How the RMR test works.

Preparing For The Test

Diligent preparation is important because your RMR is very sensitive. It is affected by many factors, including environment, genetics, hormones, stress, movement, and digestion. 

Pre-Test Protocol:

  1. You must FAST for a minimum of five hours (only drink water)

  2. Limit your activity beforehand (no exercise)

  3. Refrain from taking any caffeine or stimulants the day of your test and avoid alcohol within 12 hours of it

  4. Wear comfortable clothing. If you're scheduled for a VO2max test, you will need workout shoes and clothes

  5. Workout, casual, or even business clothes are all acceptable, as you will just be relaxing in a chair

During The Metabolic Test

We like to think of your RMR Metabolic test as a 15 to 20 minute meditation to break up the stress of your day...

  1. All you need to do is relax comfortably in a chair while breathing into a mask

  2. We calculate the amount of oxygen you consume during this time

  3. We analyze your data, review it with you, and answer any questions
