Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing is a scientific method used to measure how many calories your body burns at rest. Also known as resting energy expenditure, RMR represents the minimum number of calories required to maintain essential bodily functions such as breathing, circulation, brain activity, and cellular repair.
RMR testing uses indirect calorimetry to measure oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. This allows us to calculate your true daily baseline calorie needs with clinical accuracy.
Understanding your RMR removes guesswork from nutrition planning and provides a data-driven foundation for:
Weight loss programs
Performance training
Metabolic health optimization
Hormone and thyroid support strategies
Post-injury or post-surgery recovery

Perfect for: Endurance athletes, recreational exercisers, and anyone looking to improve heart and lung function or personalize their training.
Benefits include:
How it works: You’ll walk, run, or cycle at increasing intensity while wearing a specialized mask that measures your respiratory output. The test typically lasts 15–25 minutes and is fully supervised by our trained staff.
Pro Tip: Pair this with our Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) test for a complete performance and metabolism profile.
