Services Offered

Anthropometrics and Vitals:

General Health Assessment

15 minute assessment - $50

Anthropometrics are used to assess the size, shape, and composition of the human body. Common methods used to gather these measurements include waist and hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and body mass index (BMI). Your vitals are your resting blood pressure and resting heart rate. All of these parameters can be compared to norms to see where your health lies in comparison to the general population.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR):

Resting Caloric Expenditure & Metabolic Assessment

1 hour assessment - $200 (canopy) / $300 (chamber)

An individualized measurement of the amount of calories you expend per day at rest. During the assessment, we measure resting energy expenditure and estimate total energy expended per day. You receive information about your resting oxygen consumption (O2), resting energy expenditure (REE) in calories/day, and whether you are primarily burning fat or carbohydrates.

FatMax Protocol:

Substrate Utilization Assessment

1 hour assessment - $550

The FatMax protocol, developed by Aster Jeukendrup in 2002, is a multistage, graded exercise test designed to measure fat oxidation at different exercise intensities ranging from very light to near-maximal or maximal effort. From this assessment, you will obtain information about the FatMax and FatMin, which are the intensities at which fat oxidation is at its highest and its lowest, respectively. We will be able to formulate an individualized exercise prescription with an emphasis on fat and weight loss.

Please note, the FatMax protocol requires physician clearance. See our physician referral/medical clearance form HERE. Please print the form, complete it, and bring it with you to your appointment.

Continuous Work Rate Exercise (CWRE):

Substrate Utilization Assessment

1 hour assessment - $550

This assessment is an endurance protocol (~45min - 60 min) which allows you to better understand how well your body uses both fat and carbohydrates for energy during exercise. This can be used to quantify the total number of calories you burn during an exercise bout for fueling and refueling purposes, as well as the intensity of the exercise bout and the total number of calories that are coming from fat vs. carbohydrates.

Sport-Specific Exercise:

Exercise Caloric Expenditure & Metabolic Assessment

1 hour assessment - $550 (metabolic cart) / $650 (metabolic chamber)

This assessment allows you to evaluate your normal exercise routine to better understand how many calories you burn, and whether you are primarily burning fat or carbohydrate. Work with our on-staff Certified Exercise Physiologist to develop an exercise protocol that is most appropriate for you performance goals.

Please note, the Sport-Specific Exercise assessment requires you send the PhysioLab your usual exercise regimen at least one week in advance.

24 hour Metabolic Chamber:

Total Energy Expenditure (TEE)

24 hour assessment - $2,200

An individualized gold standard measurement of energy expenditure during rest, sleeping, exercise, eating, and performing activities of daily life over a single day. This assessment provides vital information that can be used to create a specific and personalized program for weight loss, athletic performance, or general health.

VO₂ Maximal Testing:

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Assessment

1 hour assessment - $550

This exercise assessment represents the maximal rate at which your body can consume oxygen (VO₂Max) for physical work and is considered the best measure of aerobic fitness. Aerobic fitness reflects the ability of your heart, lungs, and blood to deliver oxygen to your working muscles during an exercise bout. Additionally, it reflects the ability of your working muscles to use that oxygen to support maximal exercise. Aerobic fitness is used to assess health status and determine one’s risk of chronic disease(s).This testing can be done on the treadmill or stationary bicycle and is safe for all populations with physician clearance and supervision  

Please note, VO₂ Maximal Testing requires physician clearance. See our physician referral/medical clearance form HERE. Please print the form, complete it, and bring it with you to your appointment.

Submaximal Testing:

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Assessment

1 hour assessment - $550

This exercise test is often used to estimate VO₂Max by utilizing established prediction equations for various protocols. Such equations consider the heart rate response to one or more submaximal work rates. Submaximal exercise testing is the most valid and reliable method for predicting cardiorespiratory fitness when done in a laboratory setting where work rate can be accurately measured. Additionally, these tests can provide information about the individual’s functional response to exercise through measurements of heart rate, blood pressure, rating of perceived exertion, and other objective and subjective indices. Safe for all populations.

Nutrition Adequacy Assessment:

3-day food log analysis - $200

Analysis of a self-reported 3-day food log to determine adequacy of your diet in regard to macronutrient and micronutrient distribution. Comparisons will be made to the US Dietary Guidelines and Dietary Reference Intakes. Learn where your diet is adequate and where improvements can be made.

Lifestyle Consultation:

1 hour assessment - $250 (initial) / $100 (follow-up)

Counseling and review of dietary, physical activity, and clinical/wellness data with Registered Dietitians and Certified Exercise Physiologists. Work together to develop a personalized wellness program and make long-lasting changes.
