Metabolic Profiling

Metabolic profile testing is the 'gold standard' when it comes to accurately determining what your body's energy requirements are and how you respond to exercise. Current technology allows us to accurately determine this rather than estimating it.

Hogarth membership includes regular consultations with your Personal Trainer, however to optimise your exercise time for the ultimate benefits you may wish to consider Metabolic Profile Testing. Our commitment to acquiring innovative and cutting edge equipment accompanied by the most skilled Personal Trainers in the industry gives you an opportunity to achieve your exercise and lifestyle results like never before.

What is Metabolic Profile Testing?

A simple assessment allows your metabolic profile to be 'captured' and the information will produce your individual metabolic profile. The profile includes your resting metabolic rate (RMR), your daily calorific needs and the heart rate zones in which your body best responds to exercise. Testing is quick and easy and includes a test to determine your resting metabolic rate and another test to determine your metabolic responses to exercise. Throughout the test the system is capturing information about your heart rate, oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide output.

How Does Metabolic Profiling Help?

With your unique profile you can more easily achieve weight loss goals and improve aerobic fitness by optimising your exercise plan. Your resting test illustrates how many calories you can eat without gaining weight and how you can maximise calories burned in every workout. Your exercise test results show what heart rate zones to train in for your body to become more efficient at burning fat as an energy source, how to build a stronger & wider aerobic base and what your anaerobic threshold is and how to move this higher. Whatever your training goals are, your metabolic profile is the key to training more effectively and efficiently to optimise your training results.
