Metabolic testing provides a precise measurement of your clients RMR, which can account for up to 75% of their total calorie needs.
Metabolism testing is superior to estimation equations, such as the Harris-Benedict formula and Katch-McArdle formula.
As a Personal Trainer, your client’s weight management success depends largely on what they do outside of the gym.
It depends on them eating healthy foods, with a daily calorie intake which is going to support their body; while creating a calorie deficit to cause weight loss.
The challenge is determining the proper Daily Calorie Budget for each client, as their resting metabolic rates vary.
Yoyo dieting may have influenced their metabolism. Hypothyroidism is becoming more common, which lowers their metabolism.
Those variables can’t be accounted for with a RMR formula. Only by measuring their VO2 to determine RMR, can you provide them with an accurate, scientific measurement of their unique metabolic fingerprint.
Providing RMR measurements increases your profits per client. And helping your clients achieve their weight loss goals, helps to bring in referrals; which increases your profitability.
