Body Composition & Metabolism Testing

A healthy weight is determined by more than a number on a scale. It is not only your weight, but also how much body fat you carry above the recommended range for your age and sex that can increase your health risks.

Programs

A body composition test using Bioelectrical Impedence (BEI), will show you your percentage of body fat and body lean (bone, muscles, organs and fluid). In addition, BEI testing can help you determine which program is best for you. BEI are performed on all program participants, and are available to non-participants by appointment. Cost is $16.

Body Gem™ is a handheld device that measures resting metabolism through collection of exhaled carbon dioxide. This provides the number of calories you burn at rest each day, helping you to determine your appropriate caloric intake for weight loss or gain. Body Gems™ are performed on all program participants, and are available to non-participants by appointment. Cost is $60.
