged in water in order to obtain an accurate reading
Is your Metabolism fast or slow? By testing your unique metabolic rate, we can help you understand why you have had difficulty losing weight in the past and how you can be successful in the future. Your metabolic rate will be used to calculate your Target Caloric Zones. With the target zones, all the talk about "cutting calories" and "burning fat" will finally make sense as it applies to you. Metabolic Testing tells you exactly HOW to tip the scales in your favor!
Each person has an Optimal Training Zone sometimes called Target Heart Rate. VO2 testing reveals the exercise level that will optimize your ability to burn fat or to increase your cardio strength. Trained athletes have more endurance because their bodies can utilize higher levels of oxygen. The higher your VO2 the faster and more efficient you will be doing your favorite aerobic activities. Let us measure your rate of success!
